We just want to tell you know that our podcast has ranked in the list of Top 10 Podcasts in countries like Netherlands, Sweden, Lebanon, and Italy!

Cats have made the AUB campus their home for more than 30 years. As families fled the country during the war, many left their pets behind. AUB became the go-to-dump spot for abandoning cats.
