    Over het programma

    Love farm animals and cats and want to volunteer in Animal Care in Croatia – Split and on a beautiful Island just outside Split? 
    Our Animal Care Program empowers volunteers to support a rural animal sanctuary on an Island and a dedicated cat shelter in Žrnovnica, just outside Split.
    Volunteers gain hands-on experience caring for animals that have been rescued from neglect, abuse, or abandonment. By contributing time, energy, and compassion, you help ensure these animals receive the daily care, rehabilitation, and socialization they need to live safely and, where possible, find loving homes.
    Animal Care volunteers in Split and on the Island support two meaningful placements: a large Animal Sanctuary and a Cat Shelter focused exclusively on feline rescue and welfare.
    The level of care these animals receive depends greatly on volunteer support. Your contribution directly improves their quality of life and helps local teams continue their vital rescue work.

    What to Expect
    • Daily Animal Care: Assist with bathing, brushing, and providing companionship through play, walks, and socialization.
    • Health Monitoring: Help measure and weigh the animals, ensuring their health is monitored and maintained.
    • Socialization Activities: Engage with a variety of animals daily to help them become comfortable around people, providing them with fun and active time.
    • Adoption and Awareness Promotion: Capture photos and videos to build profiles that help promote the sanctuary and its animals to the wider community.
    • Sanctuary Improvement: Contribute to the improvement of sanctuary conditions by caring for green spaces and assisting with small construction projects, such as building enclosures and fences.

    Why Join?
    • Make an Impact: Provide essential care and love to abandoned animals, helping them find their forever homes.
    • Gain Experience: Develop skills in animal care, socialization, and shelter management while working with a passionate team.
    • Cultural Immersion: Experience the culture of Croatia while contributing to a meaningful cause that supports animal welfare.

    Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

    Amidst the Kozjak and Mosor mountains and surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, just a few hours away from one of the other European capitals, the small peninsula where Split is located has a lot to offer to every visitor and traveler.

    Croatia, as a Balkan nation, is a must-visit country for anyone who chooses to visit Eastern Europe in a meaningful way. On the one hand, it has a rich historical heritage full of monuments classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; on the other, it is a country that is still recovering from a political war, in the group of countries with the highest number of people living below the poverty line.

    With its charming ancient towns and villages, beautiful beaches, and more than a thousand islands, its history has produced a very rich cultural diversity, shaped by Roman and Turkish influences, that is, Mediterranean and Eastern European influences. These historical heritages mark the different regions of Croatia. Between Istria, Dalmatia, and the center of Croatia, the gastronomy, lifestyle, and accents can change a lot, making the country very diverse and interesting. Split, the second biggest city, has a specific Mediterranean influence that makes it especially welcoming, cosy and warm. With its palace just by the seaside, Split brings a peaceful and fresh atmosphere that invites you to come and stay for a while.
