| Kittens are all over the internet, but overpopulation in real life is a major feline welfare issue. |
Do you work with cats? The Cat Protection Society have
put together an educational resource for veterinarians, including a package
about early-age desexing.
Early-age desexing or EAD is one strategy to reduce the
problem of unwanted litters (others are ensuring all cats are microchipped so
they can be returned to their owners if they become lost, and yet another is
adopting cats from shelters).
The education resources have been put together by a team,
including myself, and are aimed at veterinarians, nurses and shelter staff who
wish to help cats. To find out more, click here.
Do you live with a companion animal in an apartment? More
and more Sydneysiders do. I see a number of clients each week who have concerns
about living in an apartment with a companion animal – whether it’s a worry
about noise or a landlord who has told someone after they’ve moved in with an
animal that companions of the non-human kind are not allowed.
The City of Sydney is again offering a free Strata Skills 101 workshop on Tuesday
May 23 from 6-8pm. Strata Paws is presented by Dr Joanne Righetti, an animal
behaviour consultant at Pet Problems Solved, and facilitator Robin Miles,
Director of Social Equity Networks.
This workshop would suit pet owners about to move into an
apartment, those in apartments who have acquired a new companion animal anyone
living in an apartment thinking about living with a companion animal (it’s
always good to do your homework first). It is useful whether you own your
apartment or you’re renting.
To register, click here.

101 program, check out the website.
