STAFF REPORT
Veterinary Ettinger Teaching Corporation (Vetcorp, Inc.) is an independant contractor
working with a multi-national company that produces feline allergen products. These
products are used on people allover the world, including the United States,who are
allergic to cats. The allergy injections, produced from cat hair, allows individuals
to live comfortably with a pet they might otherwise not be able to have.
It is Vetcorp's desire to use our facility as a collection point for the cat hair.
They have a need for up to twelve (12) kilograms of cat hair per month. Department
staff will collect the cat hair and store for collection by Vetcorp. In return,
Vetcorp will pay $ 70.00 per pound of usable hair collected. It takes approximately
ten (10) cats to produce one (1) pound of hair. Vetcorp will provide all materials
necessary for this project.
