    Are you on the front lines of sheltering? Do you know how to interact with families who are thinking of surrendering their cat due to behavior issues? Register now for the Surrender Prevention Certification Workshop on Wednesday, October 25 from 7 - 8:30 p.m. ET. 

     

    Learn more about Surrender Prevention and what you can do to help more cats stay in home with the people who love them

     

    Hosted by Community Cats Podcast, and presented by certified cat behaviorist Dr. Rachel Geller. Dr. Geller will share real examples, with proven results, setting the potential surrenderer and cat on the road to a happy relationship together and keeping the cat in her home. We’ll cover how to empathize with cat owners, working around their limitations (financial, time, patience) and focus on the 3 most common reasons for surrender: litter box problems, scratching (and not on the scratching post!), and inter-cat aggression. Take advantage of the interactive format, extensive handouts, and video footage of actual techniques. 

     

    The session is 1.5 hours, followed by an optional 15-minute Q&A session. Attendees will receive a certificate after taking a short quiz, as well as access to four additional training modules. Registration is $10. 

    PLUS, everyone who registers will also receive access to four (4) mini-courses, perfect for anyone looking to keep more cats in homes, regardless of experience level! Mini-courses will cover common behavior topics, such as:

    • Litter box issues
    • Scratching concerns
    • Introducing your new cat to your home
    • Introducing your new cat to your resident cat

    Scholarships are available! #ThanksToMaddie, we are pleased to offer complimentary access to the October session. Just fill out the form here:  https://forms.gle/EU3c6n18kTd5hHgb6

    Brianna, this is great! My organization helps fund these kinds of programs and it would be great to see more of them implemented across the country.

    Thank you!
