## Resource

What started as a classroom demonstration about how quickly cats can reproduce without spay and neuter somehow turned into the CATTOO challenge, 27 tattoos, and now a Forbes article. In this episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast , Daniel and Ashley break down the story behind the article, why the CATTOO challenge was created, and the bigger conversation around cat overpopulation, access to care, and responsible animal welfare. They also discuss the real impact of spay and neuter programs, the strain shelters and rescues continue to face, and why community-based solutions matter more than ever. Sometimes the best way to start a serious conversation is with something people will never forget.
