Join us on Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 12PM PT / 3PM ET for the webcast “Protecting Kittens from Feline Panleukopenia: Essential Strategies for Animal Shelters and Rescues.

Animal shelter and rescue organizations across the country often struggle to protect cats and in particular kittens from the infectious diseases that tend to rise as kitten season surges each year. This webcast focuses on safeguarding cats of all ages from feline panleukopenia (sometimes also called feline distemper or FPV), a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease. Veterinary experts will discuss disease recognition in individuals and within a shelter population, effective prevention methods, and best practices for managing outbreaks in shelter environments and foster homes.

Join Dr. Becky Stuntebeck, Facility Design and Outreach Veterinarian at the Koret Shelter Medicine Program and Dr. Uri Donnett, Lead Veterinarian at Dane County Humane Society and come away knowing how to implement effective prevention strategies within the shelter or foster homes, including proper vaccination protocols and sanitation measures and much more. The webcast will be moderated by Dr. Julie Levy, Fran Marino Distinguished Professor of Shelter Medicine Education at the University of Florida.

This webinar has been approved for 1.25 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, by the National Animal Care & Control Association and in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE).

Register now and afterwards, continue the conversation on Maddie’s® Pet Forum.
