A CHARITY has launched an appeal to help cats get back on their paws.

The Cat Protection's East Lancashire branch has asked cat-lovers with spare time to volunteer with the charity.

The branch is currently seeking a coordinator, secretary, treasurer, homing team leader, welfare team leader, fundraising team leader, lost and found, enquiries, neutering team leader and administration volunteers.

Helena Brailsford, area branch development manager said: "Volunteering for Cats Protection is a fun and rewarding experience, particularly if you have a skill that would benefit the charity or would like to develop new skills by taking on a fresh challenge.

"Our volunteers gain a great deal of satisfaction helping cats get a second chance in life.

"We work hard to match people’s skills, interests and time availability to the roles on offer so if you have something to contribute, please get in touch."

Anyone interested in the volunteer roles should email bsusne@cats.org.uk or call 01825 741 995 for more information.
