About This Opportunity

 *** Our Covid 19 Safety Procedures are as follow:***

Our volunteer drivers only transport cats / kittens between foster homes and vet clinics… there is never another human person in the car other than the driver.
When picking up an animal, the cat is placed in the carrier by the foster parent and left where the driver will pick it up at the appointed time.
When dropping the cat / kitten off to the vet, the driver parks and calls the vet clinic to let them know that they are outside… a clinic staff will then come and collect the carrier which will have been placed outside of the car.
The same process is repeated in reverse when delivering the cat back to the foster parent.

Carriers are continually being sanitized (by the foster parents) and drivers are required to wear masks and gloves.




Responsibilities:

·         Drive cats/kittens to and from designated destinations ensuring their safe and punctual arrival

·         Correspond with ACA Transportation Coordinator and provide updates on your availability and distance preferences

 

Qualifications:

·         Valid G class Ontario Driver's License with clean driving record

·         Access to a reliable vehicle

·         2-3 hours per week, more or less depending on ad-hoc nature of requests

Benefits:

·         Be an integral part of the ACA Team
