We have a special guest, Dr. Apryl Steele, who is a veterinarian and CEO of the Dumb Friends League, a big animal shelter in Denver, Colorado. She was in private practice for 17 years and now receives 22000 animals per year at the Dumb Friends League (ddfl.org). They have a Solutions spay-neuter clinic, where they spay, deworm and vaccinate cats for free. Last year they did 12000 spays and castrations. During the podcast, Apryl tells us what the advantages are of cat spays and neuters. Last but not least Apryl played a major role in the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). AAFP has a great program called Cat-Friendly Practice (catfriendly.com) with lots of great tips of cat owners.
