I co-founded a non-profit cat rescue that helps outdoor cats in Detroit, Hamtramck, & Highland Park. Today we are celebrating our 3 year anniversary!

We are called Colony Cat Club Detroit and our mission is to help stray cats in Detroit/Hamtramck/Highland Park through TNR (trap-neuter-return) for feral cats, providing medical attention and adoption for friendly outdoor cats and kittens, and by helping community members care for their outdoor colonies. So far, we have spayed/neutered/vaccinated over 500 feral cats, and have taken in 500 more, which we have provided vetting for and adopted into homes. We get 50+ requests per week for cats needing help, and unfortunately there is no way to bring them all inside (and not all of them want to be inside, which is why TNR is the best long-term solution). We are currently foster-based and usually have around 60 cats in our care. We provide all TNR and medical services free of charge to the community, and are completely volunteer based and donation funded! I’m really proud of what we’ve done so far, and really excited for what’s to come - we have big plans for this year!
