Could you spend a few hours helping the GSPCA in the morning for a few hours, a full day or more?
The GSPCA is currently inundated with cats many of which can be seen if you -
We need to recruit volunteers 14 years and over to help for the 50+ cats and kittens in our care. There are many voluntary roles at the Shelter but the GSPCA is full to bursting with cats and the staff and current volunteers are asking for your help.
We are also looking for volunteers that can possibly help between the hours of 6pm and 8am and occassionally on a Sunday between 8am and 6pm to be on call as a volunteer warden. We have some amazing volunteers that help in this diverse role but we are looking for additional help.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We have some amazing volunteers at the Shelter but we are always looking for additional help for the team and more importantly the animals in our care.' 'We have so many cats and kittens at the moment and to clean them all out and care for them takes many hours of hard work.' 'The volunteer wardens we have are fantastic but we are looking to recruit additional help so that we can ensure we provide a 24 hour 7 day a week emergency call out service.' 'If you are interested in joining our team then please get in touch and we can welcome you into the team.'
If you are interested in helping in either of these roles then further details are below including an application form which are also available at te Shelter. If you have any questions please contact Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager on 257261 or email [email protected]
