PhD Fellowship in the study of unowned cats in Denmark
jobbeskrivelse:
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are offering a PhD scholarship in Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences commencing 1 December 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Background
An unknown number of cats live without or with only a very loose connection to humans. Some of these cats have run away from private homes or have been abandoned by their owners. They can also be so-called “land cats” living in and around farms where they catch mice and rats and may to a minor degree be fed. Finally, cats without contact to humans exist.
Unowned cats will in many contexts be viewed as pests because they generate noise or leave their excrements in gardens, sandboxes and the like or because they predate on wildlife. According to current Danish legislation these cat may be caught and euthanized, provided they have no owner ID. Also, a number of animal welfare NGOs by different means try to deal with the problems faced by unowned cats. Even though these initiatives aim to allow as many of these cats as possible to go on living, a significant number of unowned cats are euthanized every year.
Project abstractJV_description
The aim of the project is to generate a comprehensive understanding of the status of the Danish population of cats living without a recognized owner. Focus will be on assessment of their prevalence, their distribution (between urban and rural areas and between different parts of the country, between unsocialized and socialized cats), and their living conditions and welfare (measured in terms of health, body condition etc.).
The starting point of the project will be a review of the international literature concerning free living cat populations. To describe the Danish situation a combination of epidemiological and sociological methods can be used. Existing data or biological material from shelters and other organisations or persons involved in managing unowned cats can feed into the project. Another way of gathering data will be to trap, count and assess the welfare of cats in selected areas. Finally, interviews and surveys involving persons who regularly deal with unowned cats, veterinarians, farmers or caretakers, can be used.
The findings of the project could feed into efforts by public authorities to manage unowned cats with the aim of among other things securing their welfare.
