Animal Care Givers at Kenya Society for Protection and care of Animals (KSPCA)

Our Animal Care Givers are the heart and soul of our work. A thousand animals find safety with us every night in our shelters across Kenya, and the Animal Care Givers are there to look after them. They clean and feed the animals, care for them when they are sick, and keep them exercised. They also assist with field work, helping Field Officers to rescue animals.
