                Urgent need for kitten carers

Picture
On Sunday 29th April another very young mother cat gave birth in the sanctuary. Herself still a kitten "teenager", she had been caught heavily pregnant that same week. She is now nursing five  babies, - four ginger babies of her own and a foster kitten. 
That takes our current kitten count up to over 20 again. Not very much compared to some kitten sanctuaries. but it brings us to breaking point. Neither the Sanctuary nor the hours volunteers are spending there are designed for kitten care. Kitten care needs a quiet, structured environment, expertise, full concentration and dedicated skill from the carer. It is not the same as feeding, cleaning for or caring for grown up, hardy and well socialised Sanctuary Cats. 
Kitten care can be taught and learnt (https://www.csafcatsanctuary.org/news) .
If you are in the Sanctuary during quiet times you can observe the kitten carers at their patient, gentle and responsible work. medicating the infected eyes of orphaned kittens, cleaning the cages of hostile, defensive mothers, sharing out the right food to mother and kittens at their various stages of development, checking temperature and for possible draughts in the cages, attempting to maintain a quiet and stress-free environment, monitoring each of the tiny, squirming and often vigorously protected babies. Csaf carers are of all sorts and ages: What they have in common is that they are calm, unphased, thorough (!!!) and reliable. Obviously they love Cats and enjoy learning to handle them.

If you are reliable, committed and prepared to join in three hands-on training sessions, you could become one of our invaluable helpers during the kitten season.
