Stacy interviews Bridget about some of the thorniest questions surrounding community cats:  how do you assess whether a cat is owned, feral or a community cat, when should you intervene with a cat versus letting it be, and how to help rescues and shelters make smart choices about which cats to take in.  She describes the unique mission of the Missing Pet Partnership:  educating owners on prevention and recovery of lost pets.  As she puts it, “losing your pet is a once in a lifetime event…no wonder owners freak out and have no idea what to do.”  MPP’s Operation Rescue is a program that seeks to help shelters do a better job reuniting pets and people.
