Cat Paradise: What You Can Do
Volunteer
Do you like to hang out with cats and take care of them? This is just the place to help! We can certainly use help with feeding the cats, brushing them, playing with them, cleaning up for them, and more! Not sure if you’re a cat person? Every pair of hands matters, and whatever you do to help makes a difference, whether it's just checking on them or feeding them! Join us in our mission of taking care of cats all over! Our locations are provided below. We are open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday to Friday at our main campus and adoption centers for volunteering!

Events
We host dozens of events every year. We have a Cat Waived Adoption weekend every September, a How-To-Make-Fresh-Cat-Food Day every July where you can learn to make fresh food for your cat, and a Make-A-Cat-Fur-Plushie event in February, where you can make a plushie stuffed with cat fur and adopt cats for free. We also have an annual Cat Boba Day every April where you can enjoy boba and sweet treats for humans and cats, then spend the afternoon visiting and socializing with cats. All fees will be waived for adoption, and the 60% of the money from the boba and treats will go to fund our shelter. These are only a few of the fun events we host each year!
