will we be able to watch this webinar after it’s LIVE?

Absolutely! You will receive an email with a link of recording

thank you, Milena

I would love to see the online orientations you offer! I've thought of introducing them to our foster program!

We are wanting to start online orientations as well. Do you have any examples?

We will share more information in a few slides. We will aso share a link at the end to our website where you can access previous webinar recordings and see the upcoming ones!

I know you said there will be a future webinar on the on deck system, but do you have any current materials to help explain this system? I have been looking for an "up to bat" system for kitten fosters, but don't know how to start and track such a thing.

I am wanting to start doing foster orientation online. This is great!

online orientation would be super helpful

Kerry Ann May - Thank you for brining up the Feline Fostering Group. This is a great resource and a place to share tips and tools

Please move closer to the mic. There's a bit of an echo.

Hi Cynthia, we don't hear an echo on our end. Are you still hearing it?

I also hear the echo.

echo not as bad with my volume lowered

If you're having trouble with audio, you might try calling in from a phone and only using computer for the visual. Call in: 669-900-6833 OR 646-558-8656Webinar ID: 257-418-493

Hi Jennifer, registration is now open and we will share a link at the end where you can register :)

Thank you, Susan!

Is this also available to canadian rescues?

Belynda Reneau

Belynda Reneau... Miss Kitty Feline Sanctuary .. Thomasville GA

Cant wait until March 12th!

If we were registered last year are we automatically registered this year or do we need to sign up again?

participating in this webinar, do we need to join at the aspcapro@aspca.org

We joined last year but never got any information after the first webinar?

Hi Kathy, you will need to register again

Where can I find information on how you conducted your pilot?

Hi Kris, sorry to hear that!

Can we ask Q’s on this chat, or are these pre-submitted Questions?

Please email us at aspcapro@aspca.org if you run into any issues

We don’t have trouble with fostering, but rather, getting kittens adopted. We’re a small, independent rescue group with no shelter in our county, so trying to get them adopted on our own and it’s very difficult. Any specific tools to help?

How do I join the Facebook group. It states it is a closed group, but does not show how to join.

What advice do you have for best practices for contacting fosters, when kittens come in?

Ashley - you will receive an invite once you join the campaign!

Do you have to complete a home visit, as required by the state, for each new foster home?

Great. Thank you

tina.redington@aspca.org

tina.reddington@aspca.org is Tina's email if you want to reach out!

Do you limit the number of kittens that can go into a foster home?

We are having a hard time finding bottle baby fosters how do you get them?

Do you have resources for keeping track of all fosters, kittens in foster, and other record keeping?

Please note two Ds in her last name (Tina.Reddington@aspca.org)

Many of these questions will also be great for the Facebook Group so our experts can chime in AND you can all share ideas with each other! :)
