When compassion meets innovation, extraordinary things happen. That's the story we're telling today, with Dr. Kimberly Mann and Steven Martinez, who are changing the lives of thousands of community cats through the York County SPCA spay/neuter clinic. Kimberly, a veterinarian with surgical prowess and a big heart, alongside Steven’s business acumen, has led their clinic to an astounding 11,000 surgeries in a single year. Their shared dedication not only speaks volumes about their love for animals but also sets an inspiring standard in animal welfare. 

The complexities of managing feline populations are at the forefront of our discussion, as we tackle the intricacies of trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. Discover how Kimberly and Steven navigate the logistical challenges of caring for community cats while providing insights into the strategic functions of spay and neuter clinics. As we celebrate the astounding success of their clinic, we also gear up for the highly anticipated 2024 Online Kitten Conference, an event that promises to be the cat's meow for enthusiasts everywhere.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Passionate about community cats

  • Spay-neuter clinic operations and success

  • Community cats and strategic communication

  • Community cat spay-neuter program sustainability
