Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
As a trap, neuter and return (TNR) lead volunteer you will make a vital contribution to maintaining a healthy population of feral and community cats and will help alleviate cat welfare and community problems caused by uncontrolled cat populations. You will lead a team of TNR volunteers in your local area, who in turn will help reduce the number of unwanted cats.
What we need from you
You’ll be:
· Supporting and managing a team of TNR volunteers
· Promoting and encouraging appropriate training for TNR volunteers
· Delegating activities to TNR volunteers
· Supporting TNR volunteers to comply with Cats Protection policies and guidelines
· Engaging with local communities, local businesses, landowners and farmers to promote the neutering of cats in their locality
· Engaging with vets to promote and arrange neutering
· Liaising with other members of the Cats Protection local team
· Making sure the trapping equipment is working properly
· Optional bullet point for extra information – please delete if not required
Time expectation
This is a flexible role and the hours will vary depending on the number of cats identified for specific TNR campaigns. Our current TNR lead volunteers spend about 10 hours per week in this role which can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!
