Camp Maddie: Kitten Edition - Navigating the Kitten Quandary in Community Cat Programs – On Demand

Recorded On: 03/04/2025

Community cat programs are the cornerstone of feline lifesaving, but what happens when we come across kittens? How do they integrate into the broader community cat framework, ensuring fast yet responsible action for orphaned, socialized, or unsocialized kittens? This session will explore the critical decisions around returning or admitting kittens, and the unique challenges they pose, offering key insights for running a successful, kitten- inclusive community cat program to assure the right outcome for every cat.

Key takeaways:
1. Understand the role of kittens within community cat programs: Participants learn how kittens fit into the overall strategy for managing community cats and the key differences in handling them versus adult cats.2. Evaluate intake versus return options for community kittens: Attendees are equipped with decision-making tools to determine when to intake, foster, or return kittens based on their socialization, age, and health status.

3. Recognize the special care considerations for kittens in community programs: Participants explore the unique needs of kittens, including health, socialization, and development, to ensure proper care while aligning with community cat program goals.

4. Apply best practices for fostering and adoption pathways for kittens: Attendees gain insights into creating effective pathways for fostering and adoption that work within the community cat framework.
