Volunteer Events Assistant

Our vital rescue and rehoming services cost more than £500,000 a year to deliver, and to help fund this Wadars relies heavily on raising money through a range of events and community activities.  The Volunteer Events Assistant role supports the work of our Fundraising Manager with the organisation and running of these events, and would suit someone who is keen to work in the events or fundraising field and would like to gain valuable experience.

Cat Fosterer

We are currently recruiting a small number of volunteer fosterers who can provide a temporary home for more vulnerable cats who are either not settling into the cattery environment or older felines who need a little bit of additional TLC until they are ready to go to a new home. Wadars will provide everything that you need including food, bedding, bowls, litter, toys as well as any veterinary treatment or medication they may need whilst in your care. Our cattery team will also stay in touch to give advise and discuss how the cat is getting along. Ideally you will have a spare room or quiet space within your property where the cat could feel safe and secure and also have time during the day to spend interacting with them. If you would like to find out more about fostering a cat for Wadars then please do call us on 01903 247111.
