Help Shelter Cats As A Volunteer Snuggler At These Kitten Nurseries

How would you like to spend your free time as a volunteer baby kitten snuggler?

Can we sweeten the deal by pointing out that the snuggling takes place in a kitten nursery -- a kitten nursery! -- and is part of a grand effort to help save shelter cats' lives?

Best Friends Animal Society currently has two kitten nurseries -- one in Los Angeles and one in Salt Lake City -- where orphaned kitties and nursing moms, are given round-the-clock care.

Staff and volunteers bottle feed the kittens -- who come from area shelters, which often don't have the resources to take care of them -- make food, clean the many, many things that require cleaning and perform all those tasks that help keep these little creatures safe and well.

2. I have visited this shelter

they are fantastic. I spent over 2 hours here. All kinds of playrooms set up. You are free to visit and just go in and play with them. So many pretty kitties!! You can foster also if you are not ready or able to adopt. (They have some dogs here also.)
