Outreach Coordinator

Christy began her involvement in rescue and TNR several years ago when she noticed an overpopulation of cats at her apartment complex. She began taking care of cat colonies, working hard to make sure they were all fixed and taken care of with food and shelter. After putting in the time and effort to fix and care for her cat colony, Christy wanted to continue this work on a bigger scale to help even more cats.

Christy is responsible for helping FTLC grow through making connections in the Phoenix area with different businesses and organizations, which she does easily with her kind and outgoing personality. FTLC is so lucky to have such a compassionate, caring, and driven person like Christy join our team and help combat the homeless cat crisis in Maricopa County!
