"It's very important to try to be diplomatic and to try to understand their point of view. . . . You have to be understanding." This episode is sponsored in part by Dr. Pussum's Cat Nip, Doobert, and Maddie's Fund. In this episode, Stacy chats with Angela Campbell, a USA Today best-selling author in the romantic suspense genre. Her book series, The Psychic Detective, heavily features rescue pets as supporting characters. In addition to writing professionally, she serves on the board of directors for Feline Lifeline. In her conversation with Stacy, Angela talks about her experiences as an author and a board member. She shares her preferred method of trapping, along with some helpful TNR tips and tricks. She also strongly encourages TNR training for those interested in trapping (as opposed to trial and error). Angela believes that a crucial component of TNR is in how we interact with the community, and she stresses the importance of learning to work with them. "When you are calm, understanding, and polite, a lot of people react to that, and you can work out a deal."
