You'll learn how to tell the difference between a lost pet, a community cat, and a cat who is truly in distress. We also discuss the signs that a cat needs immediate help, when it's best to observe from a distance, and the well-intentioned mistakes that can separate cats from the homes they already have.

If you've ever wondered whether to intervene...or worried you made the wrong call, this episode will give you the knowledge and confidence to help cats in the ways they need most.
