Are you passionate about helping animals in our community? Would you like to do something meaningful with your free time? The RSPCA Cat Rehoming Hub needs people like you so that we can help the cats and kittens in our care
In conjunction with the RSPCA Cat Hub Rehoming Coordinator and liaising with our social media team, we would like you to work with a range of social media platforms to raise awareness and funds through special appeals relating to the cats and kittens in our care.
We would like you to take the lead on designing and creating the content for those appeals ready for our social media team to post.
Fundraising is how we generate income which is then used to support the veterinary care and welfare of cats and kittens placed with us whilst they are waiting for their new forever homes. So, this is a crucial role to help us achieve our goals.
We are looking for someone who loves cats and who has experience of working with platforms such as Crowdfunder, Just Giving, Easy Fundraising, Donr and promoting the One Lottery.
We want someone who is creative, a good communicator and team player to become part of our community and work towards a common goal of caring for and rehoming cats and kittens in our care.
The RSPCA Cat Rehoming Hub is a unique project funded by the four local RSPCA Branches of North Tees, South Tees, Northallerton and Darlington and District areas. The cat hub was formed in April 2018 and has rehomed over 1520 cats and kittens since that date. All cats and kittens received into the care of the cat hub are placed in foster homes until they are lucky enough to find their forever homes.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity and our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. Cats are at the centre of everything we do and our objectives are: homing, neutering and educating people about cats and their care. We help thousands of cats across the UK each year thanks to our network of dedicated volunteers, staff and supporters.
A bit about this role
If you enjoy driving and would love to use those skills to help our cats, this could be the role for you. Our transport volunteers provide vital assistance to our teams and volunteer groups in the local area by transporting equipment, litter, food– and even cats! They have the essential role of connecting our network of volunteers, sites, vets and supporters.
Without the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection, we wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help.
What can you expect to be doing?
- Arranging and transporting equipment, litter and cat food
- Transporting cats to and from vets, foster homes and centres
- Transporting equipment to and from events
A bit more information about this role and the team
The branch vehicle is used within this role, so any applicants need to hold a current driving licence.
What are the benefits to you and the cats?
You will develop new skills, expand your knowledge and make a significant contribution to improving the lives of cats and kittens by providing transport assistance to local volunteer groups and teams. You will meet new people, make new friends and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers.
We’re looking for someone with
- Good organisation and time management skills
- Knowledge of the local community
- A current driver’s licence
- Either access to a vehicle or happy to drive a Cats Protection van (subject to availabilty)
- The ability to carry out some heavy lifting
Time expectation
Our transport volunteers usually spend two to four hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
Support, guidance and keeping you safe
At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
