Shared insight into the rewards and challenges of hand rearing
Hand rearing kittens can be both rewarding and demanding, requiring time, skill and consistent support. This session provides an opportunity to explore the realities of hand rearing kittens, drawing on shared experience from across animal welfare settings.
This Q&A session has a question-and-answer format that brings together a panel of animal welfare peers. The discussion explores practical considerations around hand rearing, including the training and support foster carers may need and how organisations can put processes in place to support effective, welfare-focused practice.
We know that approaches to hand rearing will vary depending on organisational context, capacity and resources. The session is designed to support reflection, confidence and shared learning, rather than offering a single prescriptive approach.
