The most vulnerable animals in shelters are also the most adoptable.
In this episode of Top Dog Podcast, we talk with Marnie Russ, founder of the National Kitten Coalition and creator of Kitten College — a groundbreaking program focused on saving neonatal kittens through education, foster support, and scalable systems.
After a successful career as an international aerospace lobbyist, Marnie shifted her focus to animal welfare — building one of the most impactful neonatal kitten programs in the country.
In this conversation, we explore: • Why neonatal kittens are the most at-risk population in shelters • How Kitten College is transforming foster programs nationwide • Breaking down barriers to fostering through education and support • Scaling lifesaving programs for shelters of all sizes • Turning passion into a national movement
Marnie shares how simple, structured systems — combined with the right education — can save thousands of lives and empower everyday people to foster with confidence.
