SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS — Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is educating licensed veterinarians and students at the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine on high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) techniques for cats starting March 22.
The special presentations are part of the Alley Cat Allies Veterinarian Training Program™ to train students of veterinary medicine to provide critical services to community cats, or unowned cats who live outdoors.
“Veterinarians are vital to the movement to protect and improve cats’ lives, and we’re proud to do our part to train the current AND next generation,” said Coryn Julien, communications director for Alley Cat Allies. “The Alley Cat Allies Veterinarian Training Program is about honing veterinarians’ and students’ knowledge and skills on the unique care needs of community cats. Then, they can hit the ground running with TNR—the most impactful way to help cats and communities.”
On Friday, March 22, beginning at 12:00 p.m. AST, Alley Cat Allies is presenting at Ross University about High-Quality, High-Volume Spay and Neuter techniques for cats.
On March 22 at 5:30 p.m. AST, a second presentation will cover Efficient and Effective Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) Programs for community cats and kittens.
Since its founding in 1990, Alley Cat Allies has helped veterinary professionals develop best practices and familiarize themselves with treating community cats and carrying out TNR. The goal of its Veterinarian Training Program is to help both experienced and novice veterinarians bring the most effective TNR techniques to their communities.
