We regret to inform you that due to the overwhelming number of volunteer applications we’ve received, we are unable to process new volunteer applications at this time. We value your interest in volunteering with us and encourage checking back later for updates on volunteer opportunities. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Tree House welcomes volunteers into almost every aspect of our work, and we are always seeking excited, dedicated individuals who are looking to join our community to support our mission!

Volunteering is a great way to join a community of friends and supporters, learn more about animal welfare, and give back to the furry friends we love so much. Although many of our roles do involve interaction with the cats in some capacity, we don’t currently offer roles with the sole focus of kitty playtime.

If you’re interested in volunteering solely with our cats, you can join us as a Foster volunteer! Fostering is an invaluable way to help the animals in our care, and you need less than you think! Head over to our Foster page to learn more.

Individuals ages 18 and older are welcome to apply to volunteer independently at Tree House!
