Fundraisers

If you enjoy meeting people, helping organise
events and have some time to spare,
 we desparately need help with fundraising.
As a branch we all seem to do work with cats,
but are not very good at fundraising.
We need imaginative people with some good ideas and a little time to impliment them.
If you would like to get involved then 

please contact us.
Fosterers

Do you have a vacant spare room that could provide shelter for a homeless cat until we can find them a new one.

We are also looking for people who perhaps don't have any pets of their own, some of our harder to home, long stay or timid cats could do with a place to stay while they getting ready to be homed.
So if you cannot have a cat on a permanent basis, but would like the companionship for what time you are available.

We do have a few outdoor pens available for a dedicated person, who is interested in fostering.

Please email us for more details.

Phone Operators

We are in need of Phone Operators at present.
 Monday to Friday 9am - 1pm
We deal with people offering homes, reporting lost and found cats, offering help, requests to help rehome cats and general inquiries.
If you have a good telephone manner, patient and are able to be at home during the day (except for picking the kids up from school etc.)
If you would like to get involved then 
please contact us.
Home Visitors

Can you spare half an hour a
week?

 Home visits involve going to visit potential new owners to establish what sort of cat would fit in with their lifestyle.
All training is provided.
 Why not get a friend involved and do the home visits together.
All home requests through Cats Protection have to be visited, so without our home visitors we can't home any cats - thats how vital you are!!!
So please help our cats find new homes.
Feral Assistant
(Feral = Wild)

Our Feral officer could do with a little help with looking after feral cats overnight and getting them to the vets for check ups and neutering.
This work could also involve trapping cats or kittens which are too timid to be approached or handled. Sometimes they are brought into our care to be socialised, homed as farm cats or they are neutered and returned to site.
If you are interested in the welfare of all cats and want to get involved then please contact us.
Handy Man
We are in need of maintenance on our cat pens.
We also need help with manual work, such as laying slabs for new pens and a qualified electrician for wiring up lights and heating in the pens.

Can you help us out?
Please.
Drivers

Do you own a vehicle?
When a cat is reported to us sometimes they need to be picked up and taken to the vets, delivered to a fosterer or have their photo taken for our website.
 If you can offer one hour each week,
then please contact us.
