Volunteering for animal shelters and cat rescue groups is a terrific way for cat lovers to give cats in cages the love and attentive care they deserve. It's a meaningful part-time occupation for students as well as retired folks, and the personal rewards are richer than any financial compensation might be. It's also a good way to enjoy cats for people who can't have a personal feline companion.
