    Description

    We are looking for reliable and independent volunteers who can take care of our shelter whenever Conny is staying at our second shelter in Trincomalee.

    You will never be left on your own without preparation. Before taking on this responsibility, you will receive thorough training so that you feel confident with all daily routines and know exactly how to care for every animal.
    There will always be 3–4 volunteers at the shelter, so you will be working as a team. Conny will also always be available by phone if you have any questions or need support.
    Because of this role, volunteers take on a little more responsibility than at a typical Workaway.

    Some of our animals have special needs, and your daily tasks may include:
    Giving medication.
    Expressing the bladders of our 5 disabled cats, who need this care several times a day.
    Monitoring the health and well-being of the animals and keeping us informed if anything changes.
    Our shelter is home to 5 dogs (including one very old senior dog) and 17 cats. Five of our cats are disabled and require extra love, patience, and special care.

    Accommodation
    Private bedroom.
    Shared bathroom, kitchen, and living room.
    Breakfast is included and consists of bread, eggs, seasonal fruit, water, coffee, tea, butter, and jam.
    One scooter is available to rent if you would like to explore the area during your free time.
    We are looking for kind, responsible, and committed people who are happy to take on a little extra responsibility in exchange for a truly rewarding experience. If you love animals, are willing to learn, and want to make a real difference, we would love to welcome you to our shelter.

    Important Information: it is highly recommended to have a scooter driving license and be willing to rent a scooter or share one with other volunteers.

    Hébergement

    Balapitiya: My house (a small, private shelter) has 3 volunteer rooms. Volunteers live together with me, 5 dogs, and 17 cats. The area is peaceful and less touristic. The beach is reachable within a 10-minute walk. There is one surf school nearby, and we are close to the turtle rescue center. The cats live with us inside the house, and the dogs mostly stay outside. Please do not expect a hotel – it is a local house with many pets.
