St. Francis Society Animal Rescue

About us

Jim Martinelli

Jim Martinelli

PetsMart Coordinator, Board Member

Jim moved to Tampa in 1977 from Huntsville, Alabama and has worked with IBM as a software developer since 1981. He began “officially” working with animal rescue in the summer of 2005 although he had rescued and found homes for several cats prior to his exposure to St Francis. He has a great love for all animals but feels a special connection to cats. Jim also cares for several feral groups and hopes to someday establish a sanctuary for feral and stray cats. Jim and his wife Paula share their home with 6 cats and a dog, all of which are rescues.
