RSPCA charity celebrates volunteers for helping animals
RSPCA Cymru is shining a spotlight on its volunteers as part of Volunteers' Week, which runs from June 2 to 8.
Volunteers play a crucial role in rescuing and transporting animals, fostering pets, and supporting the organisation's activities.
Jo, a foster carer from Newport, said: "They have all had their own unique personalities and funny quirks.
"Often they come from multi-cat households and are lacking a little in socialisation.
"They may be scared of you and it's your job to help them realise that not all humans are bad."
RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Danni Wilson has fostered four dogs and 10 cats over the past four years.
Ms Wilson said: "Myself and my partner absolutely love fostering.
"It is so rewarding seeing an animal grow in confidence or recover from something medical."
The charity offers a variety of volunteer roles, including animal transport, fundraising, gardening, and maintenance work at its centres.
Abby Hill, area volunteer support partner for RSPCA Cymru, said: "We are so grateful to volunteers like Jo and Danni for their dedication and commitment to their role."
Volunteer opportunities are available across Wales through RSPCA branches.
