ASPCA Pro Course (30-minutes):  How to Successfully Foster Undersocialized Kittens

Happy and well-adjusted kittens are virtually irresistible to people and have a much easier time getting adopted. However, undersocialized, fearful kittens are harder to adopt out and, without appropriate intervention, may become full-grown scaredy-cats with even fewer placement options. 

That’s when foster families can come to the rescue! This 30-minute course will walk your foster caregivers through 5 mini-lessons that will turn fearful kittens into cool cats:

• Defining Undersocialized Kittens
• Feline Body Language
• Setting Up & The First Few Days
• Understanding Choice & Rewards
• The Four-Step Socialization Plan
