Meet the SAFE Haven Team – Lauren

Meet the SAFE Haven Team – Lauren

Jan 17, 2024 | News

Lauren Key has a hands-on role in caring for the cats in our community! As a veterinary assistant at the SAFE Care Spay/Neuter Clinic, she uses her knowledge of handling and interacting with animals to create as fear-free of an experience as possible. Her experience in surgery also helps her practice good medicine.

Get to know Lauren:

Why did you choose SAFE Haven to work at?
I love the organization, mission, and the entire staff’s dedication to the cats.

What do you love about cats?
Everything! I love how each cat has its own, individual personality, and enjoy how low-maintenance they are. My favorite thing about cats is the boundaries they set!

Do you have any pets?

I do! I have Lilly, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu; Milo, 1.5-year-old Maine Coon mix; Lola (Milo’s sister!), also a 1.5-year-old Maine Coon mix; and Gypsy, a 1-year-old DSH kitten from SAFE Haven! She was formerly known as Green Bean Casserole and is in my picture, post-spay.

Fun Fact:
I plan to go to vet school and am applying this upcoming cycle. In the future, I want to own a purebred Maine Coon!!

So many opportunities!

Was your New Year’s resolution to get more involved in your community? SAFE Haven has plenty of chances for you to do just that!

During our Opportunity Fest on January 10, 2024, you’ll be able to learn more about both paid and volunteer positions that help us save lives every day. You’ll also be able to take a tour of the shelter and clinic every half hour to see what we do.

    • Looking for a career that makes a difference? Our SAFE Care Spay & Neuter Clinic offers low-cost spay and neuter care for cats and dogs, reducing the number of homeless animals that need our care. In 2022-23, they altered 7,283 cats and dogs that came from 41 of the 100 counties in North Carolina. If you’re a veterinary technician who wants to be on the front lines of community impact or you’re interested in what it takes to be a vet tech with our focus, you’ll have a chance to learn more and even apply to be a vet assistant with us!

    • Looking for volunteer opportunities? SAFE Haven volunteers are the only reason we can accomplish all that we do. We have opportunities for every skill level, time commitment, and interest, including our Cat Care Team which is currently looking for members. From the dirty work of cleaning cages to the time-intensive work of fostering, every second of a volunteer’s time means another life saved. You can see how you can fit into our team to start 2024 off by giving back!
