Cat Matchmakers (includes kittens) (at Adoption Center)

(Advanced) Matchmakers are stationed in the hallways outside the cat/kitten rooms. They will be responsible for managing the public access to animals. Matchmakers are expected to become knowledgeable about the pets in their areas and help potential adopters get to know the pets they might be interested in. They will supervise visitors in the unlocked rooms and manage any overcrowding or handling of anxious cats. If adopter is interested in pursuing possible adoption, the Matchmaker will direct them to Adoption Counselors.
