In this insightful episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron speaks with Natalia Hansen, Marketing Coordinator for the Humane Canada Summit for Animals. Natalia shares her journey from being unsure of cats to becoming a self-professed “cat lady,” all while playing a pivotal role in Canada’s animal welfare movement. She highlights the work Humane Canada does, from advocating for animal welfare legislation to organizing Canada’s largest animal welfare conference.

Natalia discusses the successes of Humane Canada, such as their advocacy for the ban on whale and dolphin captivity for entertainment, and the challenges that remain, including a nationwide shortage of veterinarians. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration in animal welfare and sheds light on innovative solutions like mobile spay and neuter programs, as well as pet food banks, which help keep pets in loving homes during times of hardship.

As Natalia gears up for the 2025 Summit for Animals in Montreal, she invites listeners to attend and connect with other professionals dedicated to improving animal welfare. Whether through volunteering, donations, or simply sharing knowledge, Natalia urges everyone to get involved and support the work of local humane societies.
