September 2, 2016“Look at the data. Look at what’s happening. We need to sterilize, ear tip, and rabies vaccinate and put these cats back home.”
A graduate of Cornell’s College of Veterinary program, Sara is the Program Director for Target Zero, a national initiative focused on assisting financially struggling shelters. She discusses the ways in which this program helps subsidize fixed income pet owners across the country, allowing spay and neuter opportunities that result in drastic decreases in shelter intake. The Community Cat Diversion Program, implemented by Target Zero, prioritizes updating antiquated ordinances and codes through communicating with and educating elected officials. Sara and Stacy also discuss the debate over the definition of an ‘abandoned’ cat, and ways to determine abandonment. Sara’s passion and commitment is clear as she shares her views and experiences.
