Volunteer,
all unpaid positions but rewarded with Cat PurrsJ
100%
of our Cats Protection's work is carried out by volunteers, most of whom have
full-time jobs.
Recruitment
Officer,
This
is a job for someone who loves meeting people, is enthusiastic about Cats Protection
and is willing to share this enthusiasm with new Volunteers. Training
Given.
Cat
Fosterer,
An
essential Role as all cats coming into care need somewhere to stay, if you can
offer feline bed and breakfast either in a spare room or would like a cat chalet
in your garden then please contact us.
We
need short term, long term, emergency fosterers as well as those willing to
spend time taming feral kittens or hand rearing orphans. Help and Support is given from our Welfare
and Homing Officers and lots of information is available to help you in these
tasks. Cat Care standards are high and your own cats if you have any would need
to be kept separate from the C.P Foster Cats. The branch pays all Vet costs and
provides Cat food and Litter. This is also for people who love meeting lots of
different people as well as lots of different FelinesJ
Feral
Officer
We
often get calls from people who have wild feral cats living in their garden,
allotment, stables, farms etc. A feral Officer would be responsible for co-ordinating
efforts to trap and transport to vets for neutering adult cats as well as trap
and assess kittens for homing or fostering.
Someone
of a brave nature who doesn’t mind dashing off at unsociable hours, to catch
totally ungrateful felines, who will object most strongly to this intrusion on
their regular prowl.
Transporter
No
not Dr Who’s Tardis but someone willing to give their time and vehicle over to
transporting cats, it may be a run to the vets, a collection of a stray, or
moving a cat from one home to another.
Home
Visitors,
Before
any of our cats are rehomed a home visit must be carried out. This ensures the
new home and owners are suitable for the chosen cat. If you are a good judge of
character and have a tactful nature, why not join us as a home-visitor. Full
Training Given.
Fund
Raisers,
Cats
Protection Branches are self-sufficient, relying solely on fund-raising.
Every
day we spend money on cats in our care, vet bills, food etc, soon mount up and
in order to continue our rescue work we need regular income.
If
you fancy doing a car boot a month or manning a market stall or maybe just
holding a coffee morning or murder evening. Whatever ideas you come up with we
will provide full CP support with Banners posters, and even some goods to sell.
Public
Relations
Fancy yourself as a news hound? We need
people who can write in a witty and informative style to help out with the
Branch promotion. If you have a PC or the use of one, then even better!
Media
Put
Cats Protection in the limelight!
We
need to publicise our good work in the local area as well as promote the cats
we have looking for Homes. So if you like talking to people or have contacts
with the local media - press, TV or radio - why not give it a go!
Food
Gatherer,
We
need someone willing to ask supermarkets, pet shops etc to have one of our food
collecting bins, this enables members of the public to buy cat food then
deposit it in the bin. The food gatherer would also need to co-ordinate
collection of food and delivery to Fosterers.
