Volunteer with us at Cats Protection!

Cats Protection helps around 200,000 cats and kittens every year but we would not be able to make such as difference without the dedication of our volunteers.

We’re lucky to have over 10,000 volunteers across cats Protection, contributing their time and skills across every aspect of the organisation.  From rehoming cats and looking after them in our centres and branches, to fundraising in our charity shops and supporting with a breadth of activities across the organisation.

There are a huge range of volunteering opportunities that will really help us have a positive impact on cat welfare whilst also offering the opportunity to apply and develop your skills throughout your career.

We have a range of volunteering roles that mean you can apply the skills you have already in a charity context for the benefit of cats.  If you are looking to develop your career, there are a range of roles that will enable you to develop your skills with practical experience.

We have roles in our;

  • Shops
  • Centres and branches
  • Fostering, including Lifeline fostering opportunities
  • Neutering, including trap, neuter, vaccination and release of feral cats
  • Fundraising

No matter what role you choose to do, we will make sure you get all the training and equipment you need to maximise the use of your generously donated time.  We also have a range of online courses you can take, covering topics on cat welfare as well as more role specific learning, to help you develop and apply your knowledge and skills.
