REQUIREMENTS TO VOLUNTEER:

We are currently seeking the following volunteers to help us save kitty lives. 

ADOPTION COUNSELORS:  

Candy's Cats has opportunities for Adoption Counselors at our weekend Adoption Events at the Winter Garden Petsmart.  Adoption Counselors are the people who ensure that each of our cats and kittens gets adopted into the right FOREVER home. The position involves talking to people who are interested in adopting a cat to match them with the right cat. Adoption Counselors facilitate the adoption process by helping people choose a cat that's right for their family, conducting the initial screening of each applicant, and seeing that all applicable forms and contracts are complete for an adoption.

We provide you with training and the tools. This is a recurring opportunity for the right person.

CAT CARE TECHNICIANS:  

Do you love cats? If you love cats and would like to interact with some during the week, this is a great opportunity. Candy's Cats keeps cats at the PetSmart Adoption Center at Winter Garden Village. During the week we need volunteers to go into the store and take care of our cats who are staying there. There are usually 6-10 cats in the adoption center and they need 2-3 per day visits for food, water, litter box cleaning, tidy up of their cubicles, some love and play time. It usually takes 1-2 hours per visit.

This is a recurring volunteer opportunity with 1-2 hour shifts available 7 days a week. There are a.m. and p.m. shifts available; a.m. is before noon and p.m. is late afternoon / early evening. Volunteers usually select one or two shifts per week. Once you are trained we would want you to set a recurring schedule for some length of time. 

In addition, we need volunteers 7 days a week at our Apopka Adoption Cottage and Welcome Center, located at 307 W. Main Street, Apopka, FL 32712.
