SUMMARY:Webinar – 9/15/25 – Effective\, Efficient\, Economical: How to Step Up Your Sanitation Game – UC Davis KSMP
DESCRIPTION:Strong sanitation is the backbone of healthy shelters—it protects animals\, safeguards staff\, and saves lives. But doing it right can be resource-intensive\, stretching time\, people\, and budgets thin. That’s why Dave Hachey\, President of Ogena Solutions\, first brought us Accel/Rescue\, and why he’s now doubled down with Sheltr-Partners.org\, a not-for-profit created to negotiate better prices specifically for animal shelters and rescues. \nAt this conversation with Cynthia Karsten\, DVM\, of the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program\, you’ll hear the story behind Sheltr-Partners.org\, how free membership works\, and the benefits shelters are already seeing. You’ll also get an inside look at the newest\, most economical hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant. Join us to discover innovative sanitation tools that are helping organizations save major time and money\, and plug in your own numbers to see what resource savings are possible for your team. \nThis webinar has been approved for 1 hour of Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) continuing education credit by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (AAWA) and National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA). \nCan’t make it live? Register to receive the recording and resources after the event\, accessible through the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program Shelter Learniverse\, #ThanksToMaddie! \nRegister here: https://www.shelterlearniverse.com/webinars

SUMMARY:Online Training - 9/20/25 - Return-to-Field: Saving the Lives of Community Cats - Community Cats Podcast (small fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It used to be that a feral cat had little chance of exiting a shelter alive after he entered. But that’s no longer the case. In recent years\, more and more shelters have adopted Return-to-Field (RTF) programs. Instead of euthanizing healthy community cats (whether feral\, friendly or otherwise)\, the shelter will spay or neuter\, eartip and vaccinate\, then return the cat back to where he was found. \nWe’ll cover the policies behind RTF\, the mechanics of implementing the program\, current controversies over the RTF of friendly cats\, and how to combine RTF with TNR in general to lower cat populations and create sustainability. \nTake advantage of the interactive format\, extensive handouts\, and real-life video footage from actual projects. Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and access to a dedicated Facebook group for ongoing networking with fellow TNR advocates. \nThis session is led by Susan Richmond\, Executive Director\, and Bryan Kortis\, National Programs Director\, and lasts 2 hours\, followed by an optional 15-minute Q&A session. Registration is just $10.00. \nThis course/webinar/series/conference has been approved for Continuing Educational Units by the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA). National certificate holders can submit for credit consistent with the NACA CEU policy located https://nacatraining.org/continuing-education-recertification/ \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/events/return-to-field-saving-the-lives-of-community-cats-presented-by-neighborhood-cats-sept-2025/
