Meet the experts!
Shelly Kotter is the Community Cat Programs Manager at Best Friends Animal Society. Shelly guides a number of model programs nationwide and advises communities across the country on humane methods of dealing with cat overpopulation. The goal of Best Friends’ community cat programs is to keep cats out of the shelter system by implementing trap/neuter/return (TNR) programs and relocating at-risk community cats.
Peter J. Wolf joined Best Friends in May 2013 as the organization’s cat initiatives analyst, bringing a research-oriented emphasis to a range of communications- and policy-related projects. Peter is also the founder of “Vox Felina,” a blog featuring in-depth analysis of science and policy issues related to the management of free-roaming cats in general, and TNR in particular. Over the past four-and-a-half years, “Vox Felina” has attracted a devoted audience of community cat advocates and has become an invaluable resource for journalists.
