Ep166 - Jocelyn Bouchard
Interview! Jocelyn Bouchard, Executive Director, Yavapai Humane Society
"How do we elevate the status of cats?"
Jocelyn's work in animal welfare began as a vet tech in a spay/neuter clinic in Vancouver BC in the 1980's, when high volume clinics were cutting edge. Twenty years' experience living in Maui fueled her belief that managing colonies, including feral kitten socializing and the tracking and removing of tame abandoned cats, is as important as TNR for decreasing numbers. Jocelyn discusses her insights and goals for her recent work at Yavapai Humane Society in Prescott Valley, Arizona, and the differing challenges community cats face in Maui versus Arizona, two vastly different environments. She also discusses her battle against negative perceptions of feral cats through education, in hopes of bridging the gap between the cat reputations as wild versus domestic.For more information, visit yavapaihumane.org or contact Jocelyn at jbouchard@yavapai.org
