SUMMARY:Pet Loss Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Pet Bereavement\nOur pets are important members of the family. They are devoted companions who give us their unconditional love and acceptance. For a pet caregiver\, the loss of a companion animal can be one of life’s most difficult experiences. When we lose a beloved friend\, it often helps by sharing our feelings with others who have also experienced a similar loss. \nFor more than 25 years\, Kathy Reiter has helped pet owners cope with their loss through Pet Loss Support Group meetings at local shelters. \nKathy is recognized as the area’s leading authority on pet loss. Kathy is a psychiatric social worker with a specialty in grief and bereavement. She has appeared on Good Morning America\, CBS News with Dan Rather and PBS. Kathy has also been featured in The Washington Post\, Better Homes and Gardens\, Good Housekeeping and other widely-circulated magazines. \nKathy was instrumental in establishing the hospice movement in the United States and was directly responsible for the construction of the first hospice in Arlington\, VA. While the Arlington hospice was being built\, Kathy’s beloved cat\, Prince\, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While being experienced in human loss\, Kathy was now faced with impending pet loss of her animal friend. Kathy turned for help\, for resources\, and yet found none. Through her own personal experience\, Kathy came to realize the need for pet loss support\, and generously offers her gentle support to anyone who is grappling with such a loss. \nThe support group will meet quarterly at 7:oopm on the second Wednesday of the month beginning on October 14\, 2015\, in the shelter’s Education Room. There is no charge to attend these meetings\, and all are welcome. No reservations are required. \nPlease enter through the Education Room door\, not the main shelter entrance as we are closed to the public starting at  7:00pm.

SUMMARY:Care of "Bottle Baby" Kittens
DESCRIPTION:The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) has have joined forces with the National Kitten Coalition; a nationally recognized leader in the field of neonatal kitten care\, to prepare\, train and support volunteers interested in fostering these tiny babies. \nWhen neonatal kittens (less than five weeks old) are brought in\, many shelters are forced to euthanize them due to a lack of resources and/or trained volunteers. This does not have to be the case. We at AWLA  are committed to giving these fragile souls the best chance possible for survival.  With well-trained staff and volunteer fosters\, these neonatal and under-aged kittens can be- and are- saved. \nThe mission of the National Kitten Coalition (NKC) is to increase the survival rates of rescue kittens through education and training.  They work with all the industry leaders to provide the most up to date information and advancements on how to care for these babies.  The founders of NKC\, including AWLA’s  2015 Volunteer of the Year\, have decades of hands-on experience helping thousands of the most fragile kittens. \nThe Animal Welfare League of Arlington has run a successful fostering program for 10 years which has saved more than 2\,000 kittens. The need for dedicated and trained foster care providers is constant. By sponsoring these workshops\, the League hopes to increase the number of foster care providers available to all of the animal shelters in the region. \nCome learn how you can help with this life-saving work at a training session at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. Online registration is required. There is no registration fee\, but a donation of $25 would greatly help defray costs.
