Your Gift Makes a Difference!
The Feral Cat Group at SMU oversees the campus cat population. Feral cats are defined as cats born and raised in the “wild” or that have been abandoned to the wild. Campus settings are ripe for the proliferation of feral cats. Volunteers, including students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members, ensure the cats are fed and watered, neutered or spayed, provided with shelter and generally cared for. SMU joins other universities across the country in using the veterinarian-approved TNR system (Trap-Neuter-Return) for managing the cat population. About 40 cats populate established colonies around the campus and University property.
Gifts to The Feral Cat Group at SMU help supply food for the cats, veterinary service for spay/neutering and vaccinations, shelters and feeding stations.
