SPCA-NN's Kitten Kindergarten! Week 4: Understanding and Supporting Kitten Play


Big Lessons for Little Kittens Raise a confident, well-adjusted kitten through trust, communication, and positive experiences. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’œ SPCA of Northern Nevada is excited to introduce Kitten Kindergarten, a six-week foundational course designed to help kitten parents better understand feline behavior and strengthen the bond they share with their kittens. Led by SPCA-NNโ€™s own Alyssa Bennion, this course focuses on understanding behavior through communication rather than correction. Participants will learn how kittens communicate through body language, play, environment, and routine โ€” while gaining practical tools to support healthy emotional and behavioral development during one of the most important stages of a catโ€™s life. Whether youโ€™re raising your first kitten or simply want to build a stronger relationship with the one you have, this class is designed to help both kittens and their people feel more confident together. Why Kitten Kindergarten Matters Kittens are constantly learning from the world around them. Early experiences, handling, play, and environment all shape how they grow, communicate, and respond to new situations later in life. Kitten Kindergarten was created to help build strong foundations through patience, observation, and trust-based interaction โ€” giving kittens the tools they need to thrive while helping pet guardians feel more connected and confident along the way. What Youโ€™ll Learn Each week builds upon the last, helping kittens develop confidence while teaching pet guardians how to better understand and respond to their needs.
