Part of my colony ❤️ there are 9 more out here, and I'm taking care of them on my own, and I worry about how I'm going to feed them all and get them spayed/neutered, hopefully I can get them homes, I feel so terrible for them, I just want them to know at least one human cares about them. ❤️2yr ⋅ Competitive-Age-7469 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Local town has started criminalizing feeding the cats, so caretakers are trying to figure out what to do with their colonies. I've agreed to take four spicy babies to work on socializing them. Pic is from their caretaker, who still needs to catch one.2yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats

The cat who wouldn't get near us with the man who declared cats didn't belong in the house and certainly not on the furniture.2yr ⋅ McChunkles ⋅ r/ColonyCats
UPDATE: Somehow the ginger in this pic has gone missing. He is either running a muck in my house, or managed to make it through the cat door. He was the most timid of the group. I. Bewildered, and just sick.. More in comments.2yr ⋅ Boomersgang ⋅ r/ColonyCats
She let me pet her! She's uncomfortable, but she let me! Maybe mama can get socialized, too!3yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats

My colony boy turned foster when I first brought him inside (L) vs. now (R). So happy with his progress!2yr ⋅ TheKnittyWit ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Post surgery Simba! He's doing great. Check out that freshly tipped ear! 😍2yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
These kittens will NOT be colony cats. Spotted this morning and delivered to a rescue group. Will be raised with humans and live a domestic life❤😻3yr ⋅ triestokeepitreal ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Sprinkles was returned today. He may have just been a feral cat, but we will always love him1yr ⋅ Disgruntled_Viking ⋅ r/ColonyCats
I think the colony is happy to have the basement opened up with heating pads from a generous soul. 19 degrees this morning and windy as hell. They haven't really moved all day.1yr ⋅ Disgruntled_Viking ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Had to say goodbye to Mr. Sprinkles today. FIP. Just couldn't afford $1400 for an experimental treatment. He will be missed.1yr ⋅ Disgruntled_Viking ⋅ r/ColonyCats
My neighbors know I feed the cats, so they brought me this girl after they found her being attacked by apparently four other cats. She's super not socialized!3yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Ear Scritches for The General. It took two years for this feral to trust me, but now he demands (and receives) ear scritches at soft fud time.3yr ⋅ badtux99 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Used these to catch their mom this morning. It'll be my first time working with a mom I have no prior relationship with. Wish me luck!3yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
-35 c windchill - one of the cats on the acreage I bought last fall. I feed them but they won’t come near me. He was sitting outside the window otherwise I’d never get this close.3yr ⋅ WingsNotRoots ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Update: The sweet stray we took in had her babies yesterday! 5 total. She’s proving to be an excellent mama and even leads people to her babies to sit with and watch over them.3yr ⋅ neverendinglabyrinth ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Pitch let me scratch him last night! It wasn't for long, he noticed it was me and stepped back. A few minutes later I was pointing at him and I got the nose boop!!!!!. 10 minutes later he hissed at me. Go figure.2yr ⋅ Boomersgang ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Anyone remember the basement kitties from my video over a year ago? Here they are with a few other additions!9mo ⋅ Disgruntled_Viking ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Day 1 of confinement. There are 4 babies in this crate, only the brave ginger snuck out if the kitten cave. Will work on taming them. Mom is getting spayed right now.2yr ⋅ Boomersgang ⋅ r/ColonyCats
I think I lost her. She spent almost all day in my backyard. Now she's gone for almost 24 h.1yr ⋅ callinallgirls ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Last picture I will post of my handsome dude on here... he’s no longer a stray or part of a colony... he’s mine... neutered and indoors... he’s pretty happy being indoors... he’ll peek his head out the door occasionally when I go out to feed his former colony but he doesn’t go out3yr ⋅ chessygrit ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Made an appointment with a rescue photog to take pics of Sweep. After over a year feeding him outside and several months socializing, it's gonna be hard letting him go3yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
i pull ferals from the shelters when i can as my city is not tnr friendly, got this boy yesterday, 10 day iso for uri and then he can join my gang and start looking for a barn placement.3yr ⋅ LilCokeBoii ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Shelter ideas? Community cat has been living in an old shed on my property, but it was damaged recently in a storm and needs to come down. Considering putting a cat door on my garage (I don't own a car) but my parents say that's a bad idea.2yr ⋅ etholiel ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Rest In Peace little one 🌈 sometimes caring so much hurts my heart. These guys always seem to find me when their just too far gone and there’s no hope for them..I always wish I could find them earlier 😞3yr ⋅ Vampy_Kittie ⋅ r/ColonyCats
The worst part of colony management is you can't keep them safe like you want to. We lost Horton today. Don't know what happened, no obvious signs. She was only 24yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats

Trapping again tomorrow! Need all the positive energy I can get for *hopefully* getting 8 more neighborhood cats successfully altered!❤3yr ⋅ lizzygoat8 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Currently working on preparing this floof (and yes, you CAN pet that belly) for a full time job as a pet. He's always been sweet, but getting him used to being indoors all the time is something else.3yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
UPDATE: MISSING GINGER KITTEN. My thermal camera came in. No luck with a heat signature. I don't know what to do. I can't find him anywhere in the house. I have no idea how he could have gotten outside. I feel physically ill thinking about him.2yr ⋅ Boomersgang ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Stray cat I feed and flea treat... I want to adopt him but he comes in for awhile but always wants to leave back to his colony... is it possible for me to take him in as my own... moving soon 💔💔💔 I worry what we happen to him if I move if he won’t stay with me3yr ⋅ chessygrit ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Feral cats are solitary and aloof, some say. Hmm, these ferals don't look so solitary to me....3yr ⋅ badtux99 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
I’ve named this one Gator, it seems like he doesn’t get along well with the others and I have to feed him separate from the other cats . Would it be possible to take him in? His burrow has to be separated from the others or else they will fight . I’m new to this .2yr ⋅ natetoostrong ⋅ r/ColonyCats
This is Sam-I-Am, aka Sammy. He's an extremely handsome butthead who still needs fixed and has fathered too many adorable kittens. My females are all fixed now, but he could wander pretty far to find more4yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Finally a place for me to share my apartment complex cat. He lives in the parking lot, but he comes into the hallway when it's cold.4yr ⋅ fosterfelix ⋅ r/ColonyCats
This stinky Tom is one of several cats who keep sneaking into my kitchen. I trapped him once, but the vets are locked down. I'll have to get him again!4yr ⋅ EvieMoon ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Mango, one of the local ferals that visit my TNR feeding station. He's a lover, not a fighter, thus all the scars on his hindquarters from running away!3yr ⋅ badtux99 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
This guy has decided that inside is better than outside - after seven months of working with him. But he doesn't understand the litter box. Any ideas? It's a big, uncovered, plastic tray with gravelly unscented litter. It's currently sitting by the door we use to let him out.3yr ⋅ McChunkles ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Any advice? This little kitten has captured our hearts and we’d love to bring it inside. How much would it cost to get the proper shots and spayed/neutered?3yr ⋅ FrankWarn12 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Two new cats showed up this morning. I'm kinda afraid people who lost their jobs may be dumping their pets. The shelters still aren't doing intakes. Any other caretakers seeing a bunch of new cats lately?4yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Round is a shape, right? Local ferals in my back yard this afternoon. Fattest feral I've ever seen!4yr ⋅ badtux99 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
We had Glory inside for 8 months. We really wanted to keep her inside permanently, but she was miserable. Now that winter is over, we opened the window and let her decide if she wanted back out. She's already so much happier. She never got this close to me before!4yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
Had to put Trapper to sleep. He's been ill for awhile, and I finally found a vet who would see a half feral cat. Turns out he was worse than we thought.4yr ⋅ itmightbehere ⋅ r/ColonyCats
One of these cats is not like the other. (Or, why it is important to feed *before* nightfall)4yr ⋅ badtux99 ⋅ r/ColonyCats
