Why are we asking students not to adopt pets?
There are a lot of animals who need homes.
However, they require permanent lifelong homes!

While University housing policy prohibits keeping pets in or about
Campus residences, some students adopt them anyway.
Each year, some of those pets will be lost or abandoned on Campus.

Pet adoption is a lifetime commitment to care – sterilization,
vaccination, nutrition, shelter, protection, and lots of attention.

Cats can be expected to live for 20 years or more.
Are you prepared at this time in your life to make that commitment?
What about your studies, the expense, housing?
What are you going to do at school breaks and the year end?

If you love animals and want to help, you can make a difference
by volunteering with Stanford Cat Network.
