We would like to announce the resignation of Mike Kaviani, current Director of OC Animal Care. Mr. Kaviani has accepted the position of Chief Program Officer for a national non-profit organization and will transition from his role at the County by the end of the year. Mr. Kaviani joined OC Animal Care in August 2018 and has been a valuable member of the County’s team, sharing his animal welfare expertise. His work and contributions have been instrumental in initiating the implementation of OC Animal Care’s Strategic Plan. As a result, OC Animal Care has seen positive outcomes such as an increase in live release rates, expansion of the kitten foster program, and initiation of dog play groups to provide animal enrichment. A recruitment will begin immediately for a permanent replacement. In the interim, OC Animal Care will continue to be guided by its strategic plan, and we are confident the progress and good work will continue. We thank Mr. Kaviani for his service to the County, and we wish him well in his new endeavor.
