Focus on Feral and Free-roaming Felines

Friday afternoon will be dedicated to addressing and exploring the unique needs and characteristics of feral and free-roaming cats. This interactive session will feature experts in feral and free-roaming cat population control, population dynamics, and the latest in contraception and non-surgical sterilization of feral cats. Sessions will address:
    • What we know (and what we don’t know) about feral and free-roaming cat population dynamics.
    • How non-surgical sterilants should or might look different for free-roaming cats vs. confined cats
    • What hormonal contraceptives are available, and whether they should be used.
    • How we might make use of long-acting (i.e. three-years) contraceptives to control free-roaming cat populations?
