Our Volunteers: The True angels

Pet Angel is always looking to add more people to their team of Angels! Whether you're retired, a group of scouts or a school club, a sorority or fraternity from a local college, a family who wants to teach their children about volunteering, a High School student looking for volunteer hours, in need of community service hours ordered by the court, or just a heart who wants to love the kitties who need it most... we want you! 

Our volunteers do all of the daily cleaning and care for our cats, so this is where we need the most volunteers! Our cleaning shifts are twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Once you are trained by another volunteer, you sign up for whatever shift works with your schedule, making volunteering at Pet Angel flexible for everyone! Morning shifts are completed anytime before 10 am (meaning you can come in at anytime, as long as the cleaning is completed by 10 am) and evening shifts begin anytime after 5 pm (meaning you can arrive to begin your evening shift anytime after 5pm.) Cleaning shifts take about 2 hours, and involve sweeping and mopping cages and rooms, scooping/ replacing litter boxes, providing fresh food and water, replacing any soiled bedding, wiping down furniture/ walls, loading and running the washer and dryer and administrating medication to the kitties that need it that day. Of course, once your cleaning is done, you get to play, groom and cuddle with all the kitties! Children need to be above the age of 8 to volunteer, but if you are under the age of 18, you must have a parent or guardian inside the rescue with you during cleaning shifts (most cleaning shifts, our office staff is not here.) 

We are looking for volunteers who are able to volunteer weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Since our volunteers do all of the cleaning and requires training, we feel it requires more commitment than if you are just looking to volunteer once or twice. 

Fundraising Committee and Event Volunteers:  We are privately owned, non-profit, 5(0)1(c)(3). This means that we are not state funded. We depend on the donations from the public, as well as the funds our fundraising committee raises each year. We are always looking to add driven and dedicated people to our fundraising committee, as well as volunteers who would like to work events that we do as volunteers. Each year we have a silent auction, sell T-Shirts at the Balloons Over Bavarian Inn Hot Air Balloon Event, sell our cookbook at the Kris Kringle Market in Frankenmuth, as well as other miscellaneous events throughout the year. If you're interested in fundraising, or working events to help us raise funds for our never-ending vet bill, we love to have you on board!

We are always happy to work with groups! In the past, we have worked with sororities, fraternities, scout troops, school clubs, daycares, businesses, even nursing homes for a fun volunteer day at the rescue! We ask groups to collect items or make toys, blankets or beds (we have directions, don't worry!) before you come into the rescue, and then schedule a day for your group to bring in your donations, learn about our facility and animal care, and get to meet all the kitties! For our younger visitors, this also includes a snack time! If your group or club is interested in setting something up, please reach out to Pet Angel directly to talk about the projects you can do prior to visiting and set up a service day! We'd love to have you in!
