19 Cats and Counting Episode 80 The Surrender Prevention Workshop – Dr. Rachel Geller
Published 3 years, 3 months ago
Description
Linda and Rita welcome back their favorite cat behaviorist, Dr. Rachel Geller, who is here to talk about her new course. In cooperation with the Community Cats Podcast, Dr. Rachel is teaching a class that we as a community need; the Surrender Prevention Workshop!
What is Surrender Prevention and why is it needed? 134,400 cats are surrendered yearly to US Shelters for behavior problems. And we are sure that is a conservative figure. Pet parents sometimes get overwhelmed and think they have tried everything to change their cat’s behavior; then get to the point of feeling hopeless to solve the issue. So, they turn to surrender, because they lack the knowledge to truly fix the behavior alone. Often, they feel surrender is only solution, no matter how much they love their cat.
Dr. Rachel’s class is designed to help rescues, shelters, and individuals help assess a potential surrender, and offer free resources to help keep that cat in their home. Learn how you can become a certified Surrender Prevention Specialist, and how you can use this knowledge to help keep cats (even your own) in their homes.
Listen as Rita and Linda discuss the course, which the Cat Behavior Alliance ladies will be taking themselves!
