Volunteer Application

There are many ways you can volunteer for Chesapeake Feline Association!

At the Shelter:
We are currently looking for volunteers for morning or evening shifts at our shelter. This shelter is located in the North East, MD area. This typically includes cleaning and checking up on the cats. We currently have cats of all sizes and ages. Some cats are long term residents with conditions, but are still very loving and looking for forever homes! Volunteering at the shelter creates relationships with each cat, and within a couple visits they are very happy to see you!

At Petco:
We are currently looking for volunteers for morning or evening shifts at either of our Petco locations. We are currently at Bel Air, MD and North East, MD Petco. This typically includes cleaning and interacting with the cats and kittens. Volunteering at Petco is a great way to donate your time, and the kittens are adorable!
