Karen Little, featured previously on CCP Episode 17 and Episode 112, joins Stacy to discuss the new things going on with the organization she and her husband founded in Louisville, Kentucky in 1999, Alley Cat Advocates. In the 21 years since its inception, ACA has altered over 50,000 community cats and has worked to transform the culture of care provided to community cats in the region.
Stacy and Karen talk a bit about how Karen and her husband came to the idea of TNR and starting ACA, and about how they accomplish their spay/neuter numbers. Karen tells Stacy about ACA’s new facility and their relationship with the city of Louisville, which includes a municipal contract with the city.
Karen shares some advice for people thinking about how to change the culture for community cats in their area and reminds us all that sometimes, “We have to get outside of our comfort zone to help the cats.”
