Karen Pettet - volunteer pet fosterer

Karen has been volunteering at our Victoria animal hospital for around five years. She started by helping out in the kennels before moving to the clinics and on to reception.

Now Karen fosters animals from the hospital who need to recuperate before they can go to our adoption centres to be rehomed.

Karen says: “I have always had a real love of animals and found volunteering a great way to get involved in pet healthcare, help out and start a new career.

“I help foster young kittens that need hand rearing, which is a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference to an animal’s life.

“The Blue Cross is such a worthwhile charity and I feel honoured to be a part of it.”
