Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Application

We are a 100% volunteer organization, and we NEED YOU!

There are many ways you can volunteer for Purr Partners Feline Rescue.  The rewards are endless.  Find your niche and join us!

  • Fostering
    Fostering is perhaps our greatest need. It involves keeping and caring for kitties in your home until adoption; transporting kitties to vet visits, supply days, PetSmart adoption events; and more.  We need fosterers for cats of all ages. We also need specialty fosterers such as quarantine and medical fosterers.
  • PetSmart Adoptathon Counselors 
    Adoptathons are held every Saturday and Sunday at three area PetSmart Adoption Centers: Wake ForestNorth Raleigh, and Six Forks.  You will be the face of Purr Partners Feline Rescue by interacting with the public.  Being flexible and friendly is definitely a plus!  You will show cats to pre-approved adopters, discuss cats’ bios/personalities, health records, and explain our adoption process to potential applicants. Tasks also include setting up/taking down cages, refreshing food & water, and answering basic questions from potential adopters. Oh, and the cuddles and purrs are FREE! ♥
  • Cat Cuddling and Adoption Center Maintenance
    This involves cuddling the kitties and cleaning their condos at one of our three PetSmart Adoption Centers.  This is a great way to get your “kitty fix”!
  • TNVR Team
    Help our special Wandering Whiskers program by helping trap, neuter, vaccinate, and return (TNVR) feral cats in Franklin County.
  • Transportation
    We are always in need of transporters to give cats and kittens “freedom rides” from shelters, transport kitties to and from vet appointments, and more.
  • Fundraising
    Are you experienced in fundraising?  This is another great need. We have several fundraising events throughout the year, with our biggest fundraiser being our annual Black Cat Bash!
  • Donation Coordinators
    This involves requesting donations from area businesses for events.
  • Marketing, Publicity, and Advertising
    Help spread the word about the wonderful work we do by distributing posters and flyers to area businesses in Wake Forest and Raleigh.
  • Graphic Designers
    Talented in graphic design? Your talent can be used to create digital media for use as posters, flyers, social media, and more.
  • Website Editor
    If you have WordPress experience, help keep our web site up to date with the latest information.
  • Photography and Video
    You would photograph our current foster cats and kittens, take photos at events, and produce videos.
  • Development
    We need individuals who can help us raise funds through capital campaigns, major corporate and business gifts, foundations, individual gifts, grants, and more.

Do any of these sound like you?  Complete the Volunteer Application indicating your areas of interest, and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to discuss.

There may or may not be a need in a particular position at any given time (except fosterers, which are ALWAYS needed), but we will work to find a good fit for your time and skills where it will have the greatest impact.
