Ep 52 - Ask Stacy! Questions and Answers for Inquiring Cats
"My hope is that there comes to be more acceptance of the idea of a community cat."
"I would like every veterinarian to be supportive of TNR and to understand the huge difference that it's made."
"We have a better option for this subset of underrepresented cats."
"The program changed our view, philosophy, and focus and what we were saving on the cat side was helping us do better on the dog side as well."
"I thought to myself, there has to be a better way…and that was what drove me, right after vet school, to go to work in a shelter."
"What really keeps me and most of our team coming to work every day is the fact that we have seen such great success."
"I felt if this cat shouldn't have been born and if there weren't such a surplus, they'd all have a better shot at a good life."
"Equate the cost of helping an individual cat with how many spays and neuters you aren't doing."
"We need an organization that can educate the public, but, at the same time, also provide resources for the smaller 'mom and pop' groups."
"We don't ever want anyone to come to the clinic and say we don't have enough traps for you."
"I'm better at being a copycat than an original… With all the webinars and podcasts like these, you can learn so much from each other."
"In the human side of things, you can never get to zero in something that you think is absolutely ideal."
"The canine has always been given more precedence in medical care."
"I am extremely optimistic about the future."
"We all have our own donor sources, yes, we have our own projects and so on, but we are in this together."
"When an animal control agency/animal shelter is working with a TNR group, it's a great relationship."
"Relationships and people make all of the work we do in animal welfare possible."
"We're in the business of saving lives."
"I think I was born a cat lady."
"It's hard and it's messy and it's not pretty, but when it works we can really change policies that impact so many animals."
"Diabetes is not a death sentence for cats."
"The connection of one to one is really magical."
"I knew I could be the voice for the animals and wanted to help."
"We're all about working through compassion."
"Even though we're behind, we don't want to be."
"People may be the problem but they're also the solution."
"Community cats are not homeless..they are loved and cared for."
"You don't have to change the world in 20 minutes."
"Don't be afraid to ask complete strangers for help."
"The first thing you want to do is find out who's going to be a good partner."
"We all have stories…and it's those stories that can empower us to believe that we can do more for cats."
"Cats are resourceful and a lot smarter than we give them credit for."
"You can save more lives by fixing one cat than you can with one adoption."
"If we can keep a cat that has a solvable, fixable behavior problem in its home, it's better for the cat and for the owner."
"Long term vision and careful planning leads to success."
"We simply can't say, "I'm an animal person…I don't want to deal with people."
"A lot of cats are not really lost."
"Nobody goes into this knowing everything you need to know."
"We know TNR works, now it's just a matter of executing."
"I had never seen one cat outside, let alone one hundred!"
"The answer comes from all of us."
"People are mad…they want kittens and now there are no kittens!"
"We were literally swimming in cats."
"Once you save one, you're hooked for life."
"I realized there was a whole world of feral cats out there"
Bailing a ship with a cup of water.
"They were feeding their pets their own food."
When we work together, we exemplify a humane world.
Start where you are, and use what you have.
You've got to fix them all!
