Inside Cat Rescue: Challenges, Triumphs & Kitten Care Tips with Bethany Swiggs

What does it really take to rescue cats and kittens, and why does it matter? In this episode of The Natural Animal podcast, I sit down with Bethany Swiggs, founder of Big Dollan’s Fur-Rescue, to explore the heart, challenges, and triumphs of cat rescue.

Bethany shares her personal journey into animal rescue, why she’s so devoted to giving cats a second chance, and the realities she sees in the rescue world — from how organisations are run to the stigma and negativity cats sometimes face. We talk about how she’s working to create change, the importance of compassion and leadership, and the lessons cats can teach us about resilience and healing.

You’ll also get practical kitten care tips — what new adopters and foster carers need to know, plus simple ways anyone can support cat rescue work even if they can’t foster or adopt.

If you’ve ever wondered what life inside cat rescue looks like, or how you can make a difference for cats in your community, this conversation is both eye-opening and inspiring.
