Hi again, Amy. I wanted to provide you with a final update. We always try to offer animals of some kind as part of our You Are More Than programme of events, although each year it does get harder as the prices have massively increased. Planning starts in the next few weeks for YAMT, so we will see what we can get sorted for the January exam period. I will make sure you champion cats during this meeting! 

- Ben.

Final update from me, via our Head of Activities:

"So we have run these events frequently at SUSU in the past with dogs and reptiles (cats are harder so sort). [...]. Do know recent problem has been Guide Dogs/Hearings Dogs we use for dog events put their fundraising requirement up massively, and likewise reptiles, the price is now quite high. I would note I heard SUSU the cat was very scared during events we had and they may not love the crowds- from animal welfare perspective dogs easier and more on board".

I hope this helps! 

- Ben. 

Hello Amy! I love your submission, and I'm sure you will know that here at SUSU we love cats, and even used to have a cat as honorary president. I would let you know that you can join the unofficial Floof Society! As you know, we bring in therapy dogs during our 'You Are More Than' events, and I'll ask the team if we can add cats. Thanks for the great idea! - Ben.
