I monitor feral cat colonies on TCU’s campus and managed feeding daily. I analyzed colonies for needs such as feeding, relocation, and eligibility for rescuing/fostering. I also collaborated with the team to trap, transport, provide veterinary care, and find eligible homes or proper release for the cats. As needed, I also tame feral kittens through daily socialization via food training, noise desensitization, touch practice, administering medicine/grooming maintenance, travel training, etc. so that they can be adopted.
