Animal Welfare Professionals

How often does your organization take in cats that are super scared?

Some cats are scared for a few days, other cats for a much longer period of time. While they're often not a large percentage of our cat population, unless we have solid plans to help them these cats can end up staying with us for a while.  Join Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection on Thurs February 27 at noon PT/3 pm ET where we'll learn from Dr. Jacklyn Ellis about how she and her team support these cats at Toronto Humane Society.  

In November 2024 during a Maddie's Insights webcast, Dr. Ellis spoke to us about her research regarding monitoring cat well-being.  She referenced her behavior modification program for fearful cats during this session, so we decided to invite her back for another session where she could talk about her program in more detail!
