Volunteering

Do you love animals? Do you love the feeling of satisfaction that comes with saving the life of an abandoned animal? Do you find yourself asking How can I make a difference? Well look no further!

As San Francisco's largest cat rescue organization, Give Me Shelter is always striving to expand its reach and success in rescuing as many cats as possible from death row. In order to do this, we need cat-savvy, fun-loving, high-energy people like you to volunteer! The work is fun and the rewards are tremendous!
