    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.

    Abandoned at the State Line: The Welcome Center Cats

    For most travelers, the Escambia County Welcome Center is a quick rest stop at the Florida state line. But for a colony of nearly 50 cats and kittens, it has become a place of abandonment and survival. In this episode, guest Veronica Belletto joins the show to share her firsthand account of discovering these animals.
