PennyFix on the Community Cats Podcast
We’re honored to share that Carrie Weber, PennyFix board member, was recently featured on Episode #647 of the Community Cats Podcast with host Stacy LeBaron — a thoughtful, mission-driven conversation about what animals really need, and how a simple penny can help give it to them.
In this heartfelt interview, Carrie talks about PennyFix’s innovative approach to funding spay and neuter services; not through major grants or unpredictable donations, but through a sustainable, commonsense solution: a one-penny surcharge on pet food sales. That one cent, multiplied across millions of purchases, could fund vital surgeries for pets across the country. Whether they’re in loving homes, still waiting for one, or community cats.
But the conversation goes deeper than logistics. Carrie and Stacy reflect on the heart of animal welfare; compassion, listening, and showing up for animals in ways that honor their real needs.
“It’s not what we think they need — it’s about what they actually need. And sometimes, that’s just food and space to be left alone.”
— Carrie Weber
