Are you into boots-on-the-ground cat rescue – or do you want to be? Then pounce on this second annual two-day celebration of cat rescue and the unsung heroes behind it. Enjoy seminars, advanced and master classes that walk you through setting clear, ambitious goals for you and/or your rescue, then providing the skills to achieve them. Plus, you’ll be able to build a life-saving network through social spaces, breakout sessions and informal activities while connecting with event sponsors and feline industry professionals.
