Help save abandoned cats in Arun and other volunteering opportunities

Volunteers are being called upon by the Worthing Cat Welfare Trust to help care for some of the district’s most vulnerable cats, who have been abandoned and need the love and care of a family setting.

Potential applicants would be required to care for the animals on either a temporary or long-term basis, until a permanent home can be found. This might also entail prearranged visits to one of the charity’s approved veterinarians.

The trust is also looking for volunteers to help man its charity shop stores in the area as well as those wishing to assist co-ordinating the organisation’s regular fund-raising activities, too.
