Taking Care of Both Ends of the Leash with Jon Geller, The Street Dog Coalition

The Community Cats Podcast

"They have cats for companionship to give them company because they're so isolated. There are so many stigmas attached to people who are homeless."

This episode is sponsored in part by Telecom Consultants, Buzz to the Rescues, and Maddie's Fund.

Stacy chats with Dr. Jon Geller, DVM, who worked as an emergency veterinarian for nearly 25 years. He is also the national founder and director of The Street Dog Coalition, which provides free veterinary care to pets of those experiencing homelessness. The Street Dog Coalition runs mobile veterinary clinics in over 50 cities across the U.S.

Dr. Geller talks about the services that The Street Dog Coalition provides to cats, as well as to their owners in their efforts to care for both ends of the leash. He also discusses the challenges that many of these individuals can face when seeking refuge in homeless and women's shelters when accompanied by their pets.
