Please use trays under the food.

Why We Recommend Bowls or Trays Instead of Feeding on Cement or Dirt 🐾

Feeding community cats is such a rewarding part of TNR and colony care, and everyone has their favorite setup- some use bowls, some use trays, plates, even old cookie sheets. But one thing we see a lot that can be harmful is feeding directly on the cement, asphalt, or bare dirt.

The cats in this photo were all trapped and fixed, and several were found with cracked or broken teeth. We strongly suspect much of that damage came from years of eating off hard surfaces. Eating on concrete or rough ground isn’t just uncomfortable- it can chip teeth, wear them down, and even cause long-term pain. Healthy teeth are essential for cats to eat properly, maintain nutrition, and stay healthy.

Using bowls, trays, or plates keeps food cleaner, protects their teeth, and reduces the spread of germs between cats. Even a shallow tray or a simple plastic plate can make a big difference. And while everyone has their preferred method, keeping feeding areas clean is key:
• Wash and rotate bowls regularly to prevent bacteria buildup.
• If you’re using paper plates or disposable materials, pick them up afterward to avoid litter in the neighborhood.
• A clean feeding area also helps prevent conflicts with neighbors and keeps the colony safer overall.

We’d love to hear from you! What methods do you use to feed your colony cats? Bowls, trays, plates, or something else? What works best in your experience to keep food safe, clean, and easy for the cats to eat? Sharing your tips could help others improve their colony care too.

In our area many greenhouses use working cats to help in the greenhouse. Please don't take them home thinking no one is feeding them, certainly don't leave your unwanted cats. These cats are chosen for their working abilities, friendliness, and ability not to damage the plants.
