researchers are looking for current foster parents of young kittens (7-9 weeks
of age) to participate in an online survey and conduct a short in-home
behaviour test with the kittens! Participation will take approximately 30
minutes to complete.
**Consent for involvement of the kittens in this research project must first be given by the affiliated shelter**
This study is part of Courtney Graham’s PhD research at the Ontario Veterinary College, which focuses on understanding factors that influence kitten behavioural development while in foster care.
