Pawareness Podcast # 55 | The Impact of Grassroots Initiatives | Luxe Paws

In this episode, we welcome Jacquie Navratil, founder of Luxe Paws. Jacquie shares how Luxe Paws takes a unique approach in treating and helping cats in their community. By partnering with local businesses, they focus on helping cats from a grassroots level. That means spreading awareness about the cases and situations of stray cats in the neighborhood, and conducting local events to inform people about their initiatives in trap-neuter-return.

Jacquie also shares how Luxe Paws has utilized social media to inquire about the whereabouts of stray cats. To help reduce the cat population in their neighborhood, they asked people the location where stray cats are commonly found. She also emphasizes the impact of education in the local community when it comes to treating cats and rescuing them. It also helps a lot to encourage people to engage and to provide the right resources to achieve success.

“Spay/neuter is not a handout, it’s a lifesaver.” - Jacquie Navratil
