Broward County Library's summer learning program circles around “Tails and Tales”. What better way to celebrate those wonderful “tales” than to spend a Caturday in the company of Jackson Galaxy!
Broward County Library (BCL) is dedicated to providing quality programs to entertain, educate and stimulate life-long learning. This year, BCL’s summer learning program circles around “Tails and Tales”. What better way to celebrate those wonderful “tales” than to spend a Caturday in the company of Jackson Galaxy!
Popularly known as “The Cat Daddy,” Jackson Galaxy is the host and executive producer of Animal Planet's long-running hit show “My Cat From Hell.” Jackson, an animal advocate and cat behavior and wellness expert, is also a two-time New York Times best-selling author with more than 25 years of experience working with cats and their guardians. He is on a mission to educate people about cats and deepen the human and cat bond while reducing the number of animals that end up in shelters.
Long before Jackson was known as “The Cat Daddy,” the working musician found he had a unique ability to connect with cats when he took a job at a local animal shelter. During the decade that followed, he worked with thousands of cats, successfully lowering the euthanasia rate at his shelter. His work at the shelter led to a private practice of working with cat guardians and cats in their homes, which helped keep cats out of the shelter in the first place, and became the premise for “My Cat From Hell.” An immediate hit, the show has been a broadcast staple for ten seasons and has become a global phenomenon, placing Jackson at the forefront of a worldwide obsession with all things feline.
Jackson has been featured on 20/20, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with Steven Colbert, The Tonight Show, EXTRA, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, and more.
If you would like to help Broward’s homeless animals, Broward County Library Hollywood Branch will be accepting donations such as unopened animal food, unopened bags of litter, and bowls for food and water. BCL is collaborating with Broward County Animal Care and Adoption through August 21, 2021. Please call 954-357-7760 for more information.
