You can help SAFE in many ways – and there is something for everyone on the list below. We have plenty of ideas but we need more people to organise and implement them.
If you able to spend time at SAFE Haven on a regular basis – once or ideally more days a week to answer the phone/texts/emails and help out with administrative tasks associated with cat care, intake and adoptions. You will be someone with lots of common sense who can multi-task , have basic IT skills and lots of experience dealing with the public. You will have have experience with cats &/or a general love of animals, some general awareness of cat issues and an open minded, sensitive, team approach. We have documented processes in place for you to follow and you will receive supportive training. This role might suit a school mum who can offer 3 hours after drop-off, an early retiree or someone over 55 receiving Centrelink payments (SAFE is an authorised partner)
If you are not able to commit to spending time at SAFE Haven there are lots of other ways you can help either by popping in now and then performing simple transport tasks as needed or working remotely to organise others.
You could
- Help to organise and implement fundraising and marketing tasks such as running an event, helping out at events , or acting as a food collection point during food appeals
- Pick up a bag of dirty washing on a weekly/fortnightly basis from SAFE Haven in Roseville, wash, dry and then drop back. The washing mainly consists of small towels as we throw away soiled items. We also need someone to organise this on a roster.
- Take cats to the vet for health checks or desexing. Typically you will do a morning run to the vet and an afternoon run to collect them. If you can help to organise a list of people and their availability this will help our manager
- Collect cat litter from our manufacturer in Blacktown every couple of weeks and transport to SAFE Haven in Roseville. If you can help to organise a list of available people and a roster this will help our manager
- Research animal loving celebrities and organise and run an email campaign to recruit an ambassador to further our cause. Perhaps you have someone in your circle of friends who is a local celeb who would work with us in this capacity
- Print SAFE animal profiles & display in public places or post in letter boxes in your neighbourhood. (Profiles are easy to print from our website)
If you have ideas and the experience to implement them- If you have the skills and time to make a difference Let us know!
