Vet trips are usually early starts. Often collecting cats from homes, transporting to vets for an early start if going for neuters - then going home - and collecting them and returning to foster in the evening. You may only need to do one way - or can do both ways. Some trips are to take to the vets, and be with the cat in the appointment. Some trips are transporting cats to other foster homes. Sometimes its transporting equipment to and around the surrounding areas. Sometimes its helping take rubbish to the tip from Thorpe Hesley.
