This is a solid listen. Jon is a wonderful and engaged interviewer! This will be a weekly listen for me.

I would prefer to have no kill shelters. My tortie of 10 years passed two weeks ago from cancer. We rescued her from a shelter and I didn’t know at the time that she was scheduled to be put down in the next week because she had almost been there for the designated amount of weeks allowed before they had to put them down. The lady even said that she was very used to people and was very kind. She wasn’t wrong. Which brings me back to why I don’t like kill shelters. Kim was a perfect cat and the fact that she was in the center that long and no one else considered taking her isn’t fair in my eyes. Many people are probably missing out on the opportunity to be a guardian for amazing cats like Kim. I guess it’s like my mom says, “She was meant for me. That’s why she was there for all that time.” I want others to be able to find the perfect one for them and give them all a fighting chance to do so. Which is why I am going to adopt another cat in the next few weeks. I just still need to grieve a bit more.

These people do amazing work and everyone should support them!

Long time first time. I was turned on to this pod by a friend who said I’d love it. I was definitely skeptical at first but it’s really great. The host does a great job of moving the conversation along and he really makes some of these not-at-first-compelling topics really interesting and relatable. As someone who loves animals but isn’t in the industry I think it’s a great entree into the sometimes wonky world of the professional animal welfare movement. I’m a fan boy and I’ve now listened to every episode. I only wish there were more stars I could give it

Love this podcast! I found it when searching for Kitten Lady (Hannah Shaw). I'm involved in kitten rescue as a foster parent and I find this podcast so fascinating and informative.

Great content, very inspiration and extremely entertaining.

I love hearing all the things in animal rescue. Very informative and motivating.
