TIME: 10:00AM-5:00PM EDT.
Kittens require specialized care, which is why Community Cats Podcast and The National Kitten Coalition have partnered to present a conference dedicated exclusively to caring for the tiniest felines. Over this two-day event, animal shelter professionals, caregivers, fosters, and kitten enthusiasts will come together to deepen their knowledge and sharpen skills for raising healthy kittens and running successful kitten programs.
Sessions will cover a wide range of topics, from socializing feral kittens for adoption and managing foster programs to exploring innovative initiatives that empower communities to care for kittens of any age. Featured speakers include respected experts in kitten care, representing a wealth of experience from across the animal welfare community.
Registration is just $75 and includes access to the live event, recorded sessions afterward, speaker slides, handouts, and more. Space is filling up quick—so don’t delay!
