The cats have commandeered the mic again!

We know you’re up to your ears in cats and the need for feline-focused management solutions is intense right now. Last month the Million Cat Challenge hosted a webinar, The Top Ten: Questions and Controversy with Community Cat Programs, to address your biggest CCP programming and messaging battles. It was a great presentation by three feline heavyweights—Maddie’s Director of Feline Lifesaving Monica Frenden, HSUS Senior Analyst for Cat Protection & Policy Danielle Bays, and Stray Cat Alliance Executive Director Christi Metropol—that dove right into all the hot topics. In one short hour, they covered everything from the “why” behind community cat programming to “how” to have the friendly vs. feral conversation with your community, and why we should move away from calling community cat programming by different names (i.e. TNR, RTF, SNR). Our time flew by so quickly there were still questions rolling in when the curtains dropped.

Thankfully, the all-star panel has agreed to visit CASCAR for an aftershow, this time joined by Shelter PALS founder and attorney Brandy Kuentzel to answer your California-specific lingering legal questions. We won’t have time to go through the entire presentation again, so definitely check it out before CASCAR if you haven’t already so we can dive right into the conversation and maximize our time with this great panel. Bring your staff, your questions, and your concerns—this is your chance to streamline your cat intake protocols and messaging!
