This episode is sponsored in part by Cats of the Wild Podcast, Doobert.com, and Maddie's Fund.

On this episode, Stacy chats with Dawn Benefiel, the executive director of Indy Neighborhood Cats ("INC"), a nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for free roaming cats through TNR. INC also provides colony care,spay/neuter resources, and medical care to community cats.

In her conversation with Stacy, Dawn talks all about trapping and TNR. She describes mass-trapping, which involves trapping 20 or more cats, evaluating trap sites, and managing colonies. Dawn also discusses her earlier blog post on the CCP website, which explores mass-trapping techniques.

Dawn describes some of the initiatives of INC, along with her efforts in founding a TNR program at the local municipal shelter. She also discusses INC's partnership with Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside, and some of the challenges the organization has encountered following the pandemic.
