You know Kazz, my sister and I contacted them to volunteer and were passed onto our local branch (after some questions e.t.c) and they never ever got back to us, I rang a couple of times to be told they'd have a look and ring back and they never did. Perhaps nothing for us to do as I can't drive and can't foster either...

I am sure you could help in other way Random....... Pity they did not get back to you....
They asked me to foster....

I'd love to foster if I could Moli, I said I was happy to do whatever, inc. cleaning out pens, help in socialising feral/semi ferals as i'm very confident with cats (obviously!) and am not put off with hissy spitty, I said I didn't mind getting buses or trains to wherever (at my own expense of course), they did ask all sorts at the main branch and said they noted it all down but when they passed it onto our branch, nothing from them. Ho hum, I did try, perhaps when I do finally pass my test I could help with transportation.

I was quite excited at being a 'lion tamer' or a 'cat cuddler' as they put it!

I have often thought of getting involved but the Aberdeen branch is sooo up it's own backside, they'd much rather bitch and backstab amongst themselves as well as it being a case of "if your face fits". Personally I find that kinda stuff dispicable, it should be about the animals and not about whether you like this person or not. There are many people i dont much care for but I cannt fault them on how they look after their animals.
Sorry for the rant but it makes me mad.

kazz: I am already an volunteer.

random: it seems strange. Was yours a branch or one with an adoption centre? If it was a branch, then I am sure that you could have helped, for example in their shop (if they had one) or on the fundraising side. Usually with volunteer run branches (ones without an adoption centre) the people who are running them have full time jobs, so it is possible that they could have forgotten. But saying that, the branches do vary. Our adoption centre's covers half of an another branch (no shelter). Half the time, we have to pass information onto them, as people are generally unaware that they exist! Plus unlike the other 5 branches we share our territory with (only 1 other adoption centre) that particular one won't do any home visits for us, even though in a lot of cases, they are closer.
