Do you notice cats in your neighborhood that don’t seem to have a home? Have you found a litter of kittens and wondered whom to call? Join community cat experts Teri Monbureau and Christine Hernandez for a free workshop introducing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), feral cat management practices, local resources for feral cat spay/neuter, and proper use of humane traps. This workshop will offer the knowledge and skills needed to help feral kittens and stray community cats in your area.
This workshop is free and all ages welcome!
Christine started her cat career 7 years ago at the San Jose Animal Shelter socializing special needs/shy cats & kittens. Feeling she needed to do more to help prevent so many cats from entering the shelter, she immersed herself in TNR. To date 472 cats will not have litters of kittens due to to her trapping efforts. In addition to her TNR work, Christine cares for 5 community cat colonies.
Teri got involved with cat rescue 3 years ago volunteering for feral colony care with
13th Street Cats
. A few weeks of care and feeding of several managed colonies made her aware of the pronounced need for additional trappers to spay/neuter newly arrived community cats as well as to get sick or injured colony members to a vet for treatment. She attended a TNR training session, watched You Tube videos on trapping cats, and has been at it ever since!

Don't let the myths about cats fool you; cats can be trained! One of the best methods is Clicker Training, a rewards-based system for reinforcing behavior. Clicker Training can stop unappreciated behaviors such as scratching furniture and counter surfing, and can train cats to sit, shake hands, and do high fives! It helps scaredy cats overcome shyness, improves relationships between cats, changes cat carriers into fun places, and builds confidence.
Join Marilyn Krieger, The Cat Coach, as she introduces us to this powerful tool that is fun for everyone -- cats and their teachers. Marilyn is hopeful that with a little help from The Dancing Cat's felines, each of you will experience Clicker Training first hand

Receiving henna is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We are privileged to be hosting talented local artist Shannon Balco of Happy Heart Body Art. Come meet her and get a lovely floral, summer, or feline themed henna tattoo. Collectively, we will create auspicious energy supporting our cats finding wonderful forever homes. Feel free to bring your friends and your own favorite beverage (coffee, tea, etc).
