Petco Carle PlaceThe hidden treasure tucked away in the Carle Place Petco store is our mini adoption center! Positioned in the front window across from the acquariums stands a bank of 4 cat enclosures where some of our most adoptable cats await love. It is up to volunteers to tidy up after, spoil, and promote the cats here. A volunteer shift at Petco consists of light cleaning, cat playtime, and assisting any interested visitors in meeting the cats. The more inviting we are for visitors, the higher likelihood of adoptions happening for our cats. Each time a cat is adopted, it opens up a spot for a new rescue to come in and experience the same royal treatment!
