SNIP in Action: Francine Guillot’s Fight to Fix Iberia Parish

Francine Guillot of the Spay Neuter Iberia Project (SNIP) joins the Animal Posse Podcast to share a raw, boots‑on‑the‑ground look at what it really takes to fight pet overpopulation in Louisiana. From reviving a dormant nonprofit to rescuing special‑needs kittens like Gump, Francine walks us through the daily challenges, emotional wins, and community gaps that shape animal welfare in New Iberia.She breaks down how SNIP approaches TNR, works with local vets, supports elderly residents who feed but can’t afford to fix, and pushes for accessible spay/neuter options in a parish overwhelmed by stray cats and dogs. You’ll hear stories of wall‑trapped kittens, trap‑smart ferals, transport programs, and the relentless determination required to make even the smallest dent in overpopulation.This episode is a testament to the power of volunteers, compassion, and community outreach—and a reminder that one success story can keep an entire mission moving forward.SNIP Website: snipiberia.comEmail: snipiberia@gmail.comAbout Animal Posse 🐈Welcome to Animal Posse!
