Camp Maddie: Kitten Edition 2025

Prepare for Kitten Season with expert guidance!

​Camp Maddie is back and this time it’s all about the kittens! ​This half-day session​ on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM PT​ is designed to equip participants with essential skills and knowledge to tackle the challenges of the upcoming kitten season, which is expected to be particularly demanding. Most kittens in the US are born to free-roaming community cats. With shelters already stretched thin, this event will provide critical insights from ​industry experts to help organizations scale up their responses to meet the needs of more vulnerable kittens in their communities. Learn from national professionals Dr. Julie Levy, Marnie Russ, Monica Tarant, and Tabitha Kucera.

Topics will include:

  • The role of community cat programs in saving kittens
  • Developing kitten foster programs that are effective, safe, and fun
  • Medical protocols tailored for kitten care in shelters and rescues
  • Behavior and socialization protocols for raising confident, friendly kittens

Join us for this invaluable opportunity to learn from the best in the field and ensure you are prepared to make a difference in the lives of more kittens this season!

This event includes an opportunity for more time with the presenters at a follow-up live question and answer session on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM PT. This will provide time for your team to catch up on any sessions they may have missed from the first day, to browse the extensive collection of supporting documents, protocols, and forms, and to bring forward any remaining questions and obstacles encountered in enhancing your kitten programs.
