Volunteer With The Foundation

Local Volunteer

 

We are always looking for help taking care of the cats and kittens in our care during the week between 9 am - 11 am and 5 pm - 7 pm.  We have a number of cats that are with wonderful fosters on the island.  However most stay at the foundation until they are adopted or healthy enough to fly to their forever homes.  We are always looking for help with feeding the cats, cleaning their cages, providing them with medicine and of course playing with them and giving them cuddles.


If you would like to help us even one day a week, we would certainly appreciate it.  


If you are coming to Aruba for vacation and would like to spend a few hours of your time volunteering, we welcome you as well.


If you are interested in Volunteering at the foundation, you can use the form below to contact us.

Volunteer as a Transporter

Transporter (Flight Angel)

 

We first try to find homes for the animals in our care in Aruba.  However, many of our adoptions are to forever homes in the US.  Animals cannot fly on a commercial airline alone, they need to be accompanied by a human.  The responsibility of a transporter (or Flight Angel as we like to call them) is simply to be that person accompanying the animal to their forever home.  If you have ever flown with your own pets, it is a very similar process.  There is NO financial obligation to you as a transporter.


As a transporter we ask that you:

  • Arrive at the airport at the predetermined time to allow ample time for the check-in, immigration and customs process at the Aruba airport.
  • Comply with all airline regulations as they are presented to you.


Once you volunteer as a Nine Lives Aruba Transporter we will:

  • Pay for all expenses relating to the transport of the animal.
  • Be at the airport with the animal at the predetermined time.
  • Ensure the animal has all necessary vaccinations, health certificates and is clean and ready for travel.
  • Provide an airline approved carrier and all other accessories necessary for travel.
  • Assist you through the check-in process as needed.


Some helpful information:

  • Puppies, kittens and cats under 20 pounds (including the weight of the carrier) travel in cabin with you as a carry on.
  • Transport of Adult cargo dogs has been suspended by American Airlines since Covid began.
  • Southwest does NOT allow transport of any kind of pets from Aruba. Although United & Delta do, we prefer to use only Jetblue and American Airlines.
  • For adult dog transport the airline requires that the temperature be below 85 degrees. This will be verified by the airline during the check in process.


If you would like to be a flight angel please contact us using the form at the bottom of the page before you arrive in Aruba (or at least 5 days before you depart Aruba) and provide us with the following information:

  • your travel dates and times
  • your final destination airport including any layover information
  • the airline that you are flying
  • how many are flying in your group
