Seattle Humane Society sets Kitten Kindergarten course

Registration is underway for the first ever Kitten Kindergarten training class in the state. Offered by the Seattle Humane Society, the class is open to kittens between the ages of 8-20 weeks. The course will provide structured socialization and basic training, such as teaching “sit” and “come.”

Kittens in training will be safely introduced to friendly dogs, children, and other new experiences. Socializing kittens will help them thrive and become well-rounded and outgoing adults, humane society officials say. Practical topics, such as prevention of furniture scratching and appropriate litterbox training, also will be covered.

The three-week course begins on June 4 from 7-8 p.m. at the society’s Bellevue facility located at the junction of I-405 and I-90.

Register by calling 425-641-0080 or fax the registration form (available at www.seattlehumane.org) to 425-747-2985.

The course costs $50.
