PAWS has dozens of great animals available for adoption every single day, and the only true way to appreciate them is to visit them personally!

Students who enrolled got to hear veterinarians talk about early age spay/neuter and the management/treatment of illness and injury in feral cat colonies. The effects of public policies and legislation on feral cats were debated as were solutions for humanely controlling feral cat populations, including the Maddie’s Fund Feral Cat Altering Program . Students even learned how to trap feral cats and afterwards, took them to participating veterinarians for spay/neuter surgery. The class was taught by Dr. Taimie Bryant. Although Bryant is a professor of law, she’s been an active feral cat advocate and on-campus trapper for years. Says Bryant, “The class was a huge success.
