Colony Cat Club Detroit

Colony Cat Club Detroit Advocating for Detroit's cats, one kitty at a time. Colony Cat Club is a Detroit-based cat rescue that was officially created on March 31, 2023.

Born out of need, we are ready to work towards our belief that every cat deserves a chance. Our mission is to care for our city's discarded kitties through rescue, adoption, and TNR (trap, neuter, return). We also believe in empowering and supporting our neighbors through providing assistance to care for their beloved cats.

We would like to pay tribute to Miggy, a gorgeous and brave long haired lionheart who passed away this morning.

Miggy was TNR'd in Jefferson Chalmers in 2021. He was part of a well loved and cared for colony, and spent his days hanging out in a garage that was converted into a colony cat apartment complex. He had access to food, water, and insulted cat houses with straw. What else could a cool cat like Miggy want?!

Miggy was a very good and kind hearted boy. He liked to hang around with his friends and siblings, and was well loved by his colony, as well as his caretaker. We are sending our deepest condolences to the people who loved Miggy, and to his colony who will surely be missing his presence.

Today is the Winter Solstice, which is also the darkest day of the year. Miggy shined so bright, that it feels just a tad darker than usual. We hope that Miggy is somewhere curled up on the coziest heating pad, after just finishing a big bowl of his favorite food with friends, old and new. We feel better knowing that in this lifetime, he was cared for and loved until his very last breath.

Rest easy, Miggy. ๐Ÿ–ค

Let us tell you about Inspector Gadget.

One of our volunteers and colony caretakers contacted us about a cat that we had previously TNR'd who had a strange wound appear on his back. It wasn't getting better on its own; in fact, the wound appeared to be spreading and oozing. Slides 2 and 3 show the progression.

We decided that he needed to be seen by a vet, so we got him in today! Because of your donations, we were willing and able to provide medical attention to Inspector Gadget.

We originally thought it might be an abscess and that he would just need a clip & clean, plus antibiotic injection. We anticipated ~$100 bill. However, when he was clipped, the true reality was revealed, and poor Inspector Gadget had a nasty infection. He needed immediate medical attention to close part of the wound, and will need dressing changes every few days while he heals. His total bill was $350 (slide 4). We also posted his wound on the final slide. Please be cautious swiping, if you are sensitive to wound pictures.

His caretaker has committed to helping with fostering, and we also have several medical fosters who are willing to help Inspector Gadget on his healing journey. We have decided to help Inspector Gadget find a new life, indoors! And although he is not ready for adoption just yet, we hope you will follow along on his healing journey. His wound is in a very precarious location, and he may have difficulty healing, but we are going to give him the best we can.

If you believe in our mission to care for Detroit's outdoor cats, please consider donating to our Year End Fundraiser. We will be running it for 12 more days, and we are almost halfway to our goal! 100% of your donations go back to the cats, giving cats like Inspector Gadget the opportunity to receive medical attention.

We have on average 60 cats available for adoption at any given time, and we typically have enough money on hand to handle one emergency. We put every single dollar back into providing better lives for as many cats as we can. No dollar amount is too small. Help us hit our goal before 2025! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Bigfoot. He passed away suddenly last night, December 16th. Bigfoot was 1 year and 8 months old.

We were initially contacted about Bigfoot in November, 2023. He was taken off the streets of Detroit, and was a very energetic 7-month-old kitten who needed a playmate. The biggest problem with that was that he was confirmed as FeLV+. He was safe inside with his finder, who committed to keeping Bigfoot cared for until we could place him.

We did not let his leukemia diagnosis hold us back from trying to find Bigfoot a perfect home, and after months of searching, a foster who only took in FeLV+ kitties stepped up!

We were absolutely ecstatic for Bigfoot, who finally had a friend with another leukemia positive kitty, Phineas. Bigfoot liked to play, but was also very respectful to Phineas, who wasn't as enthusiastic about bouncing off the walls.

Bigfoot got his name because he was a polydactyl! He had extra toes, and loved to flaunt them.

Bigfoot was toy obsessed, and loved to play nonstop. His playing was rivaled by his cuddling, and Bigfoot was just starting to get Phineas to snuggle up. He enjoyed belly rubs. Even though he had many beds to sleep in, Bigfoot liked to sleep on a towel in the sink. He also enjoyed getting under the covers for the ultimate snuggle fest. Bigfoot was full of personality and love.

Bigfoot's foster, Christian, told us that he was wanting to officially adopt Bigfoot after the busy holidays passed, and to that we said he was always already at home. We knew Bigfoot belonged with Phineas and Christian, and we are sending them a tremendous amount of love as they process the sudden loss of a cat with paws so big, they held a little extra love. Bigfoot taught us about living each day to the fullest, and playing until the end. Bigfoot remained healthy and vibrant until his final day, and we are so grateful that he was loved beyond measure.

Join us Monday, January 13th at 10am at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center in Detroit to support the passing of Detroit's Humane Pet Shop Ordinance. This ordinance, if passed, would prohibit the sale of cats and dogs (commonly known as puppy mill dogs) in any pet store within the city limits of Detroit. This ordinance will still allow rescues to host adoptable cats and dogs inside of pet stores.

Our kitten, Calypso, was found in a dumpster when one of our volunteers was returning her mom from TNR. Our volunteer brought both Calypso and Venus home with them, and Calypso has since found her forever home. We are in a cat overpopulation crisis in Detroit, and allowing cats to be bred and sold for profit is inhumane for the cats, community, and rescues who are daily struggling to solve this crisis.

We need your help! Here are very real actions you can take to help us get this ordinance passed swiftly:

๐Ÿ’– Plan to attend the hearing in January.
๐Ÿ’– Fill out our form "Support for Detroit City Council Ordinance" which is the first link in our bio. We will keep you up-to-date from there!
๐Ÿ’– Comment below with where your cat came from that wasn't a pet store. You can use the prompt "My cat came from __________, not a pet store". Your cat may be featured in upcoming posts!
๐Ÿ’– SHARE THIS POST
๐Ÿ’– Do you have a great idea on how to get the word out about this proposed ordinance? Do you know someone with a large audience on social media, the radio, or the news who loves animals? Tag them, reach out personally, or DM us!

Please remember that this date and time is fluid, and we will not have a finalized confirmation until just a few days beforehand, so we ask that you remain flexible and fervent. We have a team set up on our end to make this as seamless as possible.

Please help us be a voice for those who do not have one.

We are way behind schedule to officially announce that Pacman has been adopted! ๐ŸŽ‰

Do you remember Pacman's story? He was relinquished to one of our transfer partners after he was brought in to their veterinary clinic on death's door. In fact, he had no heartbeat detected and then sprung back up as he was being returned to the owner. He was not receiving water and food more than once a day in his current home. Luckily, they agreed that they were unable to provide Pacman with proper care, and we were contacted to help.

We were originally under the impression that Pacman was 3-weeks-old due to his extremely small size (he was considered underweight for 3 weeks old), but inspection of his teeth and coordination revealed that he was actually likely 12-weeks-old ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ See the last pic to see tiny Pacman asleep in our hand. He went on a scheduled feeding program, and instantly started his reign of terror in his foster home. Pacman didn't know he was tiny, and was interested in playing HARD with everyone! He even hurt a 60+ pound pitbull's feelings by coming on too strong ๐Ÿ˜‚ Pacman went to our foster who specializes in Charm School, and turned into a perfectly playful, well rounded kitten. We were thrilled when his adopters were looking for a playmate for their young, single kitten.

Congratulations Pacman (now Bones), brother Monster, Riley & Tim! ๐ŸŽ‰ We are also happy to announce that Bones is a BIG BOY now! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Let us do one of our famous introduction/adoption posts for Lotus! ๐ŸŽ‰

Seriously, buckle your seatbelt because this is one of the most ridiculous stories we have to tell. One of our board members was out to dinner, when a kitten ran in through the front door of the restaurant. You read that right: the kitten distribution system is genuinely targeting us! Lotus is a gorgeous color point, and so many people wanted to take her with them, but our board member convinced the restaurant staff that we would be able to provide Lotus with the best chance of a positive outcome, and they agreed!

We are so glad, because Lotus was a smidge ๐Ÿ”ฅspicy๐Ÿ”ฅ Our board member committed to fostering Lotus, and helping her through a terrible case of fleas and persistent worms. Lotus was also very skinny, and needed to learn to trust humans. No one could believe she was a stray, but all the signs pointed to that being true.

We posted a sneak peek of Lotus in our stories, and got inundated with applications. One app stood out, though. They were very familiar with sassy cats, and already had two color points. We were so glad that they were waiting until the perfect moment to adopt a third cat. Plus, a friend of our rescue who also fosters emergency situations recommended this adopter, and all the pieces fell together.

Congratulations Lotus (now Sage), cat siblings Simba and Sula, puppy pal Samson, Courtney and DeAnn! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

If you want to help us continue rescuing cats that run into restaurants we are eating at (or ones that we usually just pull off the street), please consider donating to our Year End Fundraiser. We have a lofty goal, which will set us into a great position to start 2025 out strong. Every dollar we raise goes to help cats in need. We are a 501c3 nonprofit, you will get a receipt immediately emailed to you after your donation, and the platform we use gives us 100% of the funds donated. There is no amount too small! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Meet sweet and wonderful Ellie! ๐Ÿฉถ

One of our fosters was driving to work, when they found a tiny little grey kitten in the road. She was only 4-weeks-old and terrified. Our foster scooped her up, and immediately committed to providing her with formula and a safe place to stay. Originally thought to be a boy, our Ellie was first called Elliott. ๐Ÿซฃ The name Ellie really seemed to fit her, though, so it stuck!

Ellie is charming and cute, and a real sweetheart with people, cats and dogs (with a proper introduction). She likes to try and hang with the big kids (older kittens), but her best friend at the moment is Amon-Ra. They met as two orphan kittens looking for a playmate, and instantly became friends. They've even been known to use the litterbox in tandem. Synchronized potty! Ellie loves to sleep and snuggle. She is ready to keep you warm this winter. ๐Ÿฉถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿฉถ

Ellie is looking for an adopter with another cat to teach her the ropes, or maybe even a home willing to adopt her and Amon-Ra together. They are not bonded, but they are buddies. We love when kittens become pals in their foster home.

Apply for Ellie today! Our adoption application is in our bio.

12/05/2024

We hosted a shelter building event in October and made over 20 colony cat winter shelters, which we provided free of charge to caretakers that we've helped TNR (trap, neuter, return) during the year.

We are always collecting supplies and continually providing whatever we can to help the outdoor cats of Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. The supplies needed to build a shelter are styrofoam coolers, duct tape, insulation tape, reflective insulation, and straw. It is imperative that the shelters are not filled with hay or blankets, as they can get wet and freeze.

Making outdoor shelters is relatively easy! You can find instructions online. We also have a special drill attachment to put openings in insulated coolers (first pic, top right corner for examples of the finished product). With that tool, we can make shelters pretty quickly. Styrofoam coolers can often be found for free at pharmacies, and the insulation used with some food delivery services can be repurposed for cat shelters!

If you believe in what we do, please consider donating to our Year End Fundraiser. It's in our bio! We utilize every dollar to go back to the cats. TNR is our biggest focus, as we believe that prevention is key. We also provide essentials, like food, shelter and veterinary care, to cats in need whenever we can. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Meet Amon-Ra, our little fighter who exemplifies grit ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฆ

Amon-Ra was found with his brothers, Aidan and Jared, in a box that was placed behind a veterinary office on October 12th. Unfortunately, the box was not distinct, and was not discovered until over 9 hours after it was placed there. Even more unfortunate, there was a 4th kitten who had already passed away after the box was discovered.

The reason these kittens were so fragile was because at 2-weeks-old, they were far too young to be left in the cold. They were also too young to be without food for longer than 2 hours. They were flea infested, and incredibly weak. Even with around the clock care and an incubator, Jared passed away overnight, and Aidan passed the next afternoon.

Amon-Ra started getting very fragile, and rejecting formula. It was clear he needed to be tube fed, but our supply delivery was 24 hours away. It is very difficult to find tubes for kittens so tiny, and we called many rescues, vets and pet supply stores for help. Luckily, when we reached out to they immediately went into action mode and got tubes to us. Those supplies, along with his skilled and dedicated foster, saved Amon-Ra's life.

Today, Amon-Ra is healthy, active and messy. He loves to play, and also cuddles hard. He is best friends with Ellie (introduction soon!) and gets along with all cats and dogs. You can apply to adopt Amon-Ra today! ๐Ÿ–ค

Because of your support, high risk kittens like Amon-Ra get a chance at survival. Although we would have preferred to have prevented these kittens from unimaginable suffering, we are grateful for the opportunity to provide them with a fighting chance.

If you believe in the work we do for kittens like Amon-Ra, please consider supporting our Year End Fundraiser. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

We want to tell you about the brief time we spent with Pumpkin.

โš ๏ธ Trigger Warning โš ๏ธ this post will highlight animal suffering and loss.

On July 16th, our co-founder saw a ginger 3-month-old kitten sitting on the side of the road. He was bleeding from the mouth and the nose, and let her walk right up to him and grab him. She brought him immediately to our vet.

X-rays revealed that his jaw and leg were broken. He also had a massive amount of fluid in his chest and abdomen. His tiny belly was full of trash: a sure sign that Pumpkin was trying his hardest to survive with minimal resources. His injuries were consistent with being hit by a car. He was in a massive amount of pain. Along with the vet, we made the humane decision to euthanize Pumpkin.

Kittens born outside have a 25% survival rate to 6-months-old, which means a staggering 75% do not make it. Sadly, Pumpkin is part of the majority.

Because of your donations, we were able to provide Pumpkin with a pain-free, dignified end. He was cared for and supported during his transition, and he had a name (something that is extremely important to us).

We don't always share stories like Pumpkin's, not because we don't care, but because it is a lot for us to process. Because of your support, we are able to make immediate decisions to provide medical assistance to strays. We have multiple stories like Pumpkin, and they all carve a little notch in our hearts.

TNR prevents the suffering of kittens. 100% of donations to us go towards kittens like Pumpkin, who deserve a little peace. We are a 501c3 nonprofit, and all donations are tax deductible.

This past April, we started one of our biggest TNR efforts.

An alley in Hamtramck had approximately 50 stray cats, and they were reproducing at alarming rates. We were contacted by a caretaker who just couldn't keep up anymore. She was tired of finding kittens who didn't survive, and struggling to maintain the colony.

Many people along the alley fed and cared for the cats, but didn't know that TNR was a solution. News spread quickly that we were with a rescue, and that we were getting the cats fixed and vaccinated, all at no cost to the community.

We TNR'd 35 cats and kittens, and pulled 5 kittens for adoption. TNR costs alone were over $1000, but we feel like preventing so much suffering made the entire thing worth it.

We had a whole team of volunteers help with trapping, transportation and recovery. Raise your hand โœ‹ in the comments if you were there!!!

If you believe in our mission, please consider donating to our Year End Fundraiser, linked in our bio. We are so grateful to represent the cats of Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

We are so excited to announce that Stevie has been adopted! ๐ŸŽ‰

A crowd favorite, Stevie was an outdoor cat for most of his life, and he was begging to get inside. A kind-hearted dog lover with cat allergies and no experience with cats brought him inside, and that began our journey with Grandpa Stevie. He had a respiratory infection that was being magnified from him being FIV+ and having really awful teeth. We were able to get him neutered and have 4 teeth removed, which made an immense difference in his health. Pic 9 shows him after his surgery ๐Ÿ˜‚ Little Stevie was zooted out of his mind.

Stevie is a huge character. Did you get to meet him at an event? He would sucker people into feeding him churus and acted like he was starving. Before he was neutered, Stevie had the largest cheeks we had ever seen! Even our vet was impressed. Stevie melted all our hearts, and we are so glad he found his forever home.

Congratulations Stevie, kitty pals Tony, Mr. Mom & Bella, Emily, Jack and Sam! ๐Ÿ–ค They met and fell in love with Stevie at our event ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค

We are able to help cats like Stevie because of generous donations from our supporters. We were able to pay his dental/neuter bill of $457.95 upfront because of the community's support. We do not require finders to donate funds, or adopters to pay increased fees. If you believe in our mission, please consider donating to our Year End Fundraiser, and sharing Stevie's story. Cats like Stevie are still outdoors in the cold, waiting for the kindness of strangers to help. We can continue to help, but we do need financial support. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Let us tell you about Malcolm.

On November 25th, we were contacted about a cat who was unable to put any weight down on his front leg. Sadly, his suffering had become a joke to people who witnessed him trying to walk. We were able to immediately assess the situation, and trap him. Malcolm was in a lot of pain, but it was determined pretty quickly that he was unsocialized.

We got him stabilized, and took him to our vet to be sedated and examined. Malcolm had no obvious wounds or broken bones, and it was determined that he pulled a muscle. Ouch! He was neutered and vaccinated, and got an antibiotic injection for a UTI. His total bill was $333.90 (last slide).

Malcolm is recovering in warmth, still deciding what he thinks about people. He is getting consistent meals and has a safe place to recover. We have made emergency, long-term plans to care for Malcolm, and will keep you updated about his progress.

If you believe in our mission to help the cats of Detroit, please consider supporting our Year End Fundraiser. Cats like Malcolm deserve empathy and medical care, as well as kindness. Funding is essential for us to be able to immediately step up for cats in need.

Every dollar donated goes directly to the cats! Our fundraising platform gives us 100% of your donations. No donation is too small. If you are unable to donate, please share this post. Help us get the word out about the stray cat crisis in Detroit.

We are launching our Year End Fundraiser, and hope that we can hit our goal of $8310!

Since we have formed as an organization in 2023, Colony Cat Club Detroit has TNR'd 277 cats free of charge to the community. We do this because we believe that the full responsibility to solve the cat crisis in Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park should not fall solely on the communities most impacted by stray cats.

We believe that many of the colony cats are loved and cared for, yet there are many downfalls to not getting these cats spayed and neutered. Unaltered male cats spray, fight, and get very aggressive when they are driven to mate. Female cats are put at risk having multiple litters a year, and kittens can get pregnant as young as 4 months old. It's messy!

Each TNR procedure costs, on average, between $25-$35. We periodically get free or deeply discounted procedures, and we also periodically get a cat who needs more extensive medical attention, which comes with a cost. We pay to get these cats the care they need, even if they are "feral" or "disposable". Why? Because we believe that they are depending on us to do the right thing, and the community depends on us too.

$8310 represents an average cost of $30 for each cat we've already TNR'd. These raised funds will allow us to continue our mission into 2025. We are proud to have spent over $8000 already to TNR the cats of Detroit!

We are also collecting supply donations at two locations:

Five Mile Animal Hospital
25920 Five Mile in Redford

National Ladder & Scaffold
29350 John R Rd in Madison Heights (enter at the contractors side)

Supplies needed are food, litter, clean litter boxes, beds, toys, dishes and small blankets. We accept opened dry food that your cat may have turned their nose up to after you ordered that 40 pound bag! We will also gladly take cat traps, if you have some you no longer use.

The link for our fundraiser is in our bio. We will be running this fundraiser now until New Year's Day. All donations are tax deductible. We also encourage you to see if your company matches donations. 100% of funds we raise go back to the cats. ๐Ÿ˜ป

Today, we are filled with so much thanks for what we have, and the impact that we have been honored to make on our community. We currently have 56 cats and kittens in our care (including the 2 pictured who are so fresh, they don't even have names).

We are grateful for the cats, who teach us empathy and creativity (for example, how do we put saline spray on a feral cat's head? We have a community to problem solve!) Cats show us trust, love, and make us laugh. They are ruthlessly independent, but still need us, even if they sometimes pretend they don't.

We are grateful for our fosters, who step up to take in tough cases and handle bumpy roads with grace. Our cats typically come to us with a plethora of ailments and quirky behaviors, sometimes attributed to trauma. Our fosters are rooted in love for cats, and for that we are so grateful.

We are grateful for our volunteers who show up at events and talk non-stop about kitties. They trap cats for TNR almost every single week, and help with transportation and recovery. They set up fundraisers and adoption events, work with local businesses to have relationships, and have made a beautiful little community that we are so grateful to be a part of.

We are grateful for our veterinary partners, specifically Five Mile Vet, Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society, and PAWS. They are passionate about cats, easy to work with, and provide exceptional care.

We are grateful for our supporters, who talk about our mission and believe in what we do. They don't let us sink financially when we take on tough cases. They send us supplies when we ask, and offer us encouraging words when we feel like we can't handle one more setback. They never let us down.

Finally, we are grateful for our tight inner core, who work for the cause every single day, but oftentimes go unnoticed because they are keeping the focus on the cats. It gets tiring and overwhelming, and there are so many different working pieces to cat rescue that it gets unbelievably heavy sometimes. We are grateful for your often unnoticed efforts, and the impact that you have made in this organization. We are grateful for your drive, motivation and empathy.

We are getting ready to share our gratitude, and we are definitely grateful that Basil got adopted! ๐ŸŽ‰

We were contacted by a worried person who saw a little kitten hobbling on a busy road. They stopped to grab him (thank you!), knew his leg was broken, and didn't know what to do. Luckily, because of the generosity of our supporters, we were able to get Basil x-rays, which confirmed that his femur was broken in two places. We then had his back leg amputated at an emergency clinic.

Basil had us nervous! We knew nothing about his personality, and weren't sure what recovery would be like. Basil impressed us immediately with his sweet disposition and swift recovery. He hopped right out of the carrier after his surgery like nothing happened! And although he did need to adjust to having 3 legs, Basil did fantastic. He even impressed our friends and became an honorary Babe. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Congratulations Basil, cat and dog pals Butterscotch and Jodi, Sheridan and Thomas. ๐ŸŽ‰ According to Basil's family, โ€œBasil is even better than advertised! Such a big personality and total sweetheart. He has so much confidence!โ€
