Junior Volunteers
NFSAW welcomes young animal enthusiasts to become Junior Volunteers (ages 12-17) with a parent or guardian present. Junior Volunteers can participate in activities focused on cat care, offering them a hands-on experience in supporting our feline friends.
In addition, we encourage little ones (under age 12) to get involved through crafting, baking, or holding donation collections for the shelter. It's a fantastic way for the younger members of our community to contribute to the welfare of animals.
