Community Cat Movement  The Educational Wing Of Community Cats United, Inc  

Ferals often live in groups, called colonies, and take refuge wherever humans are scarce and food is plentiful. They are extremely self-sufficient, seeking out abandoned buildings or deserted cars—or even digging holes in the ground—to keep warm in winter months and cool during the summer heat.

 

A colony caretaker is an individual (or group) who manages one or more feral colonies in a community. They voluntarily keep an eye on the cats, providing food, water, outdoor shelter, spaying/neutering and emergency medical care.

Their role is caretaker, not owner.

 

Volunteer to be a colony caretaker or assist an existing caretaker.

 

Colony caretakers are changing animal sheltering one cat at a time.  In fact, medieval middle Eastern cities had charities that took care of street cats.
