Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Humane Society of Catawba County; a truly rewarding experience working with pets in need!

Humane Society of Catawba County is looking for people interested in fostering homeless animals. Fostering is often necessary when animals need a little more time and TLC prior to adoption; for example, mothers with nursing litters, orphaned litters, and shy animals that need extra socializing.  We also have a growing need for short-term foster care, sometimes just a couple of weeks, for healthy dogs awaiting transport to another rescue.

We will provide everything you need; the foster family will only need to bring the animal to the shelter occasionally for medical check-ups or for their transport date. The time commitment and selected animal(s) are entirely based on what is convenient for the foster family If you are interested in opening up your home and heart by becoming an in-home hero contact us for more information.

If you have issues with mice breaking into your food or grain storage, or causing chaos in the garden, consider a low-cost, non-toxic option — hire a cat! The Humane Society of Catawba County's "Employ-A-Cat" program helps under-socialized felines, also known as feral or community cats, find homes where they can earn their keep. These cats may be timid around humans, but they make terrific companions for a horse or goat. When you employ a cat from us, you are saving the life of a feline who cannot be adopted into a traditional home. It is important to understand that your new employee may or may not allow human contact.

Care

Your feline employee will need a clean, dry shelter — a barn, stable, garage, warehouse, or any location where they can escape predators. As with any pet you adopt, it is your responsibility to provide clean water, food every day, and long-term veterinary care.

Included With Adoption

• Spay/neuter surgery
• One-year rabies vaccine
• Ear tip (a surgical notch on the ear that shows a community cat has been altered)

If you are interested in offering employment to a feline, fill out our working cat questionnaire below. Please allow 3-5 business days for our staff to review your submission. We will select a cat for you based on current shelter residents, and gender preference will be considered based on availability. You will not be able to visit or spend time with your cat prior to adoption.

HSCC’s Pet Food Pantry is designed to support pet owners facing financial hardship by providing temporary pet food assistance. One in four pet owners who surrender their pets cite financial difficulties as the reason. By offering supplemental food support, HSCC aims to keep pets in their homes and out of shelters.

Many individuals will prioritize feeding their pets over themselves, or may resort to feeding them table scraps which can lead to health issues. Our goal is to ensure pets remain healthy and with the families who love them.

Please note: We are unable to provide food for individuals feeding feral cat colonies.
