My role comprises of cleaning
the pens, ensuring that the cats have clean water and the cleaning of
equipment. When all the necessary tasks are completed, I have my 'special time'
with the cats, providing them with affection and encouraging them to play. This
activity, whilst being pleasant for both myself and the cats, helps the cats to
become more sociable and accustomed to human contact. In order to gain
increased knowledge, I also spend time in the admissions area, where the cats
which have been brought in needing care and homing, are processed. As a
volunteer, I cannot participate in this procedure, but I find all aspects of
the work of the Cats Protection centre, to be interesting and informative.
My time spent at the centre is always enjoyable and brings
a variety of situations and events that require prompt action. Knowing that
cats who were once in poor condition and in dire need of food, shelter and
veterinary assistance, have finally found a loving home, is the best possible
outcome and a truly rewarding experience. The staff and other volunteers have
made me welcome, our little team works well together and we are all of one
mind, the welfare and adoption is always our top priority.
The Cats Protection centre fundraises regularly throughout
the year and I participate in these events and am frequently delighted when
significant amounts of money are raised. The centre also hosts Fun Days which
incorporate a theme, for example, Black Cat Day. Incidentally, when black cats
become available for adoption, they can often be the least popular. Open days
such as a black cat day promotes their homing suitability during a pleasant fun
day proves advantageous to the black cats and provides a great day for staff,
volunteers and visitors.
