Volunteer Opportunities
Become a Volunteer Cat Companion
Blue Bell volunteers have played a vital role in supporting the organization since our founding in 1989.
What does a Blue Bell volunteer do?
Volunteering is rewarding and fun! Our dedicated group of cat-lovers act as companions to our kitties, helping us create the homelike environment that is so unique to Blue Bell.
The main responsibility of our volunteers is to build bonds with our resident cats and engage them in various enrichment activities, like grooming and play.
In addition to cat companionship, volunteers can participate in special events both on and offsite throughout the year.
What are the requirements?
All volunteers must:
When can I volunteer?
Blue Bell is open to volunteers 365 days a year from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm weekdays and 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm weekends.
Volunteers are asked to commit a minimum of two hours per week or every other week at a regular day and time. This day and time will be determined based on volunteer availability and Blue Bell’s needs.
A fixed volunteer schedule helps provide stability in the cats’ lives and ensures that we can maximize the amount of time each day that the cats receive love and attention. We limit the number of volunteers per shift to ensure resident cats remain comfortable and aren’t overstimulated by too many visitors. Because of this, our volunteer spots fill quickly!
Additional information:
Our volunteer program does not accept applicants seeking to fulfill court assigned community service obligations.
The Blue Bell Foundation for Cats reserves the right to reject a candidate at any stage of the volunteer application or onboarding process. We also reserve the right to dismiss a volunteer from service at any time.
