About Opportunity
Cat and dog foster carers needed. Dogs are cared for in the volunteer's home, cats in the spare room, or in timber cat chalets in the garden, provided by the Blue Cross. Potential volunteers are asked to have experience of the species they wish to foster, and to not be in full time employment. We do not recruit carers who have children under five years old to foster in the house but there is the possibility for them using cat chalets. We are looking for proactive individuals who are computer literate, and have access to a digital camera. Pets are taken to the local vets, assessed buy the volunteer and advertised. potential adopters visit the pet in the volunteer's home. Foster carers should have access to a car t carry out home visits, and take the pet to the vets. Full training, equipment and support given.
