History

Wah Yan College Cats dates back to 1993 when a cat later called Mr M appeared in the campus of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong. It was fed by the students and teaching staff, and later more cats appeared. The club was made official by the school in 1999, and the organization was temporarily situated in a small underground room below the school canteen.

In 2000 the organization successfully applied for a fund of HK$98,000 [cite news|date=2001-04-29|title=Campus gives cats a heaven|publisher=South China Morning Post|accessdate=2007-10-01] from the Quality Education Fund in order to build a cat house, with a size of 180 square inches.
