Cats and kittens in our care come from various backgrounds - some are friendly and healthy, while others are stray, abandoned or neglected. Most range in age from four to 10 weeks, though we take in felines of all ages.
As a Cat & Kitten Courier, you’ll play a crucial role in the rescue and rehoming process by safely transporting cats and kittens in Hurunui to our volunteers in Amberley and Rangiora. In some cases, you may also act as a temporary drop-off point, holding cats or kittens for up to 48 hours (e.g. if dropped off on a weekend). Cat Care will provide carriers for transportation and a crate for safe and comfortable short-term housing, if required.
These trips help connect rescued felines with veterinary care, foster homes and adoption opportunities.
Your primary responsibilities will include: - Safely driving rescued felines from locations across Hurunui to Amberley and Rangiora - Making sure carriers are secure and that cats are calm and safe during travel - Communicating about pick-up and drop-off times, locations and any special needs of the animals in your care.
Flexible. While summer - kitten season - is our busiest time of the year, transport needs are often ad-hoc and can vary from several times a month to occasional urgent requests. We will contact you as and when the need arises.
