On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Regan Lambert, Director of Johnson County Community Cats, the only cat specific rescue and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program located in Johnson County, Indiana and is 100% volunteer run and donation funded.

She also provides information and advice for people who want to become better pet owners and who want to assist in TNR programs.
“I think we can put an end to cat overpopulation if we do it right and doing it right is adding that education.       - Regan Lambert
