Under adult supervision, younger volunteers are encouraged to play with cats who are interested in our toy selections.<\/p>\n<p>We will also offer training for grooming both long-hair and short-hair cats. Regular grooming helps to keep claws slightly duller and hairballs under control.<img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Grady-3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volunteering at the Chapple Hill Cat Sanctuary can be a fun and rewarding experience.\u00a0 We are working to socialize cats that are not always happy to be near humans.\u00a0 We have had quite a few success stories with previously feral cats becoming domesticated and happy to be near humans.\u00a0 There is nothing like the feeling &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/?page_id=57\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Volunteering<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":17,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60,"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions\/60"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanctuary4cats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
