SUCCESS!

Cats and Cocoa/Dogs and Desserts was a HUGE success! We raised about $200.00, educated many students, promoted animal welfare, and just raised awareness about the overpopulation problem in Georgia, the South, and across the country!

Here are some pictures of our booth and of our furry friends! Thanks so much to Georgia Humane Society for letting us take out Sunny, Sheila, and Jasper for the day!

Feral Kittens Saved!

GT AWA has helped save three kittens on campus that were born to a feral mother. At 4 months old they were kicked out of their mothers terrirtory and in bad shape. After 3 months of socialization and domestication they were taken to the Georgia Humane Society where they were spayed and received all vaccinations. Two of the three have been adopted and they are all gorgeous girls. We are happy they are going to have safe, happy, and forever homes.

"Why do you care about animal welfare?: I've always loved animals. I grew up around people who really cared about animal welfare and really instilled that in me. I think it's super important to spread the word about animal welfare, animal rescue and adoption, and spay/neuter."

"Animals are not able to fully to take care of themselves in the man-made environment and I find it our duty to ensure that they are treated kindly and cared for, especially if we are going to keep them for pets. There is no excuse for animal cruelty and it is easy to prevent."
