It’s not easy taking care of a colony of feral cats. They wait for you at meal time, rain or shine, whether it’s a hot summer day or a freezing cold winter night. The funds for their food come out of your pocket even when money is tight. After they get to know and trust you, many of the cats will warm up and rub against your legs, but others will always remain at a distance. Some neighbors are kind and supportive, but others misunderstand and are resentful. Often you act alone.

Every day, colony caretakers overcome these challenges because they love their cats. It doesn’t matter if they’re feral and live outdoors.

Supporting these guardian angels is a key part of Neighborhood Cats‘ mission. Your gift will let us continue working for these kind souls throughout the year.
