Sparrow Marcioni/Cat Rangers

CatRangers is a 501(c)(3) licensed urgent need animal rescue that was founded in 2005. CatRangers rescue began as a two year long feral cat program with the Corp of Engineers at Lake Lanier, GA when a large colony of feral cats was mandated for destruction. Through group efforts and cooperation among many humane organizations, almost all the cats were rescued and properly spayed or neutered.

Today, Catrangers has rescued over 6,000 cats and kittens and placed them in loving homes, provided medical care for countless others, and assisted many families in feeding and caring for their furry family members. This includes many seniors and special needs kitties who would truly have no other place to go. That’s why CatRangers was founded as the “Special Forces” of cat rescue.

CatRangers rescues only animals that are facing imminent euthanasia or other life threatening event. These can be shelter animals on death row, abandoned animals, or even those caught up in a family crisis. CatRangers works primarily through their Adoption & Visitor Center in Buford, Georgia, where rescued kitties can recover before finding their loving forever homes.

Everything You Wanted To Know About SBA Loans

00:00 /

Regions Business Radio” covers financial topics such as banking and lending, mortgages, wealth management and more. The program also allows listeners to get to know some of the top executives from Regions Bank.

Hosted by J.D. Mealor, Senior Vice President and North Georgia Market Executive, all episodes of “Regions Business Radio” are available for download on Apple iTunes, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you enjoy your favorite podcasts.

On this episode, J.D. discusses SBA loans with Caroline Taylor, SVP of Credit Products and Head of Small Business Admin with Regions Bank.

Caroline Taylor/Regions Bank

The U.S. Small Business Administration is committed to furthering the growth and development of small businesses. One of the ways it does this is by guaranteeing loans to small businesses made through lending partners nationwide. Regions Bank is both an SBA Preferred Lender and one of America’s most experienced SBA lenders. The SBA does not make loans directly to small businesses. Rather, it sets guidelines for loans, which are made by lending partners nationwide, including banks and economic development organizations. For the SBA(7)a and SBA Express loans, the SBA guarantees a percentage of the loan, minimizing risk to the lending partners and increasing the possibility that small businesses will receive the funds they need. Please contact a Regions banker to discuss qualification criteria, potential fees, and whether an SBA loan can fit your business needs. All loans and lines of credit are subject to credit approval.
