“Nobody goes into this knowing everything you need to know.”
Christie and Stacy have a wide-ranging discussion about low cost spay/neuter, developing a successful TNR effort by building community coalitions, and Christie’s experience with the Pets for Life program, which she states changed her mind completely about the pets of the underprivileged: “everyone deserves to have love in their lives.” She also describes the inspiring work she’s involved with at the Jackson Galaxy Foundation, where clicker training for cats (yes, you read that right!) is changing the game for shy and fearful shelter cats.
