SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/14/24 - Maddie’s Insights: Beyond "Doing Better" - Using Behavior Data to Monitor Well-Being in Cats - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Safeguarding the well-being of cats is essential to the mission of any responsible animal shelter. Environmental enrichment and behavior modification are often key to this goal. Measuring response to these interventions is essential to ensure strategies are successful. This webinar will present 4 ordinal rating scales designed to evaluate different expressions of cat behavior/welfare on a 0–5 scale (modified Fear\, Anxiety\, and Stress score; Response to Petting score; Participation in Play score; and Food Intake Summary score) that have excellent interobserver agreement and reliability\, and a few other tools to describe behavior in a quantitative way. These tools are exceptionally useful to evaluate the response individual cats have to specific interventions\, make decisions about which interventions should be tried first by looking at what was effective in cases presenting similarly in the past\, and evaluating the efficacy of different interventions across a population of similar cats in a research project. \nRegister: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording after the webcast. \nThis webinar has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. It has also been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) approval. \nWhat attendees will come away with: \n\nAn understanding of the value of using standardized rating tools to evaluate behavior and welfare in shelters\nThe ability to identify a range of practical applications for these tools\, in both in the shelter and beyond\n\nSpeaker: \nJacklyn Ellis\, PhD\nDirector of Behavior\, Toronto Humane Society \nJacklyn Ellis is board certified by the Animal Behavior Society as a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist\, is Certified in Shelter Behavior – Cat by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and is the Director of Behavior at Toronto Humane Society.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/14/24 - What We’re Learning with Community Programs - HASS
DESCRIPTION:What are leaders of community-centered programs in Baltimore and Dallas learning as they work with people and pets beyond the shelter?

How do you work with your community members to understand what they need and to divert intakes by offering community resources; and how are these leaders reaching towards understanding their impact? \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/2616740581796/WN_1jBTDPpdQyeM20kz1H0pPg
