I am about to start volunteering my services to my local branch of cats protection league all the details have came in the post today i have told them i would be willing to help out at the shelter a few hours a week and would love to foster but after reading the forms today i'm not so sure as they have lots of rules is there anybody here who has helped out in the same way and if so what advice could you give me
i did some volunteer work at our local shelter, but it got to be too much for me. i was coming home and crying myself to sleep at night over the ones that didnt find homes. i had considered fostering ,but i wouldnt be able to give them up when the time comes. i have two cats that i am fostering now, but only because the neighbor passed away and the family was going to drop them off at the shelter.if you know anyone interested here is their pic
i was worried at first how they would get along with my cat, but they do fine. and my gsd just licks them like they were his own kids. i just couldnt let them go to the shelter, so if i cant find them a home i guess i will just have three cats ! lol
i have also thought about helping out at the shelters but my house would be full by the end of the week with cats... im a sucker when it comes to animals that need re-homing and i get way over emotional with the abused animals ..
To be honest i dont know how i will cope leaving all those cats and kitens in a cold shelter while i come home to a lovely warm house but as long as i can give them all abit of tlc and make sure they are fed and watered then im sure i will feel a bit better.
I will keep you all posted on things im going to phone them back on monday and finalise all the details etc.
As much as I would like to help at the shelters, I can not do it. I would be a wreck all the time. I cry too much looking at them. I help at our pet supply, they have rescues there. Yesterday, for the first time watching a couple drive away with the last of one litter, I left saddness happiness and got teary eyed. Hoping for the best for that pup. Usually I am full of happiness seeing them go.
