We all know kittens are at risk during transitional periods. In fact, they remain the most vulnerable species to enter our sheltering systems. That’s why the Million Cat Challenge and Royal Canin have partnered up to bring shelters an all inclusive, tip-to-tail free webinar series that explores community-focused sheltering strategies that expand our kitten safety net.
Join experts as they dive into new and emerging kitten intake philosophies and discuss when kittens are best served outside shelters walls, streamlining your foster program, providing mom and kitten support, pediatric spay and neuter and successful adoption strategies that will send these tiny cats out the front door two by two.
Register now to save your spot and watch live every Thursday @ 12pm PST! Series runs from the first Thursday in August (8/6/20) through the first Thursday in September (9/3/20).
