Hello, Simon here, Neighborhood Cats Network Community Cat, Chief Gym Parking Lot Inspector, Head of Human Resources (Humans Being Resources) and Assistant Regional Manager of Judging People From a Distance.

Every day I monitor the gym parking lot from my feeding station like the dedicated professional that I am. 🐾

While I enjoy my breakfast, I observe the strange habits of the humans who come and go from the gym.

First arrives “Backward Hat Guy” carrying a gallon jug of water like he’s preparing for a desert expedition. Sir, the drinking fountain is literally inside.

Then comes “Tiny Shorts Steve.”
Steven.
As a larger gentleman myself, I worry for you.

At exactly 6am, “Yoga Mat Linda” appears in a perfectly coordinated outfit and always greets me:
“Good morning, handsome!” ….A member who understands excellence when she sees it.

Then there’s “Protein Shake Chad,” who exits the building every morning violently shaking a blender bottle full of swamp-colored liquid. One day the lid exploded and honestly I thought we were under attack.

“Treadmill Karen” power walks onto the treadmill, puts the incline at approximately Mount Everest, and immediately starts glaring at the television screens like someone personally betrayed her.

Meanwhile “Retired Dave” strolls peacefully on the treadmill watching cooking shows.

That man has achieved inner peace.

And every single day, “Parking Lot Pete” spends 20 minutes hunting for the closest parking space… before going inside to walk six miles.

Humans are fascinating.

Some stop by my feeding station to say hello before their workout.
Some ask if I’ve already had breakfast.

Friends.
Look at me carefully.
Does this look like a cat who skips meals?
Excuse me?

This body was built through years of dedication, discipline, and accepting second breakfasts from kind strangers.

Besides, from my feeding station I provide an essential public service:
judging everyone equally.

Love,
Simon

Hi Humans, my name is Tortellini,

Being a kitten is honestly exhausting. One minute I’m running through the house at top speed for absolutely no reason, the next minute I’m screaming because my food bowl is only 93% full.

Neighborhood Cats Network has SO many foster kittens right now of all ages, including teeny tiny baby Maddie and her two siblings, who currently wobble around with tiny milk mustaches and the collective decision-making skills of a goldfish.

And we also have baby Malcolm, who is still in his incubator but thriving and loving life…basically living proof that determination, warmth, and a strong snack-based support system can get you through anything.

We kittens are growing fast, causing small amounts of chaos, and eating an unbelievable amount of canned kitten food every single day. Seriously. Our NCN foster humans open one can and suddenly many tiny heads appear out of nowhere like furry little sharks.

Right now, we are especially in need of Fancy Feast canned kitten food, the chicken flavor, because apparently “tiny but hungry” is a full-time lifestyle.

If you’d like to help keep little potatoes like me, Maddie, Malcolm, and all the other kittens full and happy, please visit www.neighborhoodcatsnetwork.org to check out our Amazon and Chewy wish lists. It’s extremely easy….like “click-click-done-before-a-kitten-jumps-on-your-keyboard” easy.

Your donations help support very important kitten activities like purring, climbing legs, dramatic meowing, incubator thriving, and surprise zoomies at 3am.

Thank you for caring for kittens like us.
Love,
Tortellini

Name’s Oliver. Neighborhood Cats Network Community Cat. Feline operative. License to Chill. 🕶️🐾

By day, I patrol the streets, buildings and backyards, searching for suspicious activity. Rustling bushes? Investigated immediately.

Unauthorized mice conferences? Shut down before things escalated. Empty food bowls? A full-scale emergency requires rapid response and possibly dramatic yelling. The mailman? Still under active surveillance. I trust no one carrying that many envelopes.

By night, I become Agent 00Meow, master of stealth, charm, and dramatically staring into the distance from atop my cement perch like I’m in the final scene of an action movie.

I inspect every parked car for unusual activity, monitor raccoons with narrow eyes from a safe tactical distance, and somehow manage to look devastatingly handsome under flickering streetlights.

I also spend a fair amount of time pretending I meant to fall off fences, miss jumps, or accidentally run into wood piles. Those are called tactical maneuvers. Civilians wouldn’t understand.

The humans at Neighborhood Cats Network think they rescued me, but honestly, I’ve simply allowed them to assist with my operations.

They provide food, shelter, medical care, and compliments about my fur quality. In return, I provide elite-level security services and occasional head bumps.

My daily schedule is extremely demanding:

6:00 AM — Scream for breakfast like I haven’t eaten in years
8:00 AM — Chase leaf that looked at me wrong
11:00 AM — Conduct colony perimeter sweep
1:00 PM — Nap in sunbeam for operational recovery
4:00 PM — Stare mysteriously into nothing
7:00 PM — Patrol under cover of darkness
10:00 PM — Knock something over for the fun of it

Current status: shaken, not stirred. Tuna, not chicken.

Stay vigilant out there, citizens. Oliver is watching. 🐾

A tiny whiskered wanderer, soft as morning light,
Found a cozy corner, warm and safe at night.
At Neighborhood Cats Network, with gentle hands and care,
An orphaned little heartbeat learned love was always there.

With playful paws and curious eyes,
Chasing dreams and fluttering flies,
Growing stronger every day...
Until a forever home comes his way.

Excuse me. It’s Lottie here. Senior NCN Community Cat. Regional watch captain. Part-time squirrel supervisor. Full-time raccoon critic. Big Possum Fan!

Now listen… I try very hard to be accepting of all creatures. I really do. But the raccoons? Absolutely not.

Every night they show up wearing those little burglar masks like they’re starring in some kind of crime documentary. They waddle up to my feeding station, wash their paws in the water bowl like tiny fuzzy aristocrats, and then act shocked when I hiss at them.

One of them had the audacity to stare directly at me while stealing an entire tuna dinner last week. No shame. No manners. Just chaos.

But the possums? Oh, the possums and I have an understanding.
They handle sanitation. I handle security.
It’s a highly sophisticated interspecies partnership.

While I conduct aerial surveillance from my tree branch headquarters, the possums quietly patrol the grounds eating ticks and cleaning up nature’s messes like tiny overworked municipal employees.

And when I say they eat ticks, I mean a lot of ticks, like up to 5,000 ticks per season each, which frankly is more public service than most of the area combined in a single night shift.

We don’t speak much. Mostly professional nods. Mutual respect. Occasionally one of them waddles by while I’m on patrol and I give them “the look,” which in wildlife terms means, “Carry on, good citizen.”

Frankly, they’re excellent coworkers.

No drama. No stealing entire buffet trays. No washing spaghetti in the water bowl at 3 a.m. like the raccoons.
The possums come in, do their jobs, and disappear into the night like environmentally responsible little ghosts.

So if you see me glaring judgmentally from a tree branch at 2 a.m., don’t worry. The wildlife task force is fully operational.

The streets are safe.
The ticks are terrified.
And the raccoons remain under investigation.

Love,
Lottie
Community Cat & Wildlife Relations Specialist

Out here, survival isn’t a choice…it’s the only option.

For community cats, every single day is uncertain. Food isn’t guaranteed. Shelter is whatever they can find. Winters are brutal, summers bring their own dangers, and injuries go untreated. Kittens are born into this cycle over and over again, fragile, vulnerable, and with the odds stacked against them from the very start.

This is the reality for so many cats living right in our neighborhoods. Not lost. Not abandoned in the way people imagine. Just… forgotten.

And here’s the hard truth: this problem didn’t start with the cats. It started with us.

Unspayed and unneutered pets, abandonment, lack of access to resources, over time, it created generations of cats forced to survive outdoors. They didn’t choose this life. It was created for them.

But they don’t have to keep suffering because of it.

At Neighborhood Cats Network (NCN), we step into that gap between survival and suffering. Through Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return-Manage (TNVRM), we stop the endless cycle of breeding so cats no longer have to endure litter after litter. We provide food so they don’t go hungry. We build and place insulated cabins so they have warmth and safety. And when they’re sick or injured, we get them the care they deserve.

When we find kittens or friendly cats, we bring them into our Foster and Adoption Program, giving them a path off the streets and a chance at the forever homes they deserve.

Because these cats matter. Their lives matter.

We cannot do this without you. Every cabin we build, every meal we provide, every life we save depends on the compassion and generosity of people who care.

Your support, no matter the size, directly impacts whether a cat survives the night, receives medical care, or gets the chance to live a safer, healthier life.

100% of every donation goes directly back to them, the ones out there right now, waiting for their next meal, their next safe place to rest, their next chance. Visit our website at neighborhoodcatsnetwork.org and learn more about our work.

People created this problem. People can be the solution.

Be part of the change.

And if you or someone you know is looking to adopt a cat or kitten, we hope you will consider adopting from Neighborhood Cats Network, because every adoption makes room for us to take in another homeless cat or kitten.
