Partnership Development Manager

Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary (FFAS) is a nonprofit organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place for the animals that do not have homes or have medical issues and disabilities. FFAS partners with City, County and local residences to take in cats with severe special needs, disabilities or facing homelessness on the streets and house them in our facility.

Once they are at our sanctuary, our staff and fosters care for the cats and kittens, working together to give them the best medical care, rehab and love. Some are not adoptable, but many are and so we get them ready for adoption. They stay with us until they find their forever homes and as our cats are adopted, we reach out to our partners to bring us more cats and kittens thus being a part of the solution to saving our community cats.

Volunteers are vital to our operations here at FFAS. We continually seek to expand our programs with volunteer support. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations and volunteer efforts to help us achieve our goals and saving our communities at risk cats.
