  • 1.  Neonatal nursery protocols

    Posted 06-07-2026 05:55 PM

    I attended the Maddie's Neonatal Nursery Apprenticeship at Austin Pets Alive about 7 years ago. I'm wondering if there's a way to get updated protocols now? There used to be a Facebook group but I know that closed to move over here and I haven't been able to get added to that group here. Anyone know anything? Thanks!

    Hi Mandy,

    This is something that National Kitten College is working closely with the Shelter Medicine Programs to put together.  We recently launched this guidebook that is a living library so will be updated in real time.    Do you have an active, in house nursery or are you looking more for updated kitten care?

    We don't have a nursery, we're all foster-based and take in about 1,000 neonates a year. Mostly looking for their updated medical protocols. We based ours on theirs and have heard that there are updates, but haven't been able to see them so far.
