Would You Like to Volunteer?

We are looking for Volunteers to help at the Wildlife Center.
  • During the Fall and Winter our work load increases and extra help is always appreciated.
  • For those who prefer to be indoors during the cooler weather, we could use your help in the Entrance Booth, Food Preparation Area and/or the Gift Shop.
  • Volunteers that are interested in animal related positions must first learn the guest relations side of Cat Tales. Once PR training has been mastered, should you chose to expand your skills, opportunities to work around the animals may be available.
  • Volunteer positions and availability changes with the seasons, the current staffing and the animal population.
  • We are also in need of help with construction projects.
If you are interested in volunteering, please come out and see us. Thanks!!
Regardless of which area you would like to volunteer in, the following is required:
  • You must be Honest, Dependable, Punctual, Polite, Happy, and Safe
  • Also, a Self-Starter, a Team Player, and have your own Transportation.
We are looking for long term volunteers as the training will take us away from our animal related duties.
We ask our volunteers to dedicate one day, of at least 4 hours, per week for the season or longer.
All Volunteers will need to complete a Volunteer Application.
  • Please download the application below and send it back by email or regular post.
  • You can also bring it by Cat Tales and we can get you helping right away.
  • If you have a "resume" that tells us a bit about you, it is helpful to include it.
  • All prospective volunteers will be interviewed prior to acceptance.
