At Felledge we care for animals that have been rescued from cruelty or neglect, and rehabilitate and prepare them for a new life with caring and loving adopters.</p><p>Our cattery can house more than 60 cats at a time with comfy sleeping areas, toys and scratching posts to keep them occupied until they go to a new home. Many require gentle and careful handling at first as they recover from previous trauma and mistreatment until they realise they are safe.</p><p>Our state of the art kennels have been designed to cater specifically for cruelty case dogs that have to stay with us for extended periods, sometimes up to a year, while the court cases are ongoing. With over 40 dogs always on site, walking, socialising and training takes up most of the day to keep them happy and healthy before they start the next chapter of their lives.&nbsp;</p><p>Working hours: 35 hours per week. 08:30 to 16:30 on a 2 week rolling rota to include alternate weekends&nbsp;with a weekday off either side of the weekend worked.</p><p><em><strong>Please note that a drivers license/vehicle access is highly desirable due to the lack of public transport to our Felledge site.&nbsp;</strong></em></p><p>To see more about life at the centre, you can visit our social media pages:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/rspcafelledge/?locale=itIT">RSPCA Felledge Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rspca.felledge/reels/">RSPCA Felledge Instagram</a></p><p>&nbsp;Are you ready to be part of our journey and make a difference?</p></div></div><div class="earcuposdescription">&nbsp;</div>
