Got this info in the United Pet Way Newsletter and I thought this is really cool that they are offering this. Figured this is a good place to share! If anyone has taken/will take this online course, I would be really interested to hear your thoughts.

Ruth Sharp, President of Neighborhood Cats: "Over the past year,
Neighborhood Cats has received an increasing number of requests from all
over the country to come teach our feral cat training workshop (now hosted
bi-monthly by the ASPCA in Manhattan) and for the workshop's written
materials. This inspired us to develop the on-line course. Now anyone
with Internet access, no matter where they live, can quickly learn the
basics of TNR and put it to work in their community."

The first interactive session, lasting 4 weeks, begins March 17, 2003, at
a cost of $19.95. Access to all the written content can be obtained right
away at a cost of $14.95.

That is great! I especially love the fact that TNR is becoming so popular that an online course is even necessary.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

If you look down the thread, Heidi posted this.

I guess great minds think alike....just post at different times!

:laughing:

Oops- oh well- sorry about the duplicate post, maybe heidi will merge them.

Heck Mary Anne, yours got more responses than mine anyway. When the Feral Fancier talks, people listen!

I'll go ahead and merge them, though, so we don't have duplicate threads.
