Deborah Felin Magaldi: What One Person Can Do When They Decide to Care
Sometimes the biggest changes begin with one small decision.
When Deborah Felin Magaldi stopped to help a neighbour care for a group of feral cats, she had no idea it would eventually lead to founding one of Southern California’s most respected cat rescue organizations. In this conversation, Deborah shares not only the realities of animal rescue but also what compassion, empathy, and community can accomplish when ordinary people step forward.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- How CatPAWS grew from one simple act of kindness
- Why kitten season creates such enormous challenges for shelters
- The life-changing impact of fostering cats and kittens
- How accessible spay and neuter programs save thousands of lives
- What to look for before supporting any charitable organization
- Why animal abuse and domestic violence are often connected
- The remarkable effect therapy animals can have in assisted living communities
- Why Deborah believes everyone can make a difference
- What “colouring outside the lines” has come to mean later in life
This episode may begin with cats, but its message reaches much further. It’s a conversation about empathy, purpose, and discovering that every one of us has the ability to improve the world around us.
