Zamira Guerra, Vicky Pape and guest host Jasmin Singer on "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Thursday, May 11, 2023.

We’ll be talking all about cat overpopulation. Nationwide, close to two-million kitties are killed each year, most often because they simply have no home to go to.

But there are solutions. From the desperate need for more affordable spay and neuter, to the life-saving importance of foster care and adoption, to the question of whether TNR work can help control feral populations, we’ll cover the most pressing issues in the cat rescue communities in Rochester and beyond.

Our expert panel will tackle a mighty problem that is very likely happening in your very own neighborhood. Our guests:

  • Vicky Pape,  Director of Animal Placement for Lollypop Farm
  • Zamira Guerra, serves on the Board of Directors for RocKats
Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
Jasmin Singer is the host of WXXI’s Weekend Edition and Environmental Connections, as well as a guest host for Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Connections.
