Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 13 with Courtney from Poets Square Cats

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

In this episode I chatted with Courtney who is the face of Poets Square Cats. What or who is Poets Square Cats...? well it is a semi feral cat colony in Tucson, Arizona and Courtney is the incredible young woman taking care of this colony in her own neighbourhood.
Courtney's journey is almost one of chance for moving home meant she became familiar with the colony of cats in her local area and her own garden and started to help take care of them.
One of the first tasks was of course to carry out TNR work and neuter and Spey as many of them as possible, some were easier to catch than others but it did not deter Courtney and she has continued her work trapping and finding ways to catch the elusive ones to keep the population down.
She is now responsible for around 30 cats and if you follow her on Instagram you will be familiar with some of the wonderful characters such as Sad Boy, Monster Paws, Monkey, MK, Georgie and Sad Mouth Sam!
Courtney helps others in her local area by providing traps, food and educating people on ways they too can help. She is an advocate for TNR and sterilisation but also wherever possible she will find forever homes for the not so feral cats who she believes can adjust to a home environment where they can be safe and loved.
For such a young woman to take all of this on by herself its really an incredible story of the difference just one person can make if they just start and do something and how any change can be a positive change.
Please follow Courtney and her gang @poetsquarecats where you can also find her link tree to her Patreon site and amazon wishlist.
Thanks for listening!
