The Online Kitten Conference is a virtual convention for anyone who’d like to create a better future for the smallest felines! Join us for this kitten-focused event presented by The National Kitten Coalition in partnership with the Community Cats Podcast. This two-day virtual gathering will feature presentations by experts on raising and saving kittens, setting up and managing kitten-centered shelter programs, and more. Since this is a virtual event, you’ll have an opportunity to gain valuable insights and have your questions answered by some of the most knowledgeable leaders in the animal welfare community—without the expense and hassle of traveling.
Early bird registration is just $50 (but increases to $75 in early May so don’t wait!) and includes access to the live event and recorded sessions after the event, as well as speaker slides, handouts, and more.
