    Saving St. Bernard’s Cats: How TNR Is Changing Everything

    St. Bernard Parish is facing one of the most intense community‑cat challenges in Louisiana — and today, we’re digging into the solution that actually works. Robbie Denny of the St. Bernard Parish Community Cat Coalition and Snip & Tip St Bernard TNR joins us to share how TNR (Trap‑Neuter‑Return) is reducing stray populations, easing community tensions, and improving life for both residents and cats. From the “vacuum effect” to the realities of unfixed males, from feeder education to parish‑wide responsibility, this conversation breaks down the truth behind colony management and what it really takes to create lasting change. Robbie also shares powerful stories from the field — the wins, the heartbreaks, and the urgent need for parish support.

  4. Happiness, Humor, and Harm Reduction in Rescue with Christie Keith

    Happiness, Humor, and Harm Reduction in Rescue with Christie Keith

    In this episode of Animal Posse, host Dixie sits down with longtime animal welfare leader Christie Keith for a deep, nuanced conversation about early spay‑neuter through a harm‑reduction lens. With more than 30 years of experience—including work with major organizations like Maddie’s Fund—Christie breaks down why medical guidelines must differ between high‑volume shelter environments and private homes. Together, they explore the “different math” of shelter medicine, new research on neonatal vaccinations, and why early sterilization remains a critical tool in preventing pet overpopulation and accidental “teen pregnancies” in cats. The conversation also goes beyond medical protocols. Christie shares powerful insights on how rescues can sharpen their messaging to reach donors and adopters outside their usual circles—shifting from constant heartbreak to more joyful, humorous, and hope‑driven storytelling that resonates with the general public. Dixie and Christie also dig into the realities of modern rescue management, from using AI to streamline communication to handling trolls, negative reviews, and social‑media chaos with professionalism and strategy. This episode is a must‑listen for anyone working in rescue, shelter medicine, or animal advocacy who wants to communicate smarter, save more lives, and build a healthier relationship with the public.
