The volunteers day begins around 8 a.m. when the cats are fed. They get through 24 cans of food and 4 packets of crunchies for breakfast. After breakfast, all the litter trays are replaced with clean ones. The old litter trays are emptied and disinfected before being refilled and stacked ready for use the next day. Every, pen, run and shed is cleaned and disinfected to prevent spread of any germs.
Some cats are very clean and very co-operative at cleaning time.
Sick cats are given their medication and cats are taken to the vet for neutering. Throughout the morning we have visitors looking for new cats or bringing in cats. We accept cats on a waiting list basis, except in dire emergencies. We use around 50 cans of food daily, plus a variety of prescription foods. I haven't even calculated how many sacks of cat litter are used - we use recycled product litter e.g. that made from waste paper or wood pulp.
