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.
As a volunteer, your tasks will vary and could include:
-Feeding animals and preparing food
-Cleaning and maintaining pens, stables, and enclosures
-Grooming and brushing animals
-Assisting with basic health monitoring (weighing, observing behavior)
-Providing companionship and socialization
-Supporting small construction or maintenance projects (fencing, shelters, green areas)
-Taking photos and videos to support adoption promotion

I can honestly not think of anything bad about this program! I am so glad I chose to volunteer here and I am grateful to everyone at Impact Travel for making the experience as brilliant as it was and being so helpful, supportive and friendly. The work was so rewarding and I met so many wonderful animals and people while there. I will never forget it and would highly recommend!
I decided to travel instead of going to uni straight away, I thought volunteering would be a good way to travel and also give back to communities. I loved every minute of this program. The dogs are gorgeous too?
