Why This Conference? Why Your Organization?
The Problem
- Very young kittens, particularly neonates, are highly vulnerable to life-threatening diseases and have unique critical care needs.
- Many organizations have started kitten nurseries to care for them. Approaches vary, depending on the organization’s or community’s resources.
What works? What doesn’t?
Is a kitten nursery right for my organization?
How can we improve the kitten nursery we have?
How can I volunteer to help at-risk kittens, especially “bottle babies”?
