Volunteer with Critteraid
Apply TodayThe cheering squad that surrounds you while you volunteer will truly inspire you.
Our need for volunteers is the heartbeat of our organization. We have so many options to choose from and time frames to work with anyone’s schedule. Every facet of care is needed and we wish for you to gravitate towards an area that you are passionate about.
We personally know the benefits from the reward of volunteering and would enjoy the opportunity to welcome you to the sanctuary. If any of these areas are of interest, please fill out a form and we will be thrilled to set up an orientation tour.
For all of our Volunteers, your personal safety is always our primary concern. You will never be requested to work in an area that you feel vulnerable or unprotected. We want your Volunteer experience to be a happy one – one that will give you joy, pride, compassion and respect.
Thank you in advance for choosing us to volunteer with.
Volunteer Opportunities
Cat Sanctuary
We are always looking for volunteers to join us at the Cat Sanctuary to participate in FCC! That stands for Feeding, Cleaning or Cuddling. A clean space helps prevent the spread of diseases, reduces stress, and creates a comfortable and safe haven for the cats to thrive. Your help in maintaining this cleanliness is vital to their well-being, and you can choose morning or evening shifts. Help us nourish our furry friends by volunteering for a morning or evening feeding shift. Share your love by cuddling and comforting our adorable cats during our cuddling hours between 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm every day.
Pasture Pals
Our Pasture Pals appreciate your help too! We have morning and evening chores – common on most farms – which are easy to learn and provide a great workout! Our goats welcome cuddles too and we are always looking for goat cuddlers. If projects are your game, there are always things on our project list to complete, from repairing loose fencing, to building maintenance and painting.
Thrift Shoppe
Our Charity Thrift Shoppe benefits from volunteers who like to receive donations (it’s Christmas morning with every box you open), those who love to research prices online and price our goods for sale, and folks who love to meet people and have a chat while ringing up purchases!
Recycling Team
There are 99 bottles of beer on a wall, and you love to pick them up, sort them at the bottle sty under the watchful eye of the pigs and peacocks, and drop off to the recycling depot. It is a stinky and smelly job that brings in quite a lot of money to help support our sanctuary!
