Have you ever thought of lending your skills and time to help pets? Options Veterinary Care is a nonprofit veterinary clinic that opened in 2020 and we need kind-hearted people like you! It's a great way to give back to those who need us the most and offers a unique opportunity to make a substantial impact on the lives of animals and people in our community. 

​

Become a Foster! 

Foster families open their hearts and homes to provide temporary love, care, and socialization for cats and kittens. Options created their foster program to help fill a void in the community when more help was needed to save lives. It allows us to transfer cats and kittens to alleviate overcrowding in local shelters. As a foster, you provide TLC and a temporary, loving home for a matter of days or weeks.  Options will provide medical care, a starter kit of supplies, training, and support, as well as facilitate adoptions when they are ready. To get started, fill out the foster application below!

​

Within the foster program, an urgent position needs to be filled—the Foster Coordinator! If you're compassionate, organized, detail-oriented, and a self-starter, this could be the volunteer role for you! Tasks include communicating with foster families to manage appointments, responding to foster inquiries, and updating foster resources. Options will provide training and some of this can be done remotely. To find out more or apply, email foster@optionsveterinarycare.org today!
