How to Trap Outdoor Cats and Get Them Ready for Winter Certification Workshop
Anywhere, USA (September, 2022) – Community Cats Podcast, in partnership with Neighborhood Cats, will host their monthly Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Certification Workshop on Saturday, October 1, 2022 from 2 – 4:30 p.m. EDT. This monthly
interactive workshop helps people learn how to help lost, abandoned, or homeless cats and kittens. Session duration is 2.5 hours followed by optional 15-minute Q&A.
Anyone with a passion for helping cats and kittens is encouraged to register and learn from trappers who have been in the field for more than 20 years. This workshop covers best practices for TNR and colony management, including all planning and preparations for successful trapping. There will also be time for questions from attendees, which will be answered in real time by the experts from Neighborhood Cats. Bring your toughest questions! All attendees will receive a certificate after taking a short quiz and gain access to an ongoing Facebook group to continue networking with other caregivers.
People of all experience levels are encouraged to attend. From absolute beginners to seasoned trappers, this workshop offers recommendations and advice that will ensure any trapping project is a success.
Registration is $10 and includes access to the recorded session, handouts, and certificate. More information about the webinar is available here. People interested in attending this online session can register here.

Last year I signed up for the CCP-Neighborhood Cats’ TNR Webinar to preview its usefulness for people brand new to the concept of sterilizing “uncatchable” community cats. I also thought it would be useful to “brush up” after 38 years away from trapping.
Boy, did I learn a thing or two!!
I highly recommend this to anyone just starting out, needing to brush up, or wanting to make sure they’re following “best practice”. Whether it’s for yourself, or for a program you oversee, it will be time and ten bucks well spent!
