We rescue orphaned kittens too young for shelters to care for and adopt them into loving homes. Veterinary students learn about neonatal kitten care and kittens find their forever homes. Want to help? Click to find out more!

Orphan Kitten Project is a student-run non-profit organization at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Orphaned and abandoned neonatal kittens under 4 weeks of age are taken in from the community and given a complete physical exam by the project coordinators. These kittens are then fostered by veterinary students or giving members of the community who bottle-raise them in their own homes. The kittens are weaned, vaccinated, FeLV tested, spayed or neutered, and dewormed vaccinations before they are put up for adoption, usually by 10-12 weeks of age.

Our mission is twofold:
1) to rescue orphaned and abandoned kittens and adopt them into loving homes
2) to train future veterinarians in the care of feline neonates.

None of our foster kittens are involved in invasive medical research and no healthy kittens are euthanized because a permanent home cannot be found. All kittens remain in the program until they are adopted out.

Shifa Clinic is a non-profit, student-run medical facility dedicated to serving the diverse, medically uninsured population of the greater Sacramento area. Every Sunday, the clinic provides basic as well as specialized medical services free of charge to patients of many ethnicities and backgrounds. In addition, as a teaching center for medical students and undergraduate volunteers, Shifa Clinic takes an active role in shaping the physicians of the future. Clinic operation is a collaborative effort between undergraduates performing administrative duties, medical students interviewing patients and performing physical exams, and volunteer physicians recommending appropriate treatments regimens and teaching students basic clinical skills. This group is registered for the medical students. The concept of a volunteer, free clinic for the uninsured originated in 1994 when two dedicated physicians organized a small clinic in an apartment building donated by the V Street Mosque. They operated this free clinic for many years with minimal facilities. Due to the increasing popularity and demand for this kind of clinic we felt the need of a more organized and regular health service project. In the year 2000, the current Medical Director, Shagufta Yasmeen, M.D., and two medical students, Nasser Abdo and Mahmoud Traina from the University of California, Davis, and the community members (Bashir Choudary, and Dr. Najme Minhaj) launched a new clinic by name of “Shifa Community Clinic”. The clinic was officially affiliated with UC Davis School of Medicine officially on June 15, 2005. A three party agreement between Shifa Community Clinic, UC Davis School of Medicine, and the Muslim Mosque Association was finalized.

Founded in the spring of 2002 by UC Davis medical students interested in general surgery and the surgical subspecialties, SSIG aims to increase exposure to the world of surgery. An early introduction to the field forms the core of our philosophy, and we offer preclinical experiences through mentoring programs, conferences, workshops and a journal club. We collaborate with academic attendings, residents, and community surgeons to provide a forum for students to explore surgical issues and opportunities and to develop information networks. Our efforts arose in part to counteract the recent declining interest in the surgical field as reflected by the falling number of applicants to surgical residencies. We hope to stimulate interest in the world of surgery and aid students in making insightful career decisions.

The Workers' Rights Clinic is a weekly clinic where law students provide low-income workers with legal information and referrals about problems they are facing at work. The clinic is a student-run organization with law student directors (Principal Officers) and law student counselors (volunteers) willing to spend an evening a week meeting with clients and helping them with their work related issues.

On a typical clinic night, each law student volunteer meets with clients, discusses their clients' legal issues with a supervising attorney, and then provides the clients with their legal options. There is also a substantive law component to the clinic as every week a supervising attorney will give a presentation going over an area of substantive employment law prior to meeting with clients. The Legal Aid Society - Employment Law Center in San Francisco and the Center for Workers' Rights in Sacramento will provide the clinic with legal resources and the Center for Workers' Rights will assist in recruiting supervising attorneys to work with students.
