Volunteer / Community Service Opportunities

We could not have provided as many caring homes without first acknowledging the tremendous work of our volunteers. As an all-volunteer non-profit agency, our volunteers devote countless hours to providing foster care, direct care at our transitional shelters, adoption counseling at our Kitty City Adoption Center, and the volunteers who man the phones, edit the newsletter, The Wanderer, update our webpages and provide administrative support. We thank our volunteers who developed two films on SPIN’s adoption policies and programs.
