Subject: (What to know about Community – Feral Cats) (If you work with cats, then this webinar is for you. Join us, educate yourself and make an even bigger difference)
Dear Animal Welfare Advocate
Community cats (feral/unowned/stray) are often misunderstood, leading to conflict, unlawful actions, and unnecessary suffering.
Across South Africa, well-meaning individuals, estates, body corporates, and property managers regularly face challenges around feeding, trapping, fostering, and managing cats in shared (public and private) spaces — often without a clear understanding of the law, ethical responsibilities, or humane alternatives.
To address this growing need for education and clarity, Unique Welfare invites you to attend an online seminar designed to provide practical, lawful, and ethical guidance on community cat management.
Understanding Community Cats What to know about Community – Feral Cats A Practical Seminar on Law, Ethics, Welfare and Humane Management

Date: 7, 14, 21 and 28 March
