The cat caretaking community is gathering together this October for a virtual convention for anyone who’d like to help make spay/neuter services affordable and accessible in their community!
Join the Community Cats Podcast and United Spay Alliance as they partner up to offer a two-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.
Scholarships to the United Spay Alliance Online Conference are also available! Thanks to our generous sponsors we’re offering scholarships for anyone interested in attending. Visit our scholarships page, fill out the form, and tell us why you want to attend. The scholarship includes access to the live event and recorded sessions. If you’d like to take advantage of this scholarship – don’t wait – opportunities are limited. We would like to thank the Joanie Bernard Foundation and Feline Fix by Five for making this scholarship opportunity possible!
