I adore the opportunity to chat to and share the wonderful work being done by young people and in this episode I was so lucky to chat to Elena from Nashville Kitties.
Elena is only 17 years old and she is flying the flag high for the next generation of cat rescuers and fosters. For the past 2 years Elena has with the help and support of her family opened up her home to many fosters and given them a wonderful chance of a great life far removed from the streets where many of them were found.
Elena shares her story of how she started fostering, how easy it is to start and some tips on how to make your home foster friendly. With a little encouragement she believes anyone can try and maybe they just might like it. She filled me in on what it is like living in Nashville for her and many street cats.
Saving so many little ones has been an experience for Elena and she shares the up's and down's of letting the little ones go even if you have fallen in love with them. Understanding that letting go will free up a space for another one to have a home is crucial but hard none the less.
Elena is mature beyond her young years and in my opinion a complete breath of fresh air, doing what she does is out of nothing but love and kindness and really gives hope for the next and future generation that people can care and will do good in the world.
Please enjoy listening to this episode and go check out her Instagram page to follow her adventures with her kittens and just give her some support and thanks for what she is doing! Elena 🏼 (@nashville_kitties) • Instagram photos and videos
