COMMUNITY CATS
The Community Cats podcast provides education, information and dialogues that helps to create a supportive environment empowering people to help cats in their community.
EPISODES
“Our goal is to put as much public pressure on the town representatives as possible and to spread as much awareness as we can, because the more people that are aware of the problem, the more people are going to ask the town to do something about it.”
This episode is sponsored in part by Maddie’s Fund and Tomahawk Traps.
Are you ready to be inspired by a relentless advocate for feline welfare? In this episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron chats with Stuart Kroll, a passionate animal rights advocate with over 15 years of experience. Stuart’s journey began with feeding a small colony of semi-feral cats in Port Washington, Long Island, which led him to become deeply involved in animal rescue and political advocacy. He shares his mission to establish a cat shelter in North Hempstead, a wealthy town with no municipal shelter for cats, and the challenges he faces in holding municipalities accountable for animal welfare.
Join us as Stuart discusses the complexities of creating a supportive environment for community cats, the vital role of municipal responsibility, and the power of public pressure in driving change. Discover how his unique background as a commodities trader has equipped him with the skills to navigate the political landscape and advocate for the rights of homeless cats. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about animal rescue, community engagement, and the fight for better conditions for our feline friends.
