Cats and Dogs - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Seven out of 10 American households own a pet, generally a dog or
cat. This has created a huge pet care industry and unlimited
opportunity for creative, animal loving entrepreneurs. It has also
led to an unfortunate side effect little loved animals,
particularly cats, wandering our streets. Angela Schifani is
Development Director of Cat Haven, a non profit cat rescue
organization that was founded in 1999 in response to a community
need for comprehensive rescue, foster, and adoption services for
cats and kittens in Baton Rouge. When Cat Haven began, it was the
first rescue organization to spay and neuter pets before adopting
them to new homes. Today, it continues this practice and partners
with local spay neuter programs to ensure population control and
quality of life for both animals and people in this city. Since its
inception, Cat Haven has saved more than 12,000 cats and kittens.
