Good Deed Days - VU x Pets in the Park

Pets In The Park provides free veterinary care for the pets of people experiencing homelessness, helping keep beloved companions healthy and together with their owners.

Join Volunteers United and Pets In The Park for a hands-on session putting together care packs for cats and kittens supported by the Darlinghurst clinic. You'll help assemble treats, toys, bedding and other essentials into compact, ready-to-give parcels — care packs that go directly to pet owners at the clinic and make a real difference to the animals they love.

What you'll be doing:

• Assembling around 15 care packs for cats and kittens
• Packing treats, toys, bedding and other essentials as compactly as possible
• Learning about Pets In The Park's work supporting the pets of people experiencing homelessness
• Creating parcels that will be handed directly to pet owners at the Darlinghurst clinic
