Cats Protection Brighton & Hove is one of over 200 branches across the UK that are run entirely by volunteers from their homes. Our branches take in cats in need and ensure they receive the veterinary care and attention required to get them ready for adoption. Branches also help raise funds to directly help cats in their care, facilitate the neutering of thousands of cats every year, support cat owners and help spread cat welfare messages.
As a branch volunteer you’ll develop new skills, make new friends, and help improve the lives of cats and kittens in your local community.
What does the opportunity involve doing?
The difference you will make to cats and people
From elderly moggies to energic kittens, every day across the UK cats and kittens are in need of a temporary place to stay, and lots of love and TLC! We need more fosterers like you to provide a safe, temporary haven for cats and kittens and provide them with everything they need before they get their chance to land on their four paws and make a house a home.
