Cats Protection volunteer fosterers provide a stable, safe and loving environment in their own homes. You will provide vital hands on care and accommodation to stray, abandoned cats or cats whose owners could sadly no longer keep them. You will be part of a dedicated team of volunteers committed to finding new homes for cats in need.
You will be meeting the needs of cats and kittens in your care, maintaining minimum veterinary and cat care standards, cleaning and looking after the cats environment and equipment, feeding, grooming and administering flea and worming treatments, spending time enriching the cats experience including play, exercise and stroking.
Basic knowledge of cats, cat care and understanding of their needs.
An appreciation of cat welfare and hygiene standards.
Good interpersonal skills.
Patience, commitment and empathy.
Willingness to be part of a team.
A spare room in your house or a space in your garden for a pen.
Our volunteer fosterers usually spend 1 to 3 hours per day in this role, but this might vary depending on the number of cats or kittens in care.
