Curl Up with a Cat Tale with Gwen Cooper

Charlotte Maxwell-Jones

On an unforgettable new episode—more than five months in the making!—Gwen speaks with Kabul Small Animal Rescue founder and director, Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, and hears her firsthand account of her harrowing attempt to evacuate Afghanistan with nearly 300 rescue animals back in August, and the heartbreaking moment when she was turned back at the Kabul airport. Charlotte was finally able to successfully airlift 286 dogs and cats to safety in Canada just this past week, and she also tells us about everything that went into that five-month-long, nearly superhuman effort. Plus: what the future holds for Charlotte and for Kabul Small Animal Rescue. Listen now!
