Cats are abandoned more frequently than any other companion animal in the United States. This has led to increased numbers of feral cat colonies throughout the country, as well as in southern Florida. What can be done to address the welfare of feral cats?

Attend this workshop to hear from experts about what is being done to manage feral cat colonies in southeast Florida. Share success stories, challenges, and strategies for long-term solutions with others engaged in improving the welfare of Florida's cats.

Read about other adult education workshops.
