300 Felines to offer neutering and veterinary treatment

Students in Canada have launched a new project to help stray cats by providing neutering, veterinary treatment and preventative health care.

Taylor Jacobs and Lindsay Russell are both studying for the veterinary technology diploma at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.

Through the university's vet tech program, a number of the region's homeless cats are already offered this type of help. But students wanted to reach a greater number of cats.

They started a crowd funding project and launched the 300 Felines campaign. So far they have raised more than half their target of $10,000.

Through this project, students hope to encourage others to be proactive in dealing with cat overpopulation.

Speaking to The Chronicle Herald, Taylor said: "The first time I was here and a cat came in and then to see the state it was in when it left, that was a huge inspiration.

"It means a lot to know that you are a part of that, that you were able to provide them (cats) with something they wouldn't get and to see the difference it makes in their lives. That was my inspirational moment."
