VOLUNTEERING AT THE SANCTUARY
We are always looking for volunteers to help out on both weekdays and weekends.
Volunteering with us would mean getting involved in sanctuary life and play an important part of looking after the cats in our care. There would be a range of tasks including cleaning of the cat pens (including litter trays), feeding and cuddling the cats and general day to day jobs.
Volunteering at the sanctuary during the week would be on a more adhoc basis, but we are able to offer more shifts over a weekend. Our shifts are split into mornings 9am – 11am and afternoons 2pm-4pm.
If you would like to volunteer, get in touch today!

YOUR HELP CAN CHANGE A CAT’S LIFE
Every hour a volunteer spends cleaning, feeding, or helping at events directly impacts the lives of the cats in our care. These small acts of kindness help scared, abandoned, or injured cats feel safe, loved and ready for a new home.
Volunteers are the backbone of our charity. Without them, we simply couldn’t continue. Their time, compassion, and dedication keeps our sanctuary open, our cats healthy and safe, and allows us to continue with our vital work. Read our charity aims here.
By volunteering, you’re not just changing the lives of cats — you’re helping ensure this charity can keep going and growing for years to come.
