SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/18/26 - Springtime Safety: Preventing Toxic Exposures in Kittens - National Kitten Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an essential 30-minute webinar\, Springtime Safety: Preventing Toxic Exposures in Kittens\, led by Rosemarie Crawford\, LVT. \nWhile our focus extends beyond lilies\, it’s crucial to note that a staggering 53% of cat owners are unaware that lilies are toxic to their pets*. With Easter approaching\, many households are likely to display lilies and other seasonal items that pose serious risks to kittens. \nThis webinar aims to equip fosters and caregivers with the knowledge needed to navigate these hazards and to emphasize the importance of educating new adopters about the safety of their adorable spring kittens. \nWe’ll cover the most prevalent holiday hazards\, including toxic plants\, festive foods\, and household decorations\, while providing effective prevention strategies and guidance on how to respond in case of exposure. Attendees will walk away with clear\, actionable insights to ensure the safety of kittens during the holiday celebrations\, along with the opportunity for a live Q&A. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance the well-being of our furry friends! \n* Cats Protection\, 2025 (https://www.cats.org.uk/media/onnnmi1h/cats-report-uk-2025_digital.pdf) \nPresenter: Rosemarie Crawford\, LVT\nNKC Co-Founder and Director of Educational Programs \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://kittencoalition.org/event/springtime-safety-preventing-toxic-exposures-in-kittens/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/19/26 - There's No Place Like Home: How to Advocate for Pet Inclusive Housing - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Families surrender beloved pets to shelters every day because people can’t find housing for the whole family. This is a major issue for pets\, people\, communities\, shelters\, and rescues — and it’s a problem we can solve together. \nRegister to join live on Thursday\, March 19 at 4pm ET. \nLearn about innovative pet-inclusive housing advocacy efforts around the country\, and leave with new solutions for communities and organizations of any size. We’ll dive into ordinances\, coalitions\, relationships\, data\, and how to persuade elected officials that pet-inclusive housing isn’t an animal welfare issue — it’s a community welfare issue. \nOur three panelists will share insights based on years of experience: Shannon Glenn\, Executive Director of My Pit Bull is Family\, on innovative approaches in Minneapolis; Jamie Blackburn\, Housing Policy Specialist\, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA)\, on state-level work to break down housing stability barriers; and Kathleen Murphy\, Policy Analyst\, Best Friends Animal Society\, to highlight national trends to inform and inspire your next steps — Kathleen is also a former Metro Nashville councilwoman. Arin Greenwood\, Senior Strategist\, Network and Advocacy Communications\, Best Friends Animal Society\, will moderate. \nWhether you’re new to housing advocacy or already working with a coalition to pass pet-inclusive housing laws\, this webinar will give you confidence\, inspiration\, strategies\, and tools to help more pets and people in your community be together in homes. Bring your questions for the Q&A! Save your seat and join live. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://bestfriends-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/4917520773897/WN_BwUVeYo4SwugXsHyWmmpKg#/registration
