Back Into Daylight Animal Sanctuary

🚗 Transport Volunteer Needed – Monday Morning 🐱

We’re looking for a volunteer to help transport a mama cat to the vet on Monday morning.

📍 Please arrive at the sanctuary at 8:20am so the cat can be dropped off for her 8:45am appointment. She’ll be staying at the clinic for her spay, so you only need to drop her off—no return journey required.

If you can help, please comment below 💙

While we’re here, we’re also looking for more amazing volunteers! Whether you’d like to:

🐾 Help care for the cats at the sanctuary
🏡 Foster a cat or kitten
🚗 Assist with transport to vet appointments

…we’d love to hear from you!

Please register your interest here:

Morning at the sanctuary: coffee can wait, we’ve got mouths to feed! 🪿☕️

When people say that they love animals, what does that love actually look like in practice?

If animals could answer, they might say: “Love me less. Respect me more.”

Love, when it remains centred only around human experience, our own feelings and how animals enrich our lives, it means very little to the animals themselves. They are still bred, confined, separated from their families, used for our entertainment and convenience often by people who genuinely believe they care.

And this contradiction exists closer to home as well. Many people say they love their cats or dogs, yet hesitate to provide essential care: neutering, veterinary treatment, safe living conditions. Enjoying an animal’s companionship is not the same as respecting their needs. Real respect means taking responsibility for their wellbeing, even when it requires time, effort or financial commitment.

Respect is different from what we are accustomed to call “love” in this context. Respect means recognising animals as individuals, not resources. It means questioning habits that cause harm, even when those habits are normalised and comfortable. It means refusing to support industries built on suffering, and choosing instead to protect, to advocate and to give animals the space to live on their own terms.

Respect is not abstract. It shows up in everyday decisions: what we eat, what we buy, how we care and what we choose to ignore.

Calling ourselves “animal lovers” is easy. Acting in a way that truly considers their lives and interests is harder, but that is where real change begins.

Animals do not need our affection if it comes without accountability! They need our consistency, our awareness and our willingness to do better.
