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. What she found wasn't a group of wild, feral cats, but domestic animals—terrified, visible, and struggling to survive just feet away from the highway.

We dive into the reality of the "Welcome Center Colony," the heart-wrenching condition of the kittens on-site, and why these animals have been overlooked for so long.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Veronica’s initial discovery at the Florida/Alabama line.
2. The difference between feral and terrified domestic abandonment.
3. The urgent need for awareness and rescue in Escambia County.
