Cats Protection’s Strathspey branch needs to recruit an important volunteer due to a forthcoming retirement.
The role of adoption team leader (ATL) involves helping place unwanted and abandoned cats with loving new owners.
The branch, which is run entirely by volunteers, needs someone who can spare some time to oversee the homing of cats.
Peter Norgate, branch coordinator, said: "The ATL is a vital role, providing the first port of call for people wishing to adopt a cat and ensuring the right cat goes to the right home.
“The branch does a huge amount of work to help local cats, but we really need someone to volunteer as our adoption team leader to oversee rehoming of even more cats.
“They don’t have to have any previous administrative experience, as the charity can provide assistance and support materials, but we do need someone who cares about cats and has bags of enthusiasm.
“The role is a voluntary one and it can make a huge difference to needy cats. We are sure whoever takes on the role will find it incredibly rewarding.
"It’s also a great way to make new friends – both human and feline!”
Cats Protection is the UK’s leading cat charity and the Strathspey branch is part of a nationwide network of around 230 volunteer-run branches and 37 centres that together help around 200,000 cats and kittens each year.
As well as finding new homes for unwanted and abandoned cats, the charity also offers cat care advice to the public and can help towards the cost of neutering.
