Ep68 Cheryl Ann Fernandes
Interview! Cheryl Ann Fernandes, Regional Shelter Care Representative, PetLink Drawing on Cheryl Ann's diverse, 25-year career in animal welfare, she and Stacy have a wide-ranging discussion about the challenges of being an urban animal control officer, the persistent challenge of "compassion fatigue" for all of those working in the field, and the innovative idea that microchipping can save the lives of not just pets, but community cats. She explains that, from a colony keeper's perspective, if you can microchip the members of your colony, you can identify which cats have had the vaccinations and treatments they need. This may reduce the risk of these community cats getting picked up and stuck in "the system". Making chips and scanners financially and widely accessible is part of her current role as a shelter care representative at Pet Link. For more information please visit petlink.net.
