She founded Operation Catnip\, a community cat trap-neuter-return program that has spayed\, neutered\, and vaccinated more than 80\,000 cats in Gainesville since 1998. A decade later\, she joined Dr. Cynda Crawford to launch Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at the College of Veterinary Medicine. This educational and discovery initiative has a global impact on the care of homeless animals and served as the academic home for development of the Fear Free Shelters program. She later teamed up with Dr. Kate Hurley to start the Million Cat Challenge\, a shelter-based campaign that saved more than 5 million cats in shelters across North America and then Maddie’s Million Pet Challenge to create transformative “communities of practice” that deliver access to care through humane community-centric programming-inside and outside of the shelter-to achieve the right outcome for every pet. \nDr. Rebecca Stuntebeck\, MS (Becky)\nBecky is the Facility Design and Outreach Veterinarian for the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis. She has consulted with many shelters across the country as well as worked as a shelter veterinarian at two private shelters in Wisconsin. In addition to facility design her interests include shelter data\, proactive population management\, infectious disease prevention in shelters\, and building relationships with folks across the sheltering field. Outside of work she enjoys petting kittens\, getting outside\, and reading. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband\, daughter\, 1 aged moggy\, and 1 rowdy mutt. \nDr. Uri Donnett\,  DVM\, MS\, DABVP \nDr. Donnett is the Chief Veterinarian at the Dane County Humane Society in Madison\, WI.
