TNR Certification and Return-to-Field Webinars in November

TNR is a lot more than trapping, neutering and vaccinating, then returning a cat to its caretaker. Returning a cat to its caretaker is also part of “return-to-field” practice, returning a friendly cat to its caretaker who is physically and emotionally thriving even if living outdoors rather than surrendering it to a shelter, for instance, because it’s better for a cat to continue to thrive than be stressed or even in danger of euthanasia in a shelter. The two webinars this month include TNR information and certification and an outline of return-to-field practices. I’ve done the TNR workshop and also gathered information on return-to-field practices with these webinars.

November Events to Help Outdoor Cats & Kittens

Anywhere, USA (October 28, 2022) – Community Cats Podcast, in partnership with Neighborhood Cats, will present two sessions in November, perfect for anyone with a passion for helping cats and kittens:

  • Saturday, November 5 – Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Certification Workshop
  • Saturday, November 12 – Return-to-Field & Targeting Educational Webinar

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Certification Workshop

First, the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Certification Workshop will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 2 – 4:30 p.m. ET. This monthly interactive workshop helps people learn how to help lost, abandoned, or homeless cats and kittens. Session duration is 2.5 hours followed by optional 15-minute Q&A.

Anyone with a passion for helping cats and kittens is encouraged to register and learn from trappers who have been in the field for more than 20 years. This workshop covers best practices for TNR and colony management, including all planning and preparations for successful trapping. Plus tips for preparing colonies for winter! There will also be time for questions from attendees, which will be answered in real time by the experts from Neighborhood Cats. Bring your toughest questions!

All attendees will receive a certificate after taking a short quiz and gain access to an ongoing Facebook group to continue networking with other caregivers.

People of all experience levels are encouraged to attend. From absolute beginners to seasoned trappers, this workshop offers recommendations and advice that will ensure any trapping project is a success.

Registration is $10 and includes access to the recorded session, handouts, and certificate. More information about the webinar is available here. People interested in attending this online session can register here.

Return-to-Field & Targeting programs

Then, on Saturday, November 12 from 2 – 4 p.m. ET people can enjoy a free webinar on Return-to-Field & Targeting programs. They will learn more about these approaches, and how they can be used to save lives and reduce the number of cats living on our streets. Registration is free and is available here.

I subscribe to a variety of reading lists to constantly further my knowledge of health and welfare for cats and other pets, domestic animals and wildlife. I occasionally publish press releases I think my readers will appreciate, and I share them by choice with no compensation. When I am occasionally compensated for a post I clearly note that is a “sponsored post”.
