Cat Sanctuary

The other day I learned about an AMAZING place called Caboodle Ranch.  Caboodle Ranch is a cat sanctuary for homeless cats in Ponte Vedre Beach, Florida.


Caboodle Ranch is a 30 acre non-profit cat rescue society founded by a single individual who cared enough to make a difference in the lives of our furry friends.  Craig Grant bought a tree farm far away from the city and turned it into a sanctuary for all the cats he has rescued.  He lives there with the cats and provides them with love, care and companionship.






Amazing!

What about you, Wampus Cats? Did you know that you can strive towards creating your own "cat sanctuary" for your Wampus Kittens (residents) on your floors? Community development initiatives are key to helping your residents feel welcome, connected, and at home on your floor. Here are some ways to help continue building the community on your floors:
  • Create a Facebook group for your floor.
  • Organize a floor intramural team.
  • Implement floor programs that get students interacting or even competing with each other.
  • Hold door decoration contests.
  • Introduce residents on your floor who might share a common interest (Xbox, musical interests, sports, favorite TV shows, etc.).
  • Eat meals with your residents.
  • Attend events and activities of your residents (a sport they play, a theater event they’re acting in, etc.).
  • Seek out shy residents and stay in contact with them. Invite them to programs, activities, and meals.
  • Participate in homecoming activities as a floor.
  • Know your residents’ academic majors and hometowns.
  • Listen to residents to know where they are coming from.
  • Find out which of your residents have classes together and help them form study groups.
  • Order T-Shirts for your floor.
  • Hold programs that can be repeated every week, such as watching a favorite TV show together in your floor lounge or another common area.

Remember, for your Wampus Kittens, your floor is their home away from home. Help make it a "cat sanctuary" where they can feel at home and connected to one another! Every Wampus Cat and Kitten needs a welcoming home away from home!
