About the Expert Instructor
What's my story?Â
I spent 18 years jet-setting around the world implementing non-profit educational initiatives through award-winning productions that engaged more than 450 million people. I've created high impact initiatives with many international organisations including the UN, UNESCO, WFP and National Geographic.
But... just outside my own doorstep I would regularly find hungry and vulnerable stray cats. 6 years ago I decided to do something about it... That something mushroomed into the formation of 1001 Paws animal welfare organisation that is championing efforts to end needless suffering for stray and abandoned animals.
In the last 6 years, I've successfully controlled stray cat numbers in 32 urban areas and established 'No-Kill' Managed Colonies for 2,800 cats, handled more than 2,000 feline TNR (Trap Neuter Return and Rehome) and organised more than 4 million meals for animals.

I'm teaching real techniques, not theory  Â
In this course, I'm teaching you everything I've learned in setting up successful Managed Cat Colonies, reducing cat numbers, saving lives and helping transform properties and resident wellbeing.
My 6 years with thousands of hours in rescue and cat colony management and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent... compacted into this 9 hour course.
