Springtime is kitten time: A visit with The National Kitten Coalition

We would enjoy hearing from you.

My guest today is Dr. Emily Coleman, a veterinarian and the executive director of The National Kitten Coalition.

Dr. Coleman talks about the organization, including its history, when it was started, and its purpose and goals. In addition, She discusses The National Kitten Coalition's educational programs and the most pressing concerns of the organization.

Next, Dr. Coleman helps listeners understand why fostering kittens is crucial, as well as why people should consider fostering. She explains what potential foster parents should consider before bringing kittens in their home, plus special preparations kitten fosters need to make for kittens in their home. She also talks about her recommendations for daily monitoring of a kitten. 

The National Kitten Coalition website has an article about potential health issues when mixing kittens from different litters. Dr. Coleman explains why that is an important concern. She also discusses the kinds of health issues kittens are susceptible to and how can parents of kittens can reduce the chance of illnesses in kittens. 

Finally, Dr. Coleman talks about how can people deal with allergies to kittens.
