The distribution of these brochures on campus was supervised by Mr. Amir Baha Fahim and Ms. Lina Alaa Hussein. The educational content highlighted key health aspects related to interacting with cats, including the psychological and social benefits of having pets, alongside potential health risks such as allergies or the transmission of certain parasites if proper veterinary care is lacking.
