Start of Animal Care & Control Appreciation Week- THANK YOU!
Animal care and control officers are first responders who are endowed with a unique opportunity: not only do these hardworking people tirelessly protect the welfare of helpless animals that endure injury, disease, abuse, and starvation, but they also protect the people in their communities by enforcing animal control laws, preventing the spread of disease, educating the public on proper pet care.
What we know about pets and SARS-CoV-2:
The American Veterinary Medical Association put an updated statement addressing the SARS-CoV-2 in animals, including pets. This statement provides some excellent information that provides clarity to many of the questions we have heard from animal services staff, volunteers, and the community at large.
Cat and Kitten Intake During the COVID-19 Pandemic
One of the main concerns we have been hearing this week surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic is timing. No time is ideal, but on the precipice of puppy/kitten season, really?!?
COVID-19: Suspending Spay/Neuter Surgeries TEMPORARILY
For years all of us in the Animal Welfare field have fought to gain traction and support for spay/neuter services in its varying iterations, most especially pre-adoption sterilization performed by our agencies or community partners to assist in the reduction of pet overpopulation and unintended breeding. Now amidst the rest of the chaos that has come from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are being asked and asking our agencies and partners to stop this essential service in an effort to conserve medical supplies.

NACA Board Member Elections 2020 NACA Board of Director’s Election Notice NACA members will vote to fill four (4) regular Board of Directors, three (3) year term positions during the 2020 election. ...Dear NACA Members and Stakeholders,
It is with great regret and disappointment that today we are announcing the difficult decision to cancel the NACA 2021 Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada, next year.
As you know, 2020 marked the first time in 40 years that NACA did not hold an Annual Conference. We recognize the magnitude of this decision for our association and our membership. Unfortunately, due to the uncontrollable situation we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic, we had no other choice.
Our annual conference brings together hundreds of passionate animal care & control professionals and exhibitors. We come to learn, to celebrate the work of our membership, and to provide opportunities for our profession to explore and connect with others. While this is a setback for us, the NACA Board of Directors will be exploring ways to continue bringing these valuable resources to you.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation will cause and look forward to actively working with you to support and improve the animal care & control profession.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at admin@nacanet.org
