Summary
On this heartwarming episode of Cattitude, host Michelle Fern welcomes author Vanessa Benitez to discuss her touching new children’s book, The Adventures of Puffy Cat and the Lost Name inspired by her real-life rescue cat, Snarf. Vanessa shares the unbelievable story of finding a fluffy cat abandoned in a garbage can, overcoming severe cat allergies to save her, and how that journey led to writing a compassionate story about stray cats, friendship, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), and pet adoption. Learn why adult rescue cats deserve love too, how TNR helps control the cat population, and why teaching children empathy for animals can change the future for homeless pets everywhere.
