how old do you have to be to volunteer?
For the majority of volunteer roles within TCR you need to be 18 years or older. There are student roles that we need help with, but some of these do need to have the student being accompanied by someone 18+ (student’s friend or family) – please see the student section.
How long does it usually take to receive a reply for a student position ?
Hi Kevin, Usually it takes a week, but it can take upwards of two weeks depending on the volunteer leads availability to respond.
so you have to 16 inorder to volunteer?
For the most part are volunteers have to be 18 years or older due to the nature of the volunteer with cats, but we have some options for young adults in our student section.

Hey, I’m 13 years old and I was wondering if you guys needed a volunteer. Unfortunately my mom can’t come with me so I’ll have to volunteer by myself, but I have years and years of experience with dogs, cats, horses, etc.
Hi Ash, To volunteer at one of our affiliated stores you must be 16 years old, but please fill in our Volunteer Form with what you would be interested in helping with and one of our volunteers will get back to you with next steps.
