Here's something special: Anyone 16 or older can drop by ARF's cattery whenever they feel like it.
Those younger are welcome - if accompanied by an adult.
No orientation required. No scheduling. No weekly commitment. Just show up and spend time with cats who need human connection.
Why It Matters

π Reduces stress and anxiety in the shelter environment
π Helps fearful cats learn to trust people
πΎKeeps friendly cats from becoming withdrawn
β Allows cats to show their true personalities to potential adopters
π Helps cats maintain or develop positive associations with humans
Perfect For
β¨ Visitors looking for a meaningful activity and community connection
β¨ Locals who want flexible volunteering
β¨ Anyone needing a stress-relief break
β¨ Cat lovers without pets of their own
β¨ Teens (16+) seeking volunteer hours
