Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing receives gift

New Jersey residents have donated a farm valued at more than $1 million to the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing. This is the largest gift CAAT has received from an individual in the center's 17-year history.

Throughout the donors' years together, animal welfare has been an important issue to Norman Carlson, who was controller of a division of McGraw-Edison for more than 25 years, and Tee Carlson, whose career was in retailing. Both are volunteer officers of the Hunterdon County, N.J., Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and, at their home, they care for four cats, three horses, more than 30 wild turkeys, an equal number of deer and raccoons and a host of chipmunks.

When they learned about CAAT's mission to foster the use of alternatives to animals in research, education and testing, they decided they had found a unique organization they could both support wholeheartedly.
