CULTIVATING COMPASSION

(and a sizeable following)

As a university with beautiful facilities and manicured gardens, the cats’ presence add a refreshing atmosphere that brings joy and a means to relieve stress. We are witnesses of this phenomenon by being among the four thousand fans of DLSU-PUSA on Facebook. Regularly, the virtual community benefits from the numerous sharing of DLSUPUSA cats’ pictures and videos.

As their fan base continues to expand, it presents more opportunities for adoptions. They have rehomed 20 cats last year. Along with these successful adoptions, there are also inquiries from other educational institutions hoping to learn about the advocacy and duplicate DLSU-PUSA’S efforts in their own schools.

It is not surprising at all that more people are beginning to follow suit as they understand proper cat care. DLSU-PUSA was an initiative born out of love for cats and as a new breed of human companions emerge in ourselves, our collective awakening will sprout more positive changes in the way we learn. Schools will then foster compassion and wider consciousness for all life, a new form of higher education that benefits everybody’s wellbeing.
