Ep 55 - Danielle Jo Bays

An Interview with Danielle Jo Bays, Community Cats Program Manager for the Humane Society of the United States Danielle calls on both her hands-on trapping experience and public policy work to help HSUS develop campaigns and programs that will educate and empower people who want to support cats in their community, such as webinars and tools for trappers and colony caretakers. She underscores the need to engage and communicate with neighbors to make the care of cats a group effort: "sometimes you find out there are 8 people all feeding a colony of 8 cats." She also stresses the impact of integrating different types of programs, such as TNR and Pets for Life, to address not just community cats, but cats who have the potential to end up outside.
