Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Center of Sheboygan County

Many people don't know that the Humane Society of Sheboygan County hosts the adoptable cats at PetSmart in Grafton! We are urgently looking for cat caregivers at this location.

Volunteers here clean litterboxes and refresh cages, feed cats and refill water bowls, and provide important socialization and enrichment time. Our current urgent need is for Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday evenings, but other availability may be helpful, too!

If you are interested, please apply on our website at https://adoptsheboygancounty.org/volunteer/. All prospective volunteers must go through the entire application process on our website. Please do not respond directly to this request. 

PetSmart policy requires volunteers to be at least 14 years old with a guardian or 18 independently.

HSSC needs foster homes for all kittens under 8 weeks of age! Kittens are coming in faster than we can keep up with, and we need safe places for them to get accustomed to the world with safe people who can provide for their basic needs. Types of kittens typically needing foster homes are: neonatal bottle babies (need to be bottle fed every few hours), babies with mom, and older babies without mom.

All foster parents are trained by HSSC staff, and all materials needed for fostering will be provided.

Some needs are short term (week or two) where as others would be longer. Typically no more than 8 weeks time is needed from a foster parent. While an adult over 18 must be the person primarily responsible for the kittens, we encourage involvement from the whole family. In addition to helping our feline friends, this is a great way for younger children to get involved and to provide education about caring for an animal.

Occasionally fosters are needed for adult cats as well. Adult cats who are in need of foster are typically cats with fewer social skills or cats who have medical needs. The needs will vary depending on the cat.

We need help keeping our kennels clean! Kennel cleaning is done from 8:30am to about 12:00 pm, so perfect for those who like to get up and get moving right away in the morning!

Kennel cleaning volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  Cleaners are expected to empty all things out of the kennels, spray them down with cleaner, scrub them, rinse them, and squeegee.

Volunteers will then set the kennels back up for the dogs.

This position does not have a lot of hands on with animals, as staff will be the ones to transport the dogs in and out of the kennels.
