Why Volunteer With Us?
Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance is one of the only organizations in the country dedicated solely to neonatal and medically fragile kitten rescue. Most of the animals we save are newborn, orphaned, or severely ill — and without our care, they likely wouldn’t survive. When you volunteer with us, you’re helping provide these tiny lives with the second chance they deserve. We welcome volunteers from Asheville, Buncombe County, across Western North Carolina, and beyond — no prior experience needed.
No Experience? No Problem!
All volunteers receive training, and our team is here to guide and support you every step of the way. Whether you're looking to log service hours, meet new friends, or simply give back to your community, you’ll be making a real difference for kittens who have no one else.
