\"\"You may have heard of Sterling Davis by now\u2014the rapper who took a side job in a cat shelter to earn a little extra money and to hang out with some of his favorite \u201cpeople\u201d\u2014cats. When he realized the need in the field\u2014when he realized how many cats were actually fending for themselves\u2014he got involved in TNR (Trap\/Neuter\/Release). Now he\u2019s a full time worker and advocate for cats. Known as the TrapKing, he also educates children and adults in the need for and the process of TNR. In order to delight his audience, he often travels with his own three rescued cats, Bowie, Damita Jo, and Alanis Mewisette.<\/p>\n

When he isn\u2019t traveling or trapping, the TrapKing works with Java Cats Caf\u00e9 in Atlanta helping to find homes for the cats and kittens they rescue. This is a guy who seems to be all in for the sake and safety of cats.<\/p>\n

I like one of his quotes: \u201cYou don\u2019t lose cool points for compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are two stories about this dedicated man.<\/p>\n
