Volunteering at Thrifty Kitty is rewarding and fun and is a significant service-based commitment on your part. It is important that those who volunteer take their commitment as seriously as any other regular employment. In order for Thrifty Kitty to keep its doors open, volunteers must arrive on time, on their scheduled days, unless previous arrangements have been made. We are interested in recruiting long-term volunteers. Many of our current volunteers have been with us for years and have completed hundreds of volunteer hours. Please carefully consider your schedule and your ability to commit your time. We require an initial commitment of three continuous months.
