“I love to hear people talk about the love they have for their pets and hope much joy their pets bring and how much they enrich their lives. I just love hearing them. It just fills your heart right up.”

This episode is sponsored in part by Maddie’s Fund, The Community Cat Clinic, and Tomahawk Traps.

When Muffin, a little ball of fur with mischievous eyes, first claimed a corner of my heart, I never imagined where that love would lead. Now I’m joined by Kim Lengling, whose story mirrors the transformative power of companionship, not just with our four-legged friends but with those who share our human journey. 

Kim, a vocal supporter of veterans and advocate for cats, delves into her life’s narrative that wove together the threads of animal love and the resolve to aid those battling PTSD. Her poignant experiences, beginning with a childhood feline friend and extending to her advocacy for female veterans, are a testament to the healing that comes from caring – both given and received. 

As we navigate the landscape of feline welfare and veteran support, the conversation blossoms into a rich exploration of community connections. We discuss the anticipation surrounding the 2024 online kitten conference and the imperative work of the Community Cat Clinic, a beacon of hope for TNR proponents and feline health. 

Our chat culminates with a touching look at “Pawprints on the Couch,” Kim’s latest anthology that’s been warming the hearts of readers and topping charts. It’s a reminder of the deep bonds we share with our pets, and how these stories of love and loss resonate within us all. This episode is an open invitation to embrace storytelling’s power to unite, inspire, and embolden us in the face of life’s challenges.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Advocating for veterans in need
• Unconditional love between animals and humans
• Writing anthologies for a cause
