Albuquerque Animal Welfare is calling for volunteers to assist with a surge of kittens arriving at its shelters this spring. The department, which operates multiple facilities in the city, typically experiences a significant increase in intakes during the warmer months, known as "kitten season."
Volunteer roles are needed to support essential care tasks, including socializing kittens, assisting with feeding, cleaning enclosures, and providing administrative help. The department emphasizes that no prior experience is necessary, as training will be provided to all new volunteers.
"We rely heavily on our volunteers," said a representative from the department in a recent public appeal. "Their help is crucial in ensuring these vulnerable animals receive the care and attention they need while they await adoption." Interested individuals can apply through the official City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare website.
