    Saaving The Streets - Episode 16 Difficult Decision-Making in a TNVR Program
    2025/12/18
    This week, we are back with Anupriya! In this episode, we deep dive into the nuances of decision-making when running a sterilization program. In the field, on the ground, there are so many difficult decisions that must be made - whether to treat an infectious disease, whether to rescue, whether to euthanize. It’s hard to know what the right choice is when we’re up against limits to resources and capacity in the Global South, but Anupriya shares their methodology for evaluating difficult cases and how to make a responsible commitment, with practical advice and shared experience.

    Saaving The Streets - Episode 15 Trapping Tricky Dogs and Cats in Delhi, India
    2025/11/18
    This week, we speak with Anupriya Dalmia, the founder of Dogs of Delhi Spay and Neuter, and the co-founder of Paws for a Cause. These organizations have facilitated the sterilization, vaccination, rescue, foster, and adoption of dogs and cats in Delhi NCR in India, where 34,000 dogs and cats have been spayed/neutered over 8 years. Anupriya shares with us the building blocks of how their program runs, with the help of community members, volunteers, vets, trappers, drivers, and caregivers who all make this work possible. With a target of sterilizing 80% of the animals in their managed areas, we discuss special cases of strategically catching difficult, fearful dogs to create healthy, managed packs and colonies.

    This week, we speak with Angeline Fahey from the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Angeline pioneered their first Community Cat Program, bringing trained and specialized cat trappers into the field to provide TNR services to the community. She shares with us both the challenges and opportunities of having TNR staff working in the field. Together we explore strategies, such as Cat Trapping Thursdays, and TNR bingo, for engaging new volunteers and keeping caregivers as part of the solution for a sustainable TNR project that sterilizes more than 3,000 community cats each year!

  • Saaving The Streets - Episode 13 Creating Systemic Change for Community Cats

    Saaving The Streets - Episode 13 Creating Systemic Change for Community Cats
    2025/10/16
    This week, we speak with Harry Eckman from International Cat Care. Based in Portugal, Harry conducts research across the Cat Population Management sector, figuring out solutions to the problems cats and people face globally. In this episode, Harry shares methods of strategic approaches to helping cats through TNVR, acting strategically instead of reactively, and building capacity amongst small organizations sterilizing community cats. By de-centering TNR as a single tool, and rather looking at CPM as a holistic approach, we discuss how addressing root causes and pushing upstream can have a more strategic approach in cat welfare, and how we can actualize a bigger impact for Cat Population Management programs.

    Saaving The Streets - Episode 12 Rescued Rabbits and Commodifying Animals Under Capitalism
    2025/09/30
    This week, we speak with Elliot Gold, the co-founder of The Hoppy Acre, a rabbit rescue and non-speciesist sanctuary in Essex, UK. Elliot dives deep into the world of rabbit health and well-being, laying out the reasons why these not-quite-wild/not-quite-domesticated creatures need rescue. From bunny “speed dating” to find their perfect bonded rabbit partner, to high-quality spay/neuter and veterinary care, today’s rabbits are sensitive creatures requiring top-quality care and rigorous research. Elliot describes the realities of the pet and breeding industries on rabbits and illustrates how these creatures - and all animals - will always suffer through commodification of their lives under capitalism.
