"We will not spay and neuter ourselves out of the problem...the education is the lasting part of it, and that will go from person to person." This episode is sponsored in part by Maddie's Fund and Tomahawk Traps. In this episode of the Community Cats Podcast, Stacy interviews Dr. Christine Monroe, a seasoned veterinarian, and Rhonda Shaffer, a dedicated trapper from Spay Neuter Northwest. Together, this two-woman team has enormously impacted feral cat populations in Whatcom County, pioneering innovative programs that provide compassionate care for thousands of cats. Through hands-on efforts, strategic collaboration, and a deep-rooted passion, they are leading the way in transforming how communities manage feral cats. Dr. Monroe and Rhonda share the origins of their work, which began with a simple idea over breakfast and evolved into a model for managing feral colonies. They discuss their unique approaches, from mass trappings to individual cat rescues, and their efforts to educate and empower local communities. Listeners will learn about the practical challenges of TNR (trap-neuter-return), the evolution of their feral cat program, and the “No Excuses” initiative that equips individuals to take action themselves. Tune in to hear the heartwarming stories behind the program, the incredible work being done to reduce cat overpopulation, and the powerful takeaways that can inspire any animal welfare advocate.
