How Fayetteville is saving birds and cats

Every year, thousands of songbirds in Northwest Arkansas get a second chance, thanks to a creative effort by Wild Birds Unlimited. By rehoming just 60 friendly stray cats through the Northwest Arkansas Community Cat Project, Ambre Brewster and her team have saved an estimated 3,000 birds annually! The cats are spayed, vaccinated, and adopted out as indoor pets—where they can safely birdwatch from the window. This approach not only protects local wildlife but also gives these cats loving homes. It’s a win-win for animal lovers and nature fans alike. Would you consider adopting a cat to help local birds? #Pets #Fayetteville #Birds

Big changes for Fayetteville freshmen housing

Freshman life at the University of Arkansas is getting a major shakeup as the campus welcomes its largest class ever. With so many new students, the university is expanding the idea of 'on-campus' living to include nearby apartments, not just dorms. They’re even adding 'community connectors'—like RAs for apartments—to help everyone feel at home and build friendships. With enrollment up nearly 17% since 2019 and most students looking off campus, housing is tight. What do you think—does living in an apartment change the college experience, or is it just a new kind of community? #Education #College #Fayetteville
