In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Dr. Kat sits down with Howard Baskin, treasurer and board member of Big Cat Rescue, to explore the past, present, and future of one of the world’s most influential big cat sanctuaries. Howard shares the personal journey that led him to become a passionate advocate for captive wild cats and gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at Big Cat Rescue’s decades-long mission to end private ownership and cub petting.  The conversation highlights the monumental passage of the Big Cat Public Safety Act in 2022 and the organization’s subsequent decision to relocate its remaining cats to a larger sanctuary. Howard talks candidly about what’s next for the organization as it transitions from direct rescue to national advocacy and sanctuary support. We explore some of the hundreds of areas of impact that Big Cat Rescue supports now, making the world a better place for wild cats and people. Listeners will leave inspired, informed, and empowered to take action for wild cats—and people. <b>EPISODE NOTES: </b>    <a href="https://petliferadio.com/ninelivesep149.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saving Wild Cats: A Conversation with Howard Baskin</a>Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nine-lives-with-dr-kat-cat-podcasts-for-cat-lovers-pet-life-radio-original--6667999/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nine-lives-with-dr-kat-cat-podcasts-for-cat-lovers-pet-life-radio-original--6667999/support</a>.
