Ep54 - Angela Walters Rockwell

An Interview with Angela Walters Rockwell, Executive Director of the Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP), Santa Barbara, California

Angela shares fascinating information about ASAP's innovative programs, particularly their recognized "Tiny Lion Tamers" initiative that socializes feral kittens within the shelter environment. So far, this program has 125 "graduates" and has made a significant difference in ASAP's ability to deal with a large feral kitten population. There's even a "foster dad" cat who's available to provide a little "whupass" to kittens that need better manners! ASAP has a unique management structure, where paid staff work alongside volunteers as program managers. Angela believes that "everyone at the table should feel valued, especially volunteers."
