Do you believe every animal and human is an individual being with personality, feelings, intrinsic worth, and value? And as such, they should be treated with respect and care in a non-judgmental, safe environment?

Do you believe affordable sterilization, community education, trap, neuter, and return programs, and no-kill animal shelters are proven methods to stop euthanasia as a means of population control for companion animals?

Are you the kind of leader who believes people are an organization’s most important asset and who knows how to build, nurture, and inspire a community internally and externally? Are you a visionary who sees today’s realities and tomorrow’s possibilities and blends them together to forge a plan for growth built on data, input, and a deep understanding of community needs?

If so, then you may be SAFE Haven for Cats’ next Executive Director.

SAFE Haven for Cats

Since opening, SAFE Haven has orchestrated the adoptions of more than 17,000 cats and kittens and spayed or neutered more than 50,000 cats, kittens and small dogs in our clinic.
