Cat Depot’s Executive Director Announced as New President of FAAWO

May 23, 2017 by Post

Thayer had been named the new President for FAAWO; Florida Association of Animal Welfare Organizations

Sarasota, FL. – (May 22, 2017) – Cat Depot’s Executive Director, Shelley Thayer, has been named the 2017 president of FAAWO; the Florida Association of Animal Welfare Organizations.

FAAWO is a state-wide coalition of animal welfare and protection agencies, dedicated to promoting respect and compassion for all life. Goals include uniting animal advocates in the state, and serving as a unified front for animal welfare.

Ms. Thayer has extensive experience from the animal protection field; prior to Cat Depot, she worked with Best Friends Animal Society, assisting with several major rescue operations and co-authoring rapid response procedures. She has rallied for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, domestic animal rehabilitation, and big cat rescue.

Devoted to giving a voice to those who have none, Ms. Thayer retains her position at Cat Depot where she currently strives for a fifth consecutive no-kill kitten season in the county.

“It is an honor to work beside Florida’s most progressive animal welfare leaders on a state and national level,” said Thayer.

FAAWO Board Members include animal welfare organizations in Tampa, Orlando, Gainesville, Broward County and 9 other locations. Advisory Council Members include the ASPCA, BFAS, HSUS and Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program.
