Field Care Volunteer — feeding rounds & colonies
You are out in the field, making sure that care does not depend on chance.
What you actually do
- Take on or accompany trips to the feeding colonies
- Provide the animals with dry food and fresh water
- Notice anything unusual and report it briefly (injured, new, pregnant)
- Document your round simply: where, when, what you noticed
Why this helps Margo & the animals
Every round you take on is a round Margo does not have to drive herself – in the heat, in the rain, every day. Your small observations can flag problems early. Regularity matters more here than heroics.
What you take away personally
You are outdoors, you see immediately what you are helping with – waiting cats, filled bowls – and you get to know places you would otherwise never see. Fieldwork with a direct result.
What you learn professionally
- Round logic and route planning
- Simple assignment documentation
- Fieldwork and observation in animal welfare
Who this suits
People in the region with some time, happy to be outdoors, reliable – a driving licence helps but is not required (you can ride along).
What this role is not
Do not take animals away on your own · do not share exact colony locations publicly · no medical decisions · no independent rehoming.
Your first small mission
Come along on a feeding round as a passenger, get to know two stations and then write three sentences: what did you see, what stood out, what would you bring next time?
