The only catch is if, for some reason, you don't jive with other volunteers or people you're helping. You seem like a pretty friendly person here, so I bet any person you help with their look will be appreciative and thankful, even if they're not too concerned with their treatments' side effects.
My examples: The best so far has been park maintenance; it's manual labor just like at the end of Office Space, and it maintains and updates the community's parks.
Least favorite was at a computer recycling non-profit. Even though I'm way the hell into computers, apparently the stereotypes of self-indulged computer dicks exist, and there was always one telling me I had no idea what I was doing. But they were wrong, their knowledge was limited in comparison and had no idea what their advice was based on. Very surprising
Let us know how yours turns out

I was a tech for a veterinary internal med specialist a while back. I ended up bringing 3 animals home. Two are deceased now but basically, I can't chance a stockpile of 4-leggeds any longer!
I actually do some behind-the-scenes work with one foster organization though. I assist with site maintenance and the administering of vaccinations when they're tight on help. They know to keep me last on the list though - I don't separate from animals I've bonded with well lol.
