Liz Houtz has trapped over 5,000 cats and helped countless others through her organization, Cats in Action, a grassroots TNR initiative based in Chicago. In this episode, she shares how it all began, why Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane solution for community cats, and what doesn’t work — like feeding bans and trap-and-remove. We talk about the realities on the streets, how to support caretakers, and the impact that one person can make with a trap, a plan, and compassion. Whether you’re involved in rescue or just discovering TNR for the first time, this conversation will open your heart and your eyes. Learn more about Cats in Action here: catsinaction.org.
