Description
The Cats Whiskers is a small local charity set up in 2018 and has since gone from strength to strength, leading to the opening of the new rehoming shelter in late 2022. Their charity relies on the support of their many volunteers who freely give their time and talents. The group operate based solely on fundraising, donations and volunteers to continue to look after the cats in their care and always need dedicated, reliable volunteers that can help out and of course, new volunteers are always welcome. They are a passionate team who want the best for their feline friends and nothing gives them more pleasure than to see them happy in their ‘forever’ homes.
They need volunteers to support the shop's operations. They will be serving the public, maintaining stock on shop floor, sorting donations handed into us at shop, keeping shop clean and neat at all times,
The team do an induction at the shop with every volunteer, find suitable buddy for them, show how to sort donations ie separate, store and trash. They, if needed, will also be taught to operate the till.
The shop is open from 11-3pm Tuesday to Saturday.
Able to work with other people, Pleasant, friendly and confident attitude would be advantageous for serving the public and being first point of contact for the charity.
Due to handling money and serving public we would ask for the volunteers to be over 18. Due to size of premises at the moment we can’t take someone in a wheelchair.
Organisation aims and objectives
We are a group of cat loving volunteers doing our best to raise funds as a small, local, independent charity: we believe every cat deserves a safe and loving home and our aim is to try to make that happen in the Clackmannanshire area.
