Understanding Spicy Cats: Fear, Stress & the Path to Trust

Some cats shut down in shelters. Others hiss, swat, or go silent. But beneath the “spicy” label is almost always one thing—fear. In this episode of Animal Posse, Dixie sits down with Berlin Waters of The Spicy Cat Project to break down why so many cats struggle in shelter environments, how fear is often mistaken for aggression, and what rescuers, fosters, and adopters can do to help stressed cats feel safe again. This episode is essential for anyone working with cats—rescuers, fosters, adopters, or anyone who’s ever wondered why a sweet cat can suddenly seem “spicy.” Links: • The Spicy Cat Project: https://thespicycatproject.com [https://thespicycatproject.com] ABOUT ANIMAL POSSE 🐈 Welcome to Animal Posse!

Saving Community Cats: Using Your Unique Skills for Rescue Success

Think you can’t help animal rescue because you’re allergic, live in a small apartment, or don’t have the time to foster? Think again. In this episode, Dixie sits down with Tammy Kaehler, Development Coordinator for Love Your Feral Felines (LYFF).

It takes a village of specialized skills to keep the engine running.
