Roundtable 1: Elevating the Standard of Cat Care
​
-
Do you have firsthand experience in cat behavior, sheltering, rescue, veterinary medicine, TNR, fostering, humane education, or pet sitting? We're seeking 4-6 cat advocates to join a dynamic panel discussion where we'll explore the welfare and wellbeing issues facing cats themselves. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate volunteer, we want to hear your real-world perspectives and brainstorm solutions to improve cat care and wellbeing.

Roundtable 2: Caring for Advocates
​
-
This roundtable recognizes that a thriving cat advocacy movement depends on the wellbeing of its advocates and a supportive community. We'll explore burnout, compassion fatigue, and isolation, while examining how to create a more sustainable and inclusive field for those dedicated to cats. We seek 4-8 panelists with diverse backgrounds: 1) cat advocates (those with firsthand experience in rescue, shelter, TNR, fostering, veterinary medicine, cat sitting, behavior, etc.) and 2) mental health professionals with experience supporting animal welfare advocates. Together, we'll seek solutions for fostering resilience, promoting self-care, and building a stronger, more connected network that values all.
