About this listen

 This week, we’re joined by the amazing Samantha Suppiah, a vegan stray cat carer and animal welfare organizer in Metro Manila in the Philippines. Today, Samantha talks us through each pillar of organizing mass biosecure spay and neuter events (called kapon in the Philippines), focusing on ensuring the safety of their patients via standardizing protocols and using methods such as social distancing. Samantha’s scientific approach to stray-centric cat care and neonate kitten care redefines the meaning of considerate and high-quality colony care. This ultimately led her on a journey of trying to run these events well but realizing she couldn’t guarantee their safety without the enthusiastic participation of vets and volunteers. After reflecting on her efforts, Samantha decided to end her plans to organize these kapon events and closed this episode with a take-home message of - if you can’t do it safely, don’t do it at all.
