Join the cat caretaking community for a virtual convention for anyone who’d like to help make spay/neuter services affordable and accessible in their community!
Join CCP and United Spay Alliance as they partner up to offer a three-day virtual conference that will focus on all aspects of spay/neuter. You’ll see presentations from all sorts of animal welfare experts on topics ranging from starting a low-cost spay/neuter program and funding spay/neuter services, to raising awareness in the community and more! You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, hear what works and didn’t work for professionals and volunteers from the community, and you’ll come away with new ideas to help you control the pet population in your area.
The cost for registration is $75 for all three days of learning opportunities!
Scroll down to see a list of speakers and topics from this year’s event with new speakers being announced soon!
