Give Your Time. Save a Life.
Lucky Paws is entirely volunteer-run. Every rescue, transport, adoption event, and medical appointment happens because of people like you. Whether you have a few hours a month or a few hours a week, there’s a meaningful role waiting.
Volunteers Keep Lucky Paws Moving
From hands-on cat care to transport, events, and behind-the-scenes support, every role helps us rescue more cats and guide them toward safe, loving homes. Lucky Paws has no paid staff — everything we do happens because of people who choose to show up.
Find Your Role
Our volunteer opportunities span a wide range of skills and time commitments. No experience is necessary — just a willingness to show up for the cats.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
Help support humane trapping, recovery, and return efforts that protect community cats and reduce overpopulation.
Transport
Assist with rides to vet appointments, foster homes, adoption events, and other rescue-related needs.

Support medication routines, appointment coordination, and follow-up care for cats receiving treatment.
Kennel Care
Help clean, feed, refresh supplies, and spend one-on-one time with cats in our care.

Represent Lucky Paws at adoption events, fundraisers, and community outreach opportunities.
Administration
Help with scheduling, communication, organization, records, and other behind-the-scenes tasks that keep rescue work moving.
