Ep72 - Diane Blankenberg

Interview! Diane Blankenberg, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Consultant for Humane Network

Imagine being on the ground trying to rescue owned and community cats after Hurricane Katrina, as well as the recent flooding in Louisiana. Diane Blankenberg describes her amazing experiences working with Alley Cat Allies to help reunite people and their cats, including working at a "cat rescue camp" as well as assisting with TNR following these crises. She describes how, after Katrina, some owned cats were so traumatized that they appeared initially to be ferals. Community cats, says Diane, "have amazing survival instincts; after the recent floods many of them stayed in trees until they could be returned to their colonies."
