| 6/3/25 | Episode 59: Jeff Carstens: Feline Advocate | Jeff Carstens, feline advocate from Floral Park, New York, joins us to discuss his efforts to overturn feral cat feeding law #7 in Floral Park. According to Jeff:"The imposition of law #7 deprives homeless cats of a vital source of food, further endangering their already compromised lives. Communities around the world are adopting TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) programs as humane ways of controlling cat populations, instead of seeking to penalize well-meaning people who offer these animals some respite. It's time the Village of Floral Park did the same. The cats cannot ask for your help, but they need it. The law must be changed. We call on the leaders of the Incorporated Village of Floral Park to immediately overturn feral cat feeding law #7. Under compassionate, thoughtful guidance, we can find a constructive, humane solution to this situation."You can sign Jeff's petition and learn more about law #7 here:https://chng.it/5ZPsR7zGdMYour link for all things shelter cats:https://linktr.ee/sheltercats | — | ||||||
