Volunteer Cat Cuddlers

At Eau Brink Rehoming Centre

Our Rehoming Centre wouldn’t be the success it is without the help of our dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom have been with us for years. Our volunteers give their time freely, for the benefit of the animals in our care. We are currently recruiting for new cat cuddlers.

Most people know about our dog walking volunteers but fewer people know that we also have a small team of people who come to the Centre regularly to ensure that our cats get some individual attention too. Our cat cuddlers spend time sitting in the heated pens with the cats, talking to them, grooming those that need it, and playing with the livelier ones. Although cats are quite independent creatures, most enjoy a quiet lap to sit on and some fuss. Our volunteers are invaluable when we have nervous or convalescing cats, as they provide a reassuring presence just by ‘being there’. It is important that our cat cuddlers are aware of each individual cat’s requirements and can tailor their attention appropriately – what is right for one could be overwhelming for another.

‘Cuddling time’ is between 11am and 2pm every day of the week and our volunteers tend to stay for a couple of hours each time they come. We have plenty of toys and grooming equipment available for our volunteers to use.

You will need to be over 18 years old to volunteer, please complete a volunteering form (see below) and advise us when you are able to come – we will endeavour to accommodate your availability where possible. We will then arrange a date for you to attend for an induction with one of our cattery staff, so you are fully prepared before you start!

Volunteering is extremely rewarding for a number of reasons and we have a lovely family atmosphere within the Centre. All our volunteers have a great love for the animals in our care and gain huge satisfaction from the part they play in every successful adoption. If you would like to join our team, please get in touch.

Shop Volunteers

As an independent branch of the RSPCA, every single penny we spend must be raised by us – which makes our charity shops in King’s Lynn and Hunstanton absolutely vital to our continued work.

In 2024 alone, we found loving new homes for more than 500 animals, and our veterinary costs exceeded £90,000.

Both of our shops are run entirely by dedicated teams of brilliant volunteers. If you would like to join our cheerful and committed group, we’d be delighted to welcome you on board. Please complete the online form below.

Please note, we do ask that any shop volunteers are able to work un-supervised after training.
