There are hundreds of homeless cats and kittens on the Stony Brook campus. Without our intervention they would continue to suffer the ravages of winter, starvation, disease and auto traffic.

Our mission is to humanely trap, neuter and vaccinate all of the feral cats on campus. Adoptable kittens and cats are found homes, and unadoptable ones are re-released into their colonies and fed daily for the rest of their lives.

The SBU Cat Network consists of a small group of volunteer students, staff, and faculty, and doesn't have the resources to take in or help with cats from off campus. If you're a member of the larger community and need help with feral or stray cats, go to resources for advice and help.

Have you spotted a cat on campus? Contact us and tell us where you saw it, what it looks like, and (if you happened to see) whether it had a v-shaped notch at the top of its left ear.

We have provided the colonies around campus with insulated shelters, most of them hand-built by our volunteers. The cats take great pride in their homes and have decked them out very tastefully. Take a look!

The Stony Brook University Cat Network is a volunteer organization run by agreement with, but not funded by, Stony Brook University.
