Volunteer with Us
When you volunteer at Perry’s Place or with one of our programs, you’re directly helping cats get the love, care, and homes they deserve.
Foster cats and kittens
Fostering gives cats the space and time they need to heal, grow, and find their forever homes.
Types of foster roles:
- Kitten Foster – Care for kittens until they’re adoption-ready

- Medical Foster – Provide a comfortable recovery space for cats post-surgery or treatment
- Hospice Foster – Offer love and comfort to senior cats in their final chapter
- Adoption Advocate – Promote your foster cat on social media or in your community

Not everyone can foster or volunteer on-site, and that’s okay! There are lots of ways to help out:
- Share our adoptable cats on social media
- Attend adoption events and fundraisers
- Donate toward food, medical care, and enrichment
- Host a supply drive at your workplace, school, or community group
- Invite us to speak at your business, classroom, or club
- Network: connect us with potential adopters, fosters, and sponsors
Events and special activities
Meet the cats, connect with our community, and make a difference, one paw at a time.
Even if you can’t volunteer regularly, you can still be part of the Heaven on Earth family by joining us at special events throughout the year.
We host a variety of fun and impactful activities to bring people together in support of the cats.
Past events
Adoption Events
Mobile adoption days at local pet stores, community fairs, and pop-up markets. These events help our cats meet more potential adopters.
Seasonal Fundraisers
Events like our Spring Fling or Kitty Bazaar combine shopping, entertainment, and Meet & Greets with adoptable cats.
Private and on-site gatherings
Host a group visit to Perry’s Place for your team, school, or club. We can arrange behind-the-scenes tours, volunteer shifts, or educational talks.
Group volunteering
Corporate, school, or community groups can schedule a service day to help with cleaning, organizing supplies, socializing cats, or special projects.
Special projects and can enrichment days
Activities like building cat furniture, making blankets, or prepping adoption packets… Great for crafty or hands-on volunteers!
