FAQs
Are these paid positions?

All roles are currently unpaid and volunteer-based, as we are a small 501c3 nonprofit. Our work is driven by purpose, passion, and community impact.
As our organization grows, some rescue team roles may have the potential to become compensated in the future, though this is not guaranteed.
How much time do board/rescue team roles require?
2
Board roles are a low time commitment and typically involve one meeting per month, with occasional support outside of meetings.
Rescue team roles are more hands-on and usually involve weekly or ongoing involvement, depending on the role.
What if I don’t know where I fit yet?
3
That’s okay! Our interest forms help us learn more about your skills, availability, and interests so we can find the best fit together.
How long is a typical foster commitment?
4
Most of our fosters are long-term and care for cats until they’re adopted. This provides stability and helps cats settle, decompress, and thrive.
Do I need prior rescue or cat experience?
5
Not always. Some roles require experience, while others are a great way to learn and grow with support from our team.
