Ep110 - Karina King

Dakin, since cat overpopulation has become less of an issue across Massachusetts. Dakin has performed over 70,000 spay/neuter surgeries, and as a result, the cats entering her adoption center are much more complex to rehome. She notes, "we wouldn't have had the time or space to help these cats in the past, but now we're able to successfully place them." She describes the innovative and successful feral kitten adoption program Dakin has piloted, where these "tiny tigers" are placed directly in homes, rather than fostered, with very positive results. Also touching on re-evaluating the needs of the community before determining what services they truly need. For more information visit www.dakinhumane.org.
