Feline Enrichment Unleashed: Creative Strategies for a Healthier Cat
In recognition of National Pet Obesity Awareness Month, we are delving into creative enrichment strategies that can help cat caregivers manage their feline friends’ weight and support their overall wellbeing.

Join Tabitha Kucera RVT, VTS (behavior), CCBC, KPA-CTP, Elite FFCP-V, to discuss a variety of non-food-based techniques designed to keep feline patients active, mentally stimulated, and engaged.
