Thanks for your interest in volunteering with Gifford Cat Shelter! 

​

  At this time, we are not accepting applications for new volunteers, but encourage you to check back periodically for changes in status.

 

We are tremendously grateful to our supporters who are interested in volunteering and there are still many ways to help us help cats!

 

1) Are you crafty?  Create handmade blankets and carrier/trap covers:

•  No Sew Blanket

• Cage mats (require sewing)

• Crochet cat blanket (video)

• Crochet 2

• Crochet 3

• Knitting

• Knitting: make roughly a 2' x 3' rectangle of knit one, purl one (but it doesn't matter if you just do all one stitch either)

• Trap/Carrier cover (requires sewing)

• Get your crafty friends together and make a party of it!

• Do you know of a better pattern or set of instructions? Please pass them along to volunteer.coordinator@giffordcatshelter.org! 

​

2) Create a Facebook Fundraiser: https://www.facebook.com/fund/giffordcatshelter/

• Whether it’s for your birthday, in memory of pets or family members, or just because - Facebook makes it easy to create and publicize your own fundraiser.

4) Donate items from our wish lists:
