Cats On Campus
Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership and Population Health
Welcome!
Click HERE for more information about our upcoming Spay/Neuter Awareness and Adoption Event on April 27, 2009!
Cats on Campus was founded in 2008 to promote the use of TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) as a means of reducing and managing the the population of feral cats on the University of Georgia campus. To learn more, click the "What We Do" tab on the left side of your screen.
First of all, we're not here to promote the killing of perfectly healthy animals. We're here to manage a problem that will always exist: feral cats. Because every feral cat is a descendent of or was once an abandoned pet, we're also here to promote responsible pet ownership.
We are committed to finding lifelong homes for kittens that would otherwise be euthanized. Click the link to the left to check out the most current adoptable kittens. Although their parents were feral, these kittens are perfectly tame and adoptable!
What else do we do?
Our main goal as a University of Georgia Student Organization is to promote the cause of our sister organization, Campus Cats. We plan to do this through:
- Education. When people know what we're really about, they're more likely to support our cause. To find out more about our cause and our organization, talk to a club member or check out the "What We Do" link on the sidebar.
- Management. Believe it or not, colonies of feral cats have already taken up residence on campus. Fortunately, we've spayed and neutered and vaccinated them already so that these colonies don't grow. Now we're taking the next step: lifelong care of feral colonies. This means daily feeding and routine vet care for every cat on campus for the rest of their lives.
- Fundraising. Even though we are a non-profit organization, spaying, neutering, feeding, testing, and vaccinating this many cats isn't free. We are constantly holding fundraisers to make kittens more adoptable and to ensure the health of cats all over Athens. Check out the "Fundraisers and Events" link to see how you can help!
- Membership Solicitation. We can use all the help we can get in this club! Contact an officer on the "Contact" page for more information about club meetings and how you can join!
Feedback
We're always open to new ideas. If you know of any way that we can promote our cause in a safe way or if you'd like to help out, please feel free to contact us!
