In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni welcomes Amanda Jeney, founder of Cali Cats Rescue, to share how a roadside encounter with three abandoned kittens led to a full-scale rescue operation in rural Pennsylvania. Amanda talks about the early days of fostering, the transition to starting a 501(c)(3), and the challenges of helping animals in underserved areas.
They discuss the rescue’s foster-based model, the development of a new brick-and-mortar space, and how their community room will provide enrichment and better visibility for adoptable cats. Amanda also shares insights into the importance of trap-neuter-return (TNR), public education, and building a strong volunteer network.
With a grand opening scheduled for May 18th, Amanda outlines plans for future community classes, partnerships, and outreach—emphasizing the impact of education in preventing cat overpopulation and improving animal welfare.
