SUMMARY:Introduction to Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR)
DESCRIPTION:Through TNVR programs\, community cat populations are humanely managed. Compassionate volunteers trap cats in humane traps\, transport them to a veterinary hospital to be sterilized and vaccinated against rabies and return them to the location where they were trapped. \nThis work improves the lives of free-roaming\, unowned cats by preventing reproduction and addresses public health through vaccination. 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
