After the initial orientation day, you will have a morning, afternoon or evening shift at the Animal Care placement and will work for approximately 3 to 5 hours per day.
Your tasks will vary day-to-day but can include assisting with playing and socializing with the cats, feeding them, cleaning the cat wooden house, assisting with some veterinary tasks, supporting the adoption events, maintaining the garden, and taking photos and videos of the cats to help promote their adoption. Playing with the cats each day is very important as it enables them to be more social with people and it makes it easier for them to be adopted later.
