Feral Cats and Other Animals on Campus
As part of Grounds & Gardens services to Rhodes University, assistance is provided with feral cats and other animals on campus (Grounds & Gardens or CPU can contact a relevant animal handler). Ask somebody to keep careful watch while you phone for assistance - it is wise to know where the animal goes.
