Children’s Volunteer Opportunities

Page Pals is open to youth ages 6 to 15 with parental supervision. Our Page Pals volunteers provide enrichment and reduce stress for cats, while at the same time strengthening reading skills, by reading out loud to our pets in both our Real Life Rooms and Cat Housing. Human interaction is one of the most important ways we keep our pets happy and healthy and you and your child can be an important part of this work.

Be sure to read and complete ALL steps in the Getting Started section to the right before signing up for your Page Pals orientation!

How It Works

Kids age 6 to 15 may read to the cats at our Main Campus location with your supervision. Because of the training involved we do ask that you and your child commit to at least six months with the Page Pals program.

Getting Started

The following steps will need to be completed:

Step 1: Please complete our Volunteer Application. A parent or guardian must complete the application.

Step 2: You and your child(ren) attend new volunteer orientation.

Step 3: After orientation, both parent and child are required to watch two short videos on cat behavior.

Step 4: After completing the videos, we will schedule an in-person mentoring session for you and your child(ren) at our Main Campus.
