Opening Hours: By Appointment

Become a volunteer!

We are a no-kill, cat shelter that relies solely on volunteer work and donations to run.

At present, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions, we are unable to take on and train new volunteers. If you are still interested in volunteering with us when things calm down, please fill in the volunteer application – but please note it may be several months before we have another volunteer intake. 

If you have a passion for animals and some time to commit to helping them, then why not volunteer with us!

For any questions please contact enquiries@thecatcorner.com.au

Frequently Asked Questions

How old do I need to be to apply?

What commitments do I need to make?

We ask for one three hour shift per week , which are 11am -2pm Weekdays, 10am–1pm Saturdays and 12–3pm Sundays. There is a six month minimum commitment.

What is involved in volunteering?

Our volunteers help with the daily care of our cats by feeding, cleaning and socialising with them until they find their new homes. Please note: there can be quite a bit of bending and kneeling involved.

We aim to contact all applicants, but please be patient. Short listed applicants will be invited in for an interview.
