Tree House Humane Society is looking for a Counselor!
Tree House was founded in 1971 with a mission focusing on the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of sick, stray, and injured cats. We have grown into a nationally recognized organization, and are leaders in every aspect of cat care, from TNR to behavior advice to transfer programs (to save more cats!) to humane education.
Our counselors are the face of Tree House. They handle all reception duties, as well as all in-house adoptions. They are knowledgeable of, and able to discuss, all cat-related subjects and issues. Additionally, they maintain a major social media presence, and work on creative endeavors to benefit the organization and promote our mission.
