Welcome! Welcome from the Catz JCR Committee to the page which hopefully answers most, if not all, of your questions about Catz life. As you hopefully have experienced, Catz is a very friendly environment with a focus on the ‘other things in life’ at Cambridge with fantastic sports teams and wide breadth of societies. We are always looking to support you further and the JCR committee are the best to get in contact with for any ideas, questions or difficulties. To get to know a little more about us, what we do, how to get in contact with us and why we are more normal than you think – click on our committee page. Cambridge life is very tough, full of stress and new challenges, and it is very easy to feel overwhelmed and struggling to tread water. Welfare should take precedence over anything else and at Catz this is particularly the case. The welfare page has all the information and resources available but please feel free to get in contact with any of the committee, particularly Jack Gibbs and Lucy Purnell as our Welfare Officers. Your first point of reference for most admin and charge related questions will tend to be on the rent and accommodation page. Leaky cupboard, unhinged sink, faltering door or creaky light? Fill in a maintenance request on the official college website. Want to try a new sport or carry an ongoing hobby – find more info here. For a calendar of the main Catz events, find this here. We hope you enjoy your time at Catz! Navigation Committee Current students Student life Freshers Your requests Useful links What are we?
