T&R = when it blocks an email (traps) and literally asks if you want to release it

Anyway, finally got a vet appt for one of the feral cats I help care for 💜 Odysseus will not be happy but he's a dummy who doesn't know what's best for himself. Hopefully he forgives me after! So many vets around won't accept new clients, sucks ass...

Journal No. 20

Last Tuesday, February 21, I was able to interview Ms. Favis of the Ateneo Institute of Sustainability (with Ma’am Ena, of course!) regarding cat-related injuries inside the LS campus. Based from what she said, AIS has data of the students who were scratched/bitten by cats from before to after ACCaP was launched last year. But AIS still has to sort out all the data before I can get it from them. 

So for the meantime, I’ve been doing another survey. It’s similar from the survey last semester but this time I added questions asking their age, gender and year and course. I also included asking about their awareness of the ACCaP and their policies and whether or not that they would still pet the cat despite the policies. The survey will be up for around a week and hope I can get more than 200 respondents! So far, I have 70 respondents!

You can find the survey here! (Only applicable to the Ateneo LS students!)

Currently doing my 50%+ work output! I’ll update soon!

Next agenda:

1) Interview with AGILA’s president

2) Finish prototype poster to be posted on the bulletin board in front of the Fine Arts Department

3) Finish powerpoint presentation for 50% work output done

4) Take more pictures of cats around LS campus for cat inventory

Journal No. 18

Rough sketches for my design solution, which is an awareness campaign. It’s printed media and it will be posted on bulletin boards around the LS campus, but will use social media as a platform for disseminating information online. Creating the content will be the most difficult part of the process because it should not only change physical behavior of my stakeholders but also the psychological behavior, because I’m trying to educate them the ACCAP, the TNR program and animal welfare in order to make them more compassionate and understanding to the cats and not just think they’re cute and all.

Journal No. 10

Interview with PAWS was on October 14, 2016. Unfortunately, I could not make it due to prior commitment (Immersion required for my TH 141 class, where we went to Brgy. Sampad, Cordona, RIzal). My friend Ana conducted the interview instead, since she was there to interview for her research. The topic of the interview is about their Trap-Neuter-Return program.
