Kathy Stevens, Founder and Director of Catskill Animal Sanctuary, spent her childhood on a Virginia horse farm, years that instilled in her a deep love of and respect for all animals. Yet she also saw the ugly side of an industry that uses animals as commodities: animals raced too young, pushed too hard, and sent to auction when they could no longer perform. Little did she know how such a childhood would shape her future! Kathy Stevens received her M.A. in public policy and education at Tufts University. After being an educator for nearly a decade, Kathy became the founder and director of the Catskill Animal Sanctuary. Kathy’s first book, Where the Blind Horse Sings shares the life-changing lessons learned from a blind horse, a sheep, a pig, and a rooster, and received much critical and popular acclaim. It has just been released in paperback after three hardcover printings. Her second book, Animal Camp, will be released in August 2010. Her blog about her life and work as the Director of Catskill Animal Sanctuary can be found at www.casanctuary.org. Since its inception in 2001, CAS has rescued over 1,700 desperately needy animals, and has worked frequently with law enforcement to bring animal abusers to justice. CAS has been featured in national and regional media such as The New York Times, Good Morning America, and NBC Nightly News. Kathy lives behind the barn with her dog Murphy and her cats Fat Boy and Mouse.
