Cats are extremely sensitive to noise, crowding, and stress – three things that
are in abundant supply in many animal shelters. These adverse conditions often
lead to illness in sheltered cats, particularly the most common of all feline
shelter diseases, upper respiratory infection (URI).
The good news is that with a “feline wellness renovation project” – decreasing
crowding and reducing stress – you can drastically cut the incidence of feline
URI in your shelter's cat population.
Maddie's InstituteSM is pleased to announce the second in a two-part series on
feline URI in shelters: Fixing the Feline Housing Crisis: How Shelter Housing
Can Make Cats Sick - And What You Can Do About It. Join us for this free
webcast on Thursday, October 25, at 9 PM Eastern, presented by Dr. Sandra
Newbury of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at the UC Davis School of
Veterinary Medicine.
Attendees will learn:
* How to understand the natural behavior of cats
* How to set up shelter housing to reduce stress
* The importance of giving cats a place to hide when stressed or fearful
* The impact of housing cats near dogs
* How improvements in noise levels, light cycles, and enrichment can
benefit cats
* Temperature, air quality and ventilation requirements for URI
prevention
