    From Dorm Rooms to Rescue Rooms: Forgotten Felines Rescue of Louisiana

    In this episode of Animal Posse, we meet Hannah Louviere, who founded Forgotten Felines Rescue of Louisiana as a 19-year-old college student after witnessing a stray cat give birth on her campus sidewalk. Now a professional surgical vet technician, Hannah shares how she grew that initial student project into a thriving 501(c)3 nonprofit that handles some of the most complex medical cases in the state. We discuss the "St. Mary Parish pipeline," where her rescue serves as a critical lifeline for animals in rural areas facing euthanasia due to a lack of local resources, severe injuries, or specialized medical needs. The conversation highlights the emotional and logistical challenges of special-needs rescue work—from performing "medical miracles" on rare conditions like liver shunts to navigating the difficult reality of the generational gap in animal advocacy. Hannah also shares the exciting news of the rescue's transition from a foster-based model to their very own dedicated facility, designed to provide a permanent sanctuary and medical quarantine for Louisiana’s most vulnerable cats. This episode is a powerful look at resilience, the evolution of a rescuer, and the belief that every animal—no matter how forgotten—deserves a chance at a healthy life.

    Reframing the Way We See Cats with Frame Your Feline

    In this episode, we’re joined by Brian Vermeire and Kristina Hughes, the duo behind Frame Your Feline, to explore the fascinating journey of how they merged a passion for cats with high-end interior design. They share the story of how they moved from a creative spark to a rigorous design process that prioritizes feline safety and comfort, ultimately creating a product that treats your cat like the masterpiece they are. By transforming the way cats are presented in the home, Brian and Kristina’s unique "living art" concept is doing much more than elevating home decor—it is fundamentally changing the narrative around cat adoption. They explain how these frames help potential owners see shelter cats through a new lens, highlighting their beauty and personality in a way that captures hearts. This shift in perception has become a powerful tool for animal welfare, successfully helping more cats get noticed and find their way into forever homes.

    It Takes a Village to Save Lives with Stephanie Smith

    Independent rescuer and animal advocate Stephanie Smith joins us for a powerful, eye‑opening conversation about what it really takes to protect animals in communities where resources are thin and the need is overwhelming. Stephanie shares the story that changed everything for her in 2022 — a heartbreaking discovery that pushed her from “someone who loves animals” to a full‑time advocate working directly with sheriffs, judges, and local officials across multiple states. She opens up about: • The difference between keyboard warriors and true community action • Why video evidence is essential for prosecuting abuse • How citizens can support law enforcement and push for real change • The rise and fall of her 14,000‑follower advocacy page, and the impact it made • Her incredible project, Pet Blessing Box, which helps families keep their pets fed and safe during hard times This episode is a reminder that one person can spark change — but lasting progress takes a village.
