I volunteer at Maxfund Animal Shelter, the biggest true non-kill shelter. I do work for the dog and cat shelter, so I cam be most helpful. When I go to the cat shelter, I start in the two front rooms and see if the cages need to be cleaned. Of if the cats need more water or food. Then I go to the other front room to see if they need anything. I also clean their little boxes and disinfect. I socialize the cats as well so they can eventually be in a room together and not fight, and if they are are just shy and kind of aggressive; i go in and just sit with them and try and play and read to them. So they aren't afraid. I do that with the dogs and cats. When I do dogs I check if they all have food and water and then I walk them if they need one or just want one. I clean their kennels as well.
