In 2019, Homeward Bound received funding to open its Flamingo Adoption Center and embarked on a transition from this foster-based structure.

To date, Homeward Bound has saved over 9,000 cats, including 850 cats in 2022. The ED is responsible for overseeing the organization's consistent achievement of its vision, mission, and financial objectives. This includes taking responsibility for planning, organizing, and supervising all aspects of Homeward Bound operations, overseeing the development and implementation of a strategic plan for the long-term growth and success of the organization, and ensuring high-quality animal care while increasing pet adoptions and spay/neuter for cats. This position requires a strong focus on fundraising objectives to achieve the organization’s lifesaving goals for cats and to ensure the organization’s sustainability.
