Ch-ch-change is in the air and it’s not just the weather! Thank you to the hundreds of you that were able to attend this pair of webinars live last month. We were so inspired by the conversations that took place during and directly after the shows, and we’re even more invigorated by the messages that have been rolling into our inbox in the weeks that have followed.
Together we’re pushing ourselves to take a more critical look at the ideas, language and policies that leave us feeling like we’re spinning our wheels and, instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, we’re doing something about it!
Don’t get left out of the conversation: Watch this double feature and let us know how things are changing, or how you wish they could change, for the cats in your neck of the woods. We’re always here for a good cat chat.
Monica Frenden-Tarant, HSUS Senior Analyst, Cat Protection & Policy, Danielle Bays, and MCC co-founder Dr. Julie Levy gave great tips on how to match our storytelling to our mission when it comes to cats (Hint: those abundant cat overpopulation pyramid infographics aren’t doing us any favors, so think twice before you share them—according to mathematicians and scientists, an unaltered cat might have around 95 kittens over 7 years, not 370,092!).

In this webinar, Maddie’s Director of Feline Lifesaving Monica Frenden-Tarant joins UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program Director Dr. Kate Hurley to talk about how we can work together to get #allthecats back home, whether home is outdoors or in and whether that cat is friendly or not.
- Get clarity on all the acronyms we use to talk about community cat programs—RTF, RTH, TNR, SNR—and hear why the only term we really need is Return to Home.
- Plus, learn how to enlist your community to help keep more cats alive and thriving and why indiscriminate impoundment of cats is not only harmful to the cats, but to marginalized communities.
