About this Webinar from ASPCA [Recorded May, 20, 2020 - 60 minutes]
​
Response to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the animal welfare community together in an unprecedented way to assess the services we provide to our community and to evaluate our protocols and processes. This need for assessment and evaluation was particularly important for our intake and care decisions for neonatal kittens. We will review the existing best practices that provide a consistent foundation for success in neonatal kitten care as well as discuss which practices adopted during the pandemic response are likely to withstand the test of time.
