On dropping Bella at Yorkshire Cat Rescue today, I was proud to be asked if I wanted to 'join the team' as an on-call trapper/transporter for them. Wow, big honor. I jumped at the chance and said of course I would. This means I am on their books as one of a list of people who they can call on when a cat needs trapping, or transporting to/from the vets. These guys do great work, as I shave said before and it will be awesome to be involved.
I also asked about volunteering at the center, just to help out with odd-jobs and again they said they'd be pleased to have me.
Sam also showed me round the new pens (cheers, Sam!), which I didn't see properly the last visit and they are amazing. Airy, light, with under-floor heating they are just right for mums with kittens or nervous cats. The oder pens mean the cats can see each other and for nervous/timid cats this can be a problem. In the newer pens the sides protect the cats from seeing each other and they can always 'hear' staff approaching so are not surprised when someone appears outside their pens.
I can see me spending a good few days there over the coming months and years :+}
