Make BC a Safer Place for Cats and Birds

Stewardship Centre for BC supports and promotes responsible pet ownership. To encourage people to keep cats indoors or supervise them outdoors, we would like to share stories from local pet owners and their ways of keeping cats happy and birds safe from predation. These stories will be collected and shared in the Happy Cat Gallery on the SCBC website.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in our survey!

If you have questions, suggestions or ideas to share, please email our project coordinator Anna Skurikhina.
