Back in 2017, I Stacy LeBaron of Community Cats Podcast interviewed me for her podcast. Stacy has been involved in animal welfare for over 20 years. In her podcast, Stacy interviews renowned experts helping with the problem of cat overpopulation and cat welfare.
I’ve read about how cat overpopulation can have a dire effect on other species. But a new article, Feral Cats Are An Important Part of the Environment, provides a different and more positive, viewpoint.
Having lived with cats for many years, I’ve always felt their love. Although most times, it’s different from doggie love (which I know firsthand), it doesn’t mean we don’t have deep, soulful relationships with our cats.
So my heart feels most comfortable with a solution that is humane as well as viable – TNR, Trap, Neuter and Return.
In our discussion, Stacey and I talked about intuitive animal communication. We touched on how I help people find peace after the loss of their pets. (Learn more from my short video at Path to Peace: Navigating the Last Leg of Your Beloved Animal’s Life.)
I went on to share some ideas of how volunteers can deal with their worry and sadness when feral cats they’ve been caring for disappear.
Stacey’s organization empowers people to help all cats in their community, especially feral cats. I love that!
They provide education, information and dialogue to create a supportive environment to help cats in local communities.
And they support local TNR (trap, neuter, return) organizations to manage feral and stray cats.
More specifically, they offer:
They also give grants out to 501c3 organizations to help develop and support spay/neuter programs. To learn more about these grants, click here.
