Volunteering

Westgate Ark needs Volunteers!

Westgate Ark are are seeking reliable volunteers to help care for our rescued cats, introduce potential homers to them, and help with the running of the rescue centre.

This is a responsible role and we would expect someone to commit to a day or at least a half day a week on a regular basis. Training will be given.

We would like volunteers to commit a regular day of the week, and then to work alongside the carer in charge on that day.

If you are interested in becoming a regular volunteer then please apply by email to admin@westgateark.org.uk.

Please state the day which you might be able to attend regularly.

Westgate Ark Welcomes Cat Cuddlers

Less onerous than becoming a regular volunteer, but still extremely invauable to our cats here, is to become a Cat Cuddler, which can be done on irregular visits.

Cat Cuddling may be done at any time between 11 and 4 p.m., both weekdays and weekends. Literally just get in touch with us, arrange your first few visits to receive some instruction and then, you are welcome to just come by and give the cats ttention and cuddles!

Cat Cuddling is so important to help our cats feel loved and less stressed. A happy get will be more relaxed and wil get homed quicker! We all like a few friends in a harsh and often scary world and cats are no different.

Often the main Volunteer who is responsible for cleaning, feeding, vet appointments, health care needs, homing, admissions, dealing with visitors, record keeping, communications, organising supplies, social media, etc, does not have sufficient time for for 1-1 quality time with the cats. This is where cat cuddlers make a huge improvement to the quality of life of our rescued cats!
