DISCLAIMER

As part of becoming a For the Love of Cats volunteer, I understand that cats and kittens can be skittish and bite and scratch.   I also understand that there may be bacteria and parasites that are zoonotic (transferable to humans).   I agree to abide by all the rules of the shelter and practice good hygiene so as to benefit the animals and myself.  We also recommend that volunteers change clothing when they get home and wear no jewelry while at the shelter.
