SUMMARY:Springtime Safety: Preventing Toxic Exposures in Kittens
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an essential 30-minute webinar\, Springtime Safety: Preventing Toxic Exposures in Kittens\, led by Rosemarie Crawford\, LVT. \nWhile our focus extends beyond lilies\, it’s crucial to note that a staggering 53% of cat owners are unaware that lilies are toxic to their pets*. With Easter approaching\, many households are likely to display lilies and other seasonal items that pose serious risks to kittens. \nThis webinar aims to equip fosters and caregivers with the knowledge needed to navigate these hazards and to emphasize the importance of educating new adopters about the safety of their adorable spring kittens. \nWe’ll cover the most prevalent holiday hazards\, including toxic plants\, festive foods\, and household decorations\, while providing effective prevention strategies and guidance on how to respond in case of exposure. Attendees will walk away with clear\, actionable insights to ensure the safety of kittens during the holiday celebrations\, along with the opportunity for a live Q&A. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance the well-being of our furry friends! \n* Cats Protection\, 2025 (https://www.cats.org.uk/media/onnnmi1h/cats-report-uk-2025_digital.pdf) \nClick here to register for this free webinar! \nPresenter: Rosemarie Crawford\, LVT\nNKC Co-Founder and Director of Educational Programs\nRosemarie Crawford is a licensed veterinary technician who has worked in animal welfare for more than 15 years.
