Dr. Jane Goodall called the book “remarkable.” \nKaplan will be in conversation with former WRIC Investigative Reporter\, Kerri O’Brien\, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. \nRegistration is required. Guests may purchase a $10 ticket\, all of which will be donated to the Richmond SPCA; or a $45 ticket\, which includes the donation plus a signed copy of Lab Dog. Books will also be available for purchase courtesy of Shelf Life Books. \nPurchase your tickets today and learn how these precious animals went from a lab to loving homes.

Learn more about the Richmond SPCA’s TNVR program. \nDuring this training\, Peggy will provide hands-on instruction for those wanting to help community cats through TNVR. \nRegistration for this free workshop is required. Pizza will be provided\, and advance signups ensure we make an accurate order.

SUMMARY:Kittens in Bloom: A Community Kitten Shower
DESCRIPTION:Admission: Suggested $20 donation or a gift of supplies from our kitten registry \nJoin us for an afternoon of light snacks\, crafts\, and games and help us prepare for the hundreds of kittens arriving at the Richmond SPCA this spring. \nEach spring and summer\, the Richmond SPCA cares for hundreds of tiny neonatal kittens — many just days old\, too fragile to survive without dedicated human care. Thanks to our incredible foster community\, most of these kittens are placed in temporary homes with volunteers rather than staying in the shelter. But before the season begins\, we need to stock our shelves. \nOur highest priority kitten season supplies: \n\nKitten Formula  Small | Large (Amazon)\nBaby Wipes: Amazon\nKitten Bottles & Nipples: Amazon\nLarge carriers: Amazon\nStainless steel litter pans: Amazon\n\nCan't make it? You can ship supplies directly to us from anywhere using our Amazon Wish List. \n
