Cat Fosterer

Opportunity image

RSPCA East Norfolk are looking for cat fosterers in the Great Yarmouth/ Gorleston Area /Hopton areas to join the branch. Our volunteer Fosterers care for the cat/s in their own homes, receiving the care and attention they desperately need.

Fostering for RSPCA East Norfolk Branch comes at no financial cost to the fosterer, you would be supported by the team throughout the placement.

This role is much needed for the animal’s welfare.

We are looking for both long term fosters of 4 months or more and short-term foster placements of 1 week to 4 weeks.

We have seen that having a cat/s in a home environment not only helps the animal but brings a lot of joy to our fosterers as well. It is a hugely rewarding role to know that they come to you unwanted and leave you wanted. By doing this rewarding role you're helping not just an animal but our branch as well.

Fostering is only made possible because of our amazing volunteers who provide a home environment for the cats while in their care.

We’re looking for someone with:

● Basic knowledge of cats and cat care

● An appreciation of cat hygiene standards

● Good interpersonal skills

● Patience, perseverance, and empathy

● Willingness to be part of a team
