Our Foster Care team takes care of all our foster cats. They clean up after them, feed them, and interact with them. The team operates on a rota basis where each day's team comes weekly on the same day. They are highly committed, eager to learn, are initiated and have a deep level of empathy.
Foster Care vollies have to do a wide variety of tasks for the cats every week. These include:
- Clearing cat litter / washing cat litter boxes
- Cleaning the cattery
- Preparing supplements and food
- Clinical care tasks, such as injections and wound care
Availability is also a necessary trait; you will be volunteering every week, at night for Mondays to Saturdays and afternoons for Sundays. This is a high commitment, long-term portfolio.
Many of our Foster Care Volunteers joined us with absolutely no knowledge at all, but were able to come in week after week, showed initiative, learned eagerly and put their training to use. It is time-consuming, but they often say they have no regrets taking on this role in order to be in the front line of helping the neediest stray cats that Love Kuching cares for.
