## Resource

When kitten season arrives, shelters and rescues are pushed to their limits—but you can make a lifesaving difference. This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Deborah Felin-Magaldi of Helen Sanders CatPAWS to share how fostering, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and community involvement are helping save thousands of vulnerable cats and kittens. Deborah explains why fostering isn't as difficult as many people think, how first-time volunteers can get involved, and shares the inspiring story of Benny, a severely abused kitten who found healing, hope, and his forever home. Whether you're an experienced cat lover or simply wondering how you can help, this episode proves that even small acts of kindness can change a cat's life forever.
