Cats Protection is the UK's largest cat welfare charity
We share our lives with cats. They bring happiness to millions of us every day. Yet too many cats don’t get the care and kindness they deserve.
At Cats Protection we stand up for every cat.
At the forefront of research on cat welfare we use our decades of experience to help all cats and support owners to keep their pets happy and healthy.
Our campaigns change laws to give cats more protection and we continue to call for a better deal for cats.
In every corner of the country our passionate volunteers, employees and supporters are using their kindness and expertise to make life better for millions of cats and the people who care for them.
What does the opportunity involve doing?
Our Cat welfare team leaders have the important role of coordinating, encouraging and supporting teams of fosterer volunteers and cat care volunteers. They help make sure volunteers with direct cat care roles are happy and confident and provide advice and guidance when needed. This incredible teamwork means we are able to help more cats and kittens in need.
