Cat Reproduction

A female cat is able to give birth four months, and litters tend to range from three to seven kittens. This is why population control using neutering and spaying is so important -- due overpopulation, many kittens are never able to enjoy a good life.

Centre County PAWS (Promotion of Animal Welfare and Safety) is a non-profit, volunteer organization. PAWS offers volunteers many rewarding opportunities. Volunteers must be over 18 to work at our adoption center. Volunteer applications are available at our adoption center. Our most urgent needs are listed below:

Foster Homes: PAWS is always looking for loving homes to provide foster care for our cats, kittens, dogs and puppies until we can find a permanent home for them. For more information about fostering, see our foster home page. You can also email Cat Foster Home Coordinator, Diane Casher, at cats@centrecountypaws.org or Dog Foster Home Coordinator, Liz Strickler, at dogs@centrecountypaws.org.
Dog Walkers: PAWS is looking for volunteers to walk our dogs that are staying at our Adoption and Education Center. Dog walkers must complete a brief orientation session. To apply, email Dog Schedule Coordinator Julie Kumamoto at dogs@centrecountypaws.org.
Adoption and Education Center Workers: We are always looking for volunteers to help at our Adoption and Education Center when we are open to the public (currently 11-4 Saturday and Sunday). We need people to work at the front desk greeting the public and answering the phone. We also need volunteers to work in both the cat and dog wings helping to clean and prepare the building for the public and to serve as monitors, escorts and adoption counselors. Shifts are generally 2-3 hours long. To apply, email Volunteer Coordinator, Ron Stanley, at newvolunteer@centrecountypaws.org.
Dog Handlers: We are always looking for volunteers to work with the dogs at our public showings. To apply, email Dog Schedule Coordinator Julie Kumamoto at dogs@centrecountypaws.org.
Weekday Cleaners: If you'd like to spend more time with the cats and kittens, or dogs and puppies, and less time with the public, this is the position for you. We are looking for volunteers that can come to our Adoption and Education Center to clean cages and litter boxes, and dog kennels, medicate and feed the cats and dogs, plus play with them. If this sounds like you, email Volunteer Coordinator, Ron Stanley, at newvolunteer@centrecountypaws.org.
Administrative and Non-Animal Related Activities: There are many volunteer opportunities outside of direct animal care. Opportunities include:
• Fundraising and Development
• Publicity and Event Coordination
• Building and Grounds Maintenance
• Spay/Neuter Assistance Program
• Education
• Marketing and Public Relations
• Special Projects (pet food label redemption program; liaison to groups wanting to volunteer; database entry and management)

To apply, email Volunteer Coordinator, Ron Stanley, at newvolunteer@centrecountypaws.org.
