Taking Troubled Tabbies From Naughty To Nice
Every rescue encounters troubled cats with issues that go beyond tortitude. The Cat Behavior Team will teach you how to prevent behavior problems before they start, ensure mental wellness in a shelter environment, and will prove that even the naughtiest of kitties can find, and keep, a forever home! Under-socialized, bites, won’t use a litter box? We’ve got a team for that, and so can you! This program was part of the American Pets Alive! 2015 No-Kill Conference.
