In this episode, Kathy Stevens and Kelly Mullins discuss:

Kelly’s journey from a meet-and-potatoes family to becoming the Animal Care Director at Catskill Animal Sanctuary.
What it takes to be the Animal Care Director of an animal sanctuary.
Recognizing the emotional life of animals.

Key Takeaways:

Terms like “cage-free” and “grass fed” are marketing ploys to try and convince people to buy meat and animal products.
A sanctuary’s job is to ensure each animal thrives as much as possible.
There is no typical day in a sanctuary due to the nature of the work.

“Enrichment for these animals is just as important as warm straw, food, and water." – Kelly Mullins Connect with Kathy Stevens: Facebook: facebook.com/kathy.stevens.CAS, facebook.com/catskillanimalsanctuary Twitter: twitter.com/CASanctuary/ Books: https://store.casanctuary.org/collections/books/products/where-the-blind-horse-sings Website: Catskill Animal Sanctuary Instagram: instagram.com/catskill_animal_sanctuary/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/CASanctuary
