    Description

    Community Cat Coordinators

    Tiny Cat Animal Rescue is seeking Community Cat Coordinators to lead and manage our community cat (TNVR) program. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for community cat inquiries and work closely with the Director of Operations to balance rescue efforts with available foster and financial capacity.

    What You'll Do

    Intake & Triage

    • Monitor and respond to incoming community cat inquiries (email, social media, website)
    • Assess requests and gather key information (location, number of cats, condition, friendliness, urgency)
    • Prioritize cases based on urgency and organizational capacity

    TNVR Coordination

    • Coordinate trapping, spay/neuter, and return efforts
    • Maintain relationships with trappers, clinics, and community partners
    • Schedule and oversee TNVR efforts from intake through release

    Capacity Management & Diversion

    • Act as a first line of defense to prevent overextension of foster resources
    • Identify and coordinate alternative outcomes (e.g., TNVR without intake, placement with partner rescues, community-based solutions)
    • Present vetted recommendations to the Director of Operations for final decisions on intake

    Program Oversight & Tracking

    • Maintain organized records of all community cat cases
    • Track TNVR outcomes, including number of cats trapped, sterilized, and returned
    • Identify trends and opportunities to improve efficiency and impact

    Collaboration

    • Work closely with the Director of Operations and foster team to align on capacity
    • Support education efforts for community members on TNVR and responsible care of outdoor cats

    Ideal Candidate

    • Experience with TNVR, animal rescue, or community cat management preferred but not required
    • Highly organized and responsive; able to manage multiple active cases
    • Strong judgment and ability to assess when to escalate vs. divert
    • Comfortable communicating with the public in emotionally charged situations
    • Solutions-oriented and able to think creatively when resources are limited
    • Committed to TCAR’s mission and standards of care
