Help us care for kittens in meaningful, hands-on shelter work! Our shelter cares for orphaned and underage kittens who require specialized feeding support. Kittens require frequent feedings based on their age group to promote healthy growth and development. Please review the linked training below before your first scheduled shift.

Please note that we do not always have bottle babies or young kittens in the shelter as we ideally try to place them into foster; however, we want to ensure our organization has the capacity to care for these animals should the need arise. This opportunity will remain active and available throughout "Kitten Season", but volunteers might be asked to socialize, or help care for, adult cats as well.
Responsibilities include:
- Kitten Feeding: bottle feeding kittens based on their age and needs.
- Cleaning: assist staff with keeping the area clean and sanitized.
- Documenting: assist staff in monitoring and documenting kitten health and wellness by maintaining a feeding log.
Please contact volunteers@halifaxhumanesociety.org if you have any questions or issues.
