Welcome to our Shelter Industry Events Calendar! Here, you’ll find a variety of webinars, learning opportunities, online meetings, and national events focused on animal sheltering and related interests. While some events are hosted by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, most are organized by other groups and agencies. Please note that being listed here doesn’t mean we’ve reviewed the material.
We’re here to provide you with a range of resources to help make your life easier. For more details about any event, feel free to contact the organizer directly (you’ll find their info in the event description).

Across the country, dedicated funders and organizations have invested significant time and resources in spay/neuter, TNR, and colony care to improve the lives of free-roaming cats. But after years of hard work, it’s time to ask: Are we making the most of our efforts? Are today’s strategies achieving the scale of impact we need – or is there a better way to help even more cats?
Join us on Tuesday, July 29 for a live webinar with the authors of the new report, Free-Roaming Cat Management: A Funder’s Guide to Better Impact, commissioned by the Summerlee Foundation. This timely report takes a step back to assess where we’ve been, what’s working, and how we can align our resources for even greater results.
Learn what the research tells us, explore key recommendations, and consider how the animal welfare field can move forward – together – with renewed clarity and purpose.
Bring your questions and join the conversation about where we go from here. Read the full report at TheCatReport.org
THIS SESSION WILL BE RECORDED.
