Jennifer Pulling is a passionate defender of animal rights and founder of the Catsnip project for a catch/neuter/return policy and veterinary treatment of Sicilian feral cats.

After many stays in Sicily, Jenny remained horrified by the Sicilian local authorities answer to controlling the population of feral cats by poisoning them. She decided, with the help of several American vets and Dorothea Fritz, a German vet who lives in Naples, to organise neutering trips to Sicily. Today Catsnip remains a unique ‘first stop’ for tourists anxious about distressed or sick felines who seek advice and help.

As a writer and journalist, Jennifer has written and had published many articles on her mission to help these unfortunate felines. She has also published an educational book, which she takes round schools in Sicily, speaking to the youngsters about animal welfare and the need for neutering as the ONLY solution for the overpopulation of feral animals.

Jennifer is the Press Officer for Animals Worldwide, an international charity dedicated to preventing the cruelty of animals worldwide, particularly in the main tourist hotspots.
