Who we are

We are a volunteer group of Bakersfield College employees, students, and community members who work to provide long-term care and management of feral cats at the Bakersfield Community College campus in Bakersfield California, USA. Our program is modeled after numerous successful programs at other educational institutions around the United States.

Our mission:

To humanely capture the campus feral cats, identify them, test them for infectious diseases, vaccinate them, provide spay/neuter, and release them to their capture location for care and maintenance by designated Campus Cat Coalition (CCC) caregivers.
To establish and maintain feeding locations where CCC volunteers provide regular meals and observe the feral cats.
To provide foster care and rehabilitation of kittens and socialized adult cats. These cats will then be adopted out to carefully screened owners.
To promote community awareness of animal population issues and promote responsible pet ownership.
To work closely with the campus administration to provide an environment that allows for the humane treatment of the campus cats while providing some relief to campus grounds personnel. The goal is to provide a "win-win" relationship.
