Wanted: Special people for a very special mission
Do you want to experience the heartwarming satisfaction that comes from helping some very special animals who can’t help themselves? If you have ever volunteered your time to help a worthy cause, then you know that wonderful feeling of self-satisfaction. If you have never been a volunteer, this would be a great opportunity to start! In either case, we want you!

If you believe that all life is precious, join our corps of volunteers and help The Hermitage carry out its mission. There are many ways that you can help save lives, find loving homes for deserving animals, keep our feline residents healthy, happy, and safe, and help obtain financial support. We need volunteers to do the following:

  • Assist at off-site adoptions
  • Cleaning in Shelter
  • Laundry
  • Dishwashing
  • Help in the office
  • Pick up collection boxes and donated pet food.
  • Building repairs and maintenance
  • Grounds keeping

For more information about volunteering please see our Volunteer Manual.

You can choose to volunteer at the shelter, or you can work from home. You must be reliable and willing to follow directions. Once you have received orientation/training and signed the volunteer agreement, you will be ready to help us carry out our mission as one of our valued volunteers.
