Counsel Prospective Adopters with Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats
Help cats find their permanently matching homes by becoming an Adoption Counselor. Dynamic options are available, allowing you to volunteer in person at community adoption events (such as weekend pop-ups at Petco locations) or complete virtual adoptions work entirely from home. Remote tasks involve reviewing applications and conducting phone interviews with potential pet parents, while on-site tasks involve showcasing the feline graduates to the public. Training and technology onboarding required.
Help with Transportation at Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats
Act as a dedicated taxi driver for the feline students. They are always on the lookout for reliable transport volunteers to safely drive cats and kittens to and from scheduled medical or specialty doctor appointments in the Hollywood area. Volunteers must have reliable personal transportation, a valid driver's license, and up-to-date auto insurance. Must be 18 years or older with a clean driving record and reliable vehicle.
Transport Bulk Supplies with Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation

Must be 21 years or older with a valid driver's license.
Forage Feed Supplies as a Hay Transporter with Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation
Become a "Hay Elf" to ensure rescued rabbits receive vital dietary items! Volunteers pick up 1 to 3 large bales of hay from specialty locations on Riverside Drive in Glendale or from the Red Barn feed store in Reseda, bag it securely, and drop it off at West LA or Playa del Rey holding locations. Most drivers complete runs on weekends when traffic is lighter, and fuel expenses are fully covered by the organization. Requires a valid driver's license and a vehicle large enough for hay bales.
Build Wooden Nest Boxes with Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation
Lend carpentry skills to build custom wooden sanctuary boxes for rescued rabbits. Volunteers use a blueprint provided via email to construct specialized nest boxes using 3/4" solid unfinished pine wood, small nails, or screws. These structures provide rabbits in temporary facilities with insulation to stay warmer, a secure location to hide, and a durable surface to jump on. Because materials are un-funded, this serves as an ideal project for community groups, schools, or Eagle Scouts looking to source and assemble items.
Foster Homeless Bunnies with Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation
Provide a temporary indoor home environment for rescued house rabbits awaiting adoption. The organization supplies spayed, neutered, and litterbox-trained rabbits, and handles animal placements responsibly so foster parents are never stuck with long-term financial commitments.

Requires an orientation, home contract verification, and driver's license.

Open to ages 12+ (minors aged 12-15 require constant parental accompaniment).
Deliver Animal Assisted Therapy and Operational Support with Love On 4 Paws
