Welcome to Cats Protection Northumbria Branch

Why volunteer with Cats Protection Northumbria?

Volunteers are the heart of Cats Protection Northumbria, and without them, we couldn’t continue our vital work. Volunteering is flexible, allowing you to give as much or as little time as suits your life. You’ll join a friendly team of like-minded people who share your passion for cats, gain valuable skills to boost your CV, and enjoy perks like discounts on pet insurance. Most importantly, you’ll make a real difference to the lives of cats in Northumbria.

What to expect as a volunteer

We provide training, cover expenses, and supply all necessary equipment for your role. Many roles involve working with other volunteers, and you’ll have the chance to start in one area and develop your expertise over time. Our group is friendly and supportive, with regular get-togethers, so you’ll never feel alone.

Please note, volunteers must be 18 or older, and since we don’t have facilities for keeping cats on-site, fostering happens in volunteers’ homes.
