2. Help stem the population of feral cats on campus
The SBU Cat Network works to humanely trap, neuter, vaccinate, and care for the many feral cats that live on campus. Capturing kittens at this time of year often means they can be socialized and placed in homes. Capturing older cats means they can be spayed/neutered to avoid the birth of more cats who must fend for themselves outside. If you're interested in helping, please contact Nancy Franklin (nancy.franklin@sunysb.edu).
