Duties include: socializing and comforting the cats; transporting cats to offsite locations; providing for the cats safety at all times during the transport; using the correct transport carriers and equipment; monitoring behavior of cats before transporting; and ensuring the paperwork of each cat is correct and also transported to the offsite location. Feline Transport Team Members must have their own insured vehicle and a valid Washington driver's license.
