Stony Brook University’s Pre-Veterinary Society is an organization for pre-vet students and any student who is enthusiastic about animals.

The Society set out to raise money to build winter homes for feral cats. President Hassan Amin, Vice-President Valerie Timmerman, Secretary Suzanne Kostrewski, and Member Nathan Butzke volunteered their time on November 1, 2017 selling baked goods in the lobby of the Frank Jr. Melville Library.

A bake sale fundraiser to benefit feral cats was held in the library.

The baked goods were made by the Pre-Vet Society members and included cupcakes, cookies, and other treats. More than $80 was raised at the bake sale.

Although this was enough funds for supplies for the cat homes, they decided to donate the funds to the Save-A-Pet shelter in Port Jefferson, an organization dedicated to saving the lives of animals. The Society plans on having an official club visit to the shelter next semester.

While the Pre-Vet Society is forgoing the building of the cat homes for the year, they plan on having an educational session sometime during this academic year. The session would be on “how to build a winter cat house” or “how to create cat toys” so members and guests can help shelters at home.
