Cat Chat has been helping to rehome cats for almost 10 years now, and the demand for our Charity's services has grown immensely in that time, and indeed, continues to grow. Cat Chat now finds homes for well over 5,000 rescued cats each year, and many rescues refer to us as their 'Rehoming Life-line'.

Our volunteers are a vital part of our operation. They give their valuable time, expertise and energy to help to make Cat Chat work, and thousands of ex-rescue cats are purring in their new homes as a result!

(Updated 16th March 2010)

LOCAL VOLUNTEERS (South East Kent)

CHARITY TRUSTEE - (1 vacant post - S. E. Kent only):
trustees for cat chat charityRequirements: Animal lover, with some spare time • A connection to the web • A willingness to take on some level of responsibility • Honest, Trustworthy and Reliable • Any relevant or useful skills a bonus!
Time Commitment: The Trustees meet once a month, however you would be expected to take an active role, and to be involved in additional tasks requiring work between times, to the benefit of the Charity.

We currently have one vacant post on our Trustee body. Ideal candidates would have experience in one or more of the following fields; business management, publicity and marketing, trading, I.T., web development, finance, general admin, fundraising, staff management, grant funding, animal welfare, although these are not exclusive requirements - if you feel you have other skills which may help the Charity, we would still love to hear from you. Trusteeship gives an opportunity to actively shape the future of the Charity. Experience in the Charitable sector would be helpful but is not essential. We are a small, friendly committee, and one of us will be happy to have an informal chat if you think you may be interested in joining us. We currently have no-one in the post of Charity Secretary. We would also be pleased to find someone willing to become involved in either Fundraising or Publicity. Please note: Trustees are unpaid, although out-of-pocket expenses will be met. As with all our volunteers, a volunteer application form will be required, and we do take up two references.
If you are an animal lover, have skills which you think would further the Charity's aims, have some spare time, and you live in South East Kent, please email us, including a land line phone number please, and someone will call you for an informal chat: cat chat general email
