Webcast: Language That Harms Cats

When:  Aug 18, 2021 from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM (PT)
Associated with  Animal Welfare Professionals
How we talk about cats can influence public attitudes and behavior, so it is important to consider the words, images and stories we use - particularly when we are trying to change the way the public views and responds to our work.

Does the term "feral" hamper efforts to gain public support for community cat programs? How might your fundraising appeals accidentally create backlash against those same programs? In this fast-paced and thought-provoking webinar from Million Cat Challenge, we'll see how we often talk about cats may actually be bad for them and make our work harder. We'll have time after the webinar for discussion and figuring this out together. Plus, there may be bingo!  To play along, download the Bingo Card PDF and cut out one of the cards before the webcast!
