Become a Volunteer!

Volunteers are needed in many programs that benefit the cats of Harmony House by raising funds, caring for the cats directly, and providing a safe and loving environment for every cat. Read over all the opportunities available, and get involved by signing up online today! You will receive an e-mail acknowledging your application, and listing the dates for upcoming volunteer orientations.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older to participate in most volunteer activities. The Socialization and Grooming Program is currently the only activity open to Junior Volunteers ages 5 - 17.

Harmony House does not accept adults doing court-mandated Community Service Hours.

Junior Volunteers

Harmony House welcomes Junior Volunteers to participate in our Cat Grooming and Socialization Program. Each Junior Volunteer must be accompanied by their own parent during orientation and at all times when volunteering. A teacher, older sibling, or family friend cannot be substituted. Children under the age of 5 are not eligible to be Junior Volunteers.

Socialization and Grooming Program

Socialization Volunteers comb and brush the cats, play with the outgoing cats and kittens, and learn one-on-one socialization techniques to help prepare the newer cats for adoption into a new home. This program takes place
6 - 8 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Outreach

Help the cats put their best paw forward by participating in adoption events, and appearing at various pet stores, pet shows, and animal-friendly shops. You will promote Harmony House's cats and upcoming events by talking with visitors at our table or booth, and distributing newsletters and event flyers. Reliability and promptness are essential, as well as a friendly and courteous manner with the public. A knowledge of the shelter, and its adoption and admission policies, is necessary to answer questions at an Outreach event. It is recommended that you attend Socialization Nights to become familiar with Harmony House.

Outreach volunteers must be 18 years or older.

Special Events

Special events, such as the Spring Dinner, Pet Psychic Fair, and Holiday Fest, take place throughout the year and require the talents and hard work of our volunteers. From planning the event, making craft items and baked goods, to working the event day, and cleaning up, there are many tasks to be done. Event planning and set-up usually take place on weekday evenings, and special events on weekend afternoons.

Special Event volunteers must be 18 years or older.
