Programmes
- Humane Education
Animals and our
relationship with them are at the heart of
Humane Education. By teaching children about behaviour, needs and care of animals, our
programme provides gentle yet powerful lessons in compassion, responsibility and respect for
others. Each year our Humane Educator visits classrooms and daycares throughout the
community. Our Education/Adoption Booths in local shopping malls provide us with the
opportunity to educate the community about our many programmes and to offer our cats a further
opportunity for adoption.
