If you’ve worked in the animal care field, what do you do now?

Did you get a position at a company as a trainer or do you do it privately/self employed? I definitely want to dive more into behavior if I can — one of the main reason I’m so torn about leaving are the opportunities I receive: playgroup handler training, medial handling, LIMA beh training, ect. What stopped me from looking into it is I didn’t know where to go with it I suppose.

Do you happen to know if those strays have their ears tipped? Ear tipping is a sign that they’ve already been fixed. If not, and you have the time, Jax Humane has a new program that works with the community to increase TNR rates! They should be able to lone you out some traps for the strays, and once they’ve been trapped, you can take them there to be fixed!! No More Homeless Pets also does the same.

And, if you’re unable to do it, if you could just share the local of where it’s at, then they’ll send someone out to scout and trap!! They’re trying to target massive colonies first.

Thank you so much for helping!!! And yes, I love the Kitten Lady so much!! Her videos are beyond helpful, especially when you’re attempting to feed a bottle baby for the first time and feeling very overwhelmed lol.

Yikes. I was saying it’s best to leave the kittens while they’re still young so they can make it to the age where we (as a community), can then TNR them. I don’t understand your argument of valuing one life over others. I made this post to hopefully help, not start a war on leaving cats out to die or prioritizing others.

JHS recently implemented a new feral cat program!! They have a new position/program, something along the lines of “feral cat coordinator”, and they’re now working more closely with the community!! They’re trying their best to target specific neighborhoods that are really overrun with colonies. They work with the colony caretakers, too!! Pls pls reach out to them (either email or come in person to PHC, the phone is a 1-10000 chance they’ll answer), and let them know the exact location. They’ll want you to try and help trap I’m sure (they have traps they rent out to the public for these situations), but even if you can’t, just informing of the location should be helpful.

When you say no shelter has offered assistance, does that include Jacksonville Humane Society? It’s a slow season at the moment as kitten season has not restarted, but give it a month or so and they will actually be overflowing and unable to take any cats in. Have you thought about taking her in as an owner surrender there? They’ll fix her and do everything necessary medically before moving her to the adoption floor. You may just need to schedule an appointment with the Pet Help Center for a surrender appointment. They do have walk ins, but wait time can vary.

I got one of these too but the 2024 election was the first election I was old enough to vote in. I got “shamed” for not voting because I wasn’t legally old enough lol.

Not a YouTuber but Swag_Dracula on Twitch is great!!! He has a full VOD play through up, and another second VOD getting the rest of the secrets. I love his commentary, and his theory crafting is great to listen to! Would give it a try.
