Opportunity for Vets and VNs
The Protecting Animal Welfare (PAW) cat sanctuary in Belize are offering vet nurses and vets the opportunity to develop their skills and contribute to a charity while living abroad.

The cat sanctuary is looking for a resident volunteer to stay for several months and help the charity move ahead to the next stage.

PAW was founded in 2003 by Madi Collins and is now home to 73 cats, four dogs and one duck, plus a colony of 16 ferals. Madi started the centre after giving up her corporate lifestyle in the US and returning to her home country with her three cats. Madi is now searching for a resident vet or vet nurse who can help her care and treat the animals. In return, she is offering her beachfront chalet, which is normally hired out to tourists.
