Austin Peay State University caring for feral cats with Paws to Care program
Clarksville, TN – The campus of Austin Peay State University is home to more than 15 feral cats and kittens, and members of the university community are doing their part to both care for and provide a home for APSU’s feline family.
Rather than removing or adopting out these feral cats, the mission of Paws to Care is to provide a stable cat colony on campus.
By providing spaying and neutering services, as well as treating them for rabies and other illnesses, the territorial-minded cats help prevent the community from growing out of control.
