Fixing the Feline Housing Crisis: How Shelter Housing Can
Make Cats Sick – And What You Can Do About It It's a feline housing
revolution – and it’s helping stop shelter cat upper respiratory infections
in their tracks!Image removed by sender. large_box_bottom.gif
Image removed by sender. spacer.gifCats 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 * How to understand exposure risks * How to set up
separation and isolation for sick cats Individuals attending the live
webcast will be entered in a door prize drawing for one of ten copies of
Maddie's® Animal Shelter Infection Control Manual! Fixing the Feline
Housing Crisis: How Shelter Housing Can Make Cats Sick - And What You Can
Do About It, is part of an ongoing series of educational programs from
Maddie's Institute, a program of Maddie's Fund®, the nation's leading
funder of shelter medicine education. Maddie's Institute brings cutting
edge shelter medicine information from universities and animal welfare
leaders to shelter veterinarians, managers and staff as well as private
practice veterinarians, rescue groups and community members to increase the
lifesaving of homeless dogs and cats community-wide. _
