Kim Wilken
Board Member

Kim is currently a registered nurse living in Bend, Oregon. After moving to Oregon and seeing the space available, and knowing other areas of the country were still euthanizing for space, decided to start transporting animals north. She has had a love for companion animals since she was a child and has spent many hours volunteering at rescues, shelters, a high volume spay and neuter clinic and practicing TNR for community cats. Other interests include hiking, paddle boarding, traveling and spending time with her husband Bryan and two spoiled dogs.

She was the child and adult who always brought home the animals that needed a soft place to land. She has been involved with many aspects of animal care as a volunteer including post surgery recovery of cats and dogs at a high volume spay and neuter clinic, doing TNR of community cats, and socializing cats in a shelter setting to improve adoption chances. Elaine enjoys scuba diving and traveling with her husband, and hiking with Maizie, her border collie.
