Ep165 - Laura Baughman
Interview! Laura Baughman, Director of Operations, National Kitten Coalition
"You're going to get a whole lot more kittens when you start a nursery."
As we enter "kitten season," Stacy talks to Laura about "kitten nurseries," a new and hot concept for management of neonatal kittens. Laura recently researched and wrote a manual for organizations thinking about starting their own kitten nursery that provides a complete blueprint for approaching this challenge. She notes that before an organization considers a kitten nursery, it should have a strong and capable fostering program in place. Then, it's important to identify the goals and realities of establishing a nursery, including budgeting, space, staff needs and access to medical care. Once you start a nursery, Laura observes, you're going to be a "magnet for kittens" and the task may be even more challenging than expected.
