Domestic cats can make wonderful pets but also have the capacity to kill birds and other wildlife\, spread infectiou s diseases\, and cause nuisances in the community. Predation by cats is th e number one cause of wild bird deaths in the country.
\nEffective c at management is often complicated by the species&rsquo\; close affiliatio n with people and unique legal status. Grant will focus on the conservatio n and public health science underpinning the need to manage domestic cats and identify opportunities for organizations and individuals to advance sc ience-based solutions.

He has worked in w ildlife conservation policy\, education\, and research for over 17 years a nd is a Certified Wildlife Biologist. \;
