Jumpstart Nature is a new nonprofit using multi-media to inspire action by all. We offer podcasts, and are working on a new personalized app to guide people in developing a sense of agency and progress in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss.
But the most important thing is to NOT let your cats outdoors in the first place. And if you notice outdoor cats breeding, contact your local TNR organizations IMMEDIATELY. Feral cats are no longer adoptable after eight weeks old.

We discuss TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), which many wildlife advocates intensely dislike. But when done thoroughly, and targeted, it actually works. Multiple bird observatories and Audubon chapters have partnered with academics and TNR organizations to show this.

Cats are NOT native species. Ecologists consider them invasive species. And they are predators. Letting them outside is bad for their health and your health (look of toxoplasmosis - it's dangerous to unborn babies and adults).

Our guests include a wildlife biologist, vet, and a TNR advocate. All are also cat owners, and wildlife lovers, allowing us to create a balanced look at this complex issue.
