## Resource

In this episode of 19 Cats and Counting, Rita Reimers speaks with Stacy LeBaron about Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and why it benefits entire communities, whether you love cats or not. Stacy shares how TNR improves public health, reduces nuisance behaviors, and creates long-term humane solutions for free-roaming cats. They also discuss the exciting renaming of Community Cats Podcast to Community Cats Central and the educational classes now available to advocates and caregivers nationwide. Trap-Neuter-Return is often misunderstood — and sometimes controversial — but as Stacy LeBaron explains, it is one of the most effective, humane strategies for managing free-roaming cat populations. Whether you’re actively involved in TNR or simply want to understand how humane community cat management benefits everyone, this episode provides clarity, facts, and actionable insight.
