When the open admission MSPCA made one seemingly small, easy-to-implement change, the positive impacts on intake and adoptions were immediate. What’s more, the change helped staff and volunteers innovate new adoption promotions and develop creative solutions to finding homes for cats with the most challenging litterbox and behavior issues.

In this free Million Cat Challenge webinar, Director Mike Keiley of the Noble Family Animal Care and Adoption Center MSPCA at Nevins Farm and Bryn Conklin Rogers, program manager for the MSPCA Boston Adoption Center, share what happened when they introduced seemingly small changes at the shelters - and how you can learn from their experience!

In Return-to-Field programs, healthy neighborhood cats are sterilized, vaccinated, and returned to the location of origin as an alternative to euthanasia. RTF has been a powerful force for feline lifesaving in communities all across the country. Shelters have seen dramatic decreases in feline intake and equally dramatic increases in live release rates.

What does implementing those programs look like from a “boots on the ground” animal control officer perspective? How do RTF programs really work, when you get down to the nitty gritty?

In this webinar, Tim Reeder, Animal Services Officer for the City of Huntsville, Alabama, covers: How to implement a program How to adapt the program to meet the community’s needs The decision-making process for individual cats Determining suitable locations for RTF And more!
