“Oftentimes, these folks are not upset about the cats in general, but the fact that they’re not being cared for.”
In this, the seventh (!) Ask Stacy episode, Lisa and Stacy leave the world of cat lovers behind for a moment to take a look at “cat opponents”—whether those be the neighbors who resent your feeding station or the touch anti-community cat legislation currently enforced in your town. Backed by years of experience, Stacy provides some insight into the many reasons that people might actually be upset about the presence of community cats—and the answers may surprise you. She shares some of her success stories in mediating tense neighborhood situations and negotiating with lawmakers, to provide some encouragement for those of us who may be discouraged by the roadblocks to a safe and equitable world for cats.
Don’t forget that the Community Cats Podcast is hosting a webinar on June 17 at 11 am with none other than Hannah Shaw, the Kitten Lady! Her webinar will focus on all things kittens and bottle babies, and how to create the best possible foster home for these little kitties. Sign up now before space runs out!
Also, MRFRS’ annual Strut for Strays will be held this year on June 4 at 11:30 am, at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, MA. If you’re in the area and want to show your support for community cats and local shelters, please consider going to this lively and worthwhile event!
