Are you recently retired and looking for an opportunity to see if you like country life and enjoy the sunny weather of Florida. Here is an experience you will not want to turn down. This position provides an opportunity for you to volunteers your time and talents creating Wildwood cat rescue into a non-profit entity.

This is a job that takes lot of hands on and ability for person to learn and perform new tasks. A person, who has some experience with animal rescue and non-profit organizations. A person, who is not set in their ways, is willing to learn and get their hands dirty. A person who strong in body and spirit.

Being resourceful will make up a lot for those who do not have the experience working with rescue or with non-profit agencies.

A must however, is a love for animals especially cats and a tolerance and a courtesy for people of all sorts especially country folk.

The goal of Wildwood Ranch Cat Rescue is to help care and place lost and abused and homeless cats. Some of the tasks involved in doing this include but are not inclusive are:

Developing and running programs to raise money and care for animals 24/7 on the premises, repairing fences, outreach (adoptions off campus) building, cleaning, help with the physical and emotional support to the animals, medical, administrative and technical support.

This sounds like a lot on the plate but I do it all myself now with a little grounds maintenance support but since we work on a small scale it is manageable for the right motivated person.

If this sounds like something you would like to try please call, email or visit my site.

The board, cats and I would love to meet with you.

We at Wildwood Ranch provide an environment for cats that is as close to their natural habitat as possible, while waiting for their forever homes, cats get to be cats.

Our group of concerned citizens assist shelters, rescues and animal welfare agencies rescuing cats and dogs working together with these groups towards positive solutions to the tragic problem of animal neglect, abandonment and euthanasia; promoting the no kill attitude.

We are not a shelter and have limited capability to shelter animals. Our facility takes in cats when room is available to foster before they are placed in loving homes. Our safety fences from Purr-fect Fence and some free roaming area as well as indoor places cats cat relax. We interact with the cats daily to evaluate them so that they will be matched with appropriate adopters. We are unique in as much as our fostered cats have open spaces and a home not cages to enjoy, as we believe every moment in all living beings lives are precious.

 Many of our cats have permanent residence at the ranch because they have not been adopted for various reasons including; medical or unresolved behavioral issue or are just to old to make major lifestyle changes but we strive to place all cats that are adoptable.

We keep a balance at all times of cats coming in and going out to keep our numbers small by taking an aggressive action to adopt our animals to loving homes. Our guidelines to adoption are very strict to protect the lives of the animals we save.

We are also active in educating the public in all aspects of cat care and issues using tools such as the Internet, public appearances, radio, newspapers, and newsletters. Our most effective publicity tool is our public image of being a caring, reputable and devoted group and our fifteen-year success of successful adoptions.
