BIO:
Deborah Felin Magaldi is the Director of Helen Sanders CatPAWS, the Helen Sanders Cat Protection and Welfare Society, a nonprofit she helped build from the ground up in 2010. What began as a simple act of compassion, helping a neighbor care for feral cats, evolved into one of Southern California's most responsive and mission-driven cat rescue organizations. With a background in business (BS Psychology and MBA), Deborah brought structure, strategy, and heart to a volunteer-run organization that now operates with annual donations and grants.
Under her leadership, CatPAWS rescues at-risk cats and kittens from public shelters, provides low- and no-cost spay/neuter clinics, runs a nationally recognized DIY Kitten Care Program, and brings comfort to assisted living residents through its Traveling Kitty Comfort and Therapy Show. Serving Long Beach, Orange County, and the surrounding Southern California region, Deborah is guided by one unwavering belief: every cat deserves a full and cherished life, to the level of the organization's capacity.
