Volunteer of the Month - March 2020

This month we’re giving kudos to Audrey Jeary, a volunteer who spends countless hours of her time helping to ensure VOKRA kitties are happy in their foster homes and find loving furever homes.

Here’s Audrey tells us she became involved in VOKRA and why:

I first became involved in VOKRA when I saw a post on Facebook looking for volunteers. I jumped into foster coordinating with both feet and then moved into doing adoption contracts at the same time. After four years, I recently became the contracts team lead.

Every part of what I do is rewarding. My foster parents call me their kitten broker. One of the sweetest things is to assist in a birth and watch the kittens grow up. Then, quite often, I sit with the adopters to complete the process. Sending kittens and cats off to their forever homes is a happy time for all.

I do what I can for my foster parents and the cats in their care. I support them in every way, and the contracts team as well. They’re special people and work very hard.

VOKRA’s a huge family of cats and humans and it's a constant pleasure to be a part of it.

Audrey has been a fully invested volunteer from day one. Joining VOKRA and taking on the role of a foster coordinator is a huge challenge and she dove in headfirst. It takes a lot to be able to manage working with all the different teams, mastering all the computer software involved and keeping track of many foster homes, ensuring cats and kittens are in good hands and getting prepped for adoption. On top of that, I've seen Audrey take on many other tasks and join other teams. She always does the very best and knows how to get a job done well. She's extremely dedicated to VOKRA and all the kitties and is a great example to all of us as fellow volunteers.
