Colony caretaker Margaret cares for 20 fixed cats and they all have names and are loved. So when a new one shows up, she’s acts right away! This tiny gentleman presented himself with an injured paw. Margaret secured him in a carrier and I got him to Pet Community Center for help. Some antibiotics and a neuter later, this sweet boy could not stop making biscuits in his kennel! Mario is an amazing, gentle 9-month-old, available for adoption at 100 Oaks PetSmart in Nashville. He is FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped and up to date on his shots and preventatives. I wish I had a better picture, but he instantly comes up to rub my face with his when I open the kennel door. 😭 He is a love bug!

Hello friends! We are struggling to bring in enough money to support the feral cats we pledge to help each month. I’d love to collaborate with someone who has experience raising funds on a shoestring budget. If you have fundraising experience and an hour to meet up, please reach out. Thanks! -Erica

Would you like to learn how to safely trap cats for spay/neuter? Gomez and all his ~30 friends need your help. Their neighborhood in Madison is about to be exploding at the seams with kitties, but we can get them all fixed before the first wave of kitten season. I’m waiting to get the date from PCC: I hope it will be within one month!
Here’s what we need:
🐈‍⬛ people to pick up traps at and bring them to the site
🐈people to set traps, watch them, move trapped cats into cars and drive them to on an upcoming Sunday.
🐈‍⬛ people to keep trapping stragglers the next couple days/evenings.
🐈people to pick up the cats at PCC and return them to their colonies after recovery—then clean the traps and return them to PCC

Never trapped before? No problem. I’m an expert trapper and will guide you every step of the way!

I'm so grateful to announce that the Cat Colony Food Pantry is the recipient of the 2025 Tiny But Mighty Fund's Chico Award! Inspired by her love of one very special dog, Marcia Masulla established the fund and award to "recognize an outstanding individual who contributes to the welfare, brings awareness, assists in the prevention of animal cruelty, and/or raises funds for animals in our community." The award of $1,000 supports 400 Nashville cats and their devoted caretakers!

I was honored to receive this award alongside Margaret Harmon, the person who first showed me that feeding colony cats was an unmet need in Nashville's animal welfare community. Margaret still cares for 20 cats, helps her neighbors manage their colonies and acts as a TNR evangelist in the community. And she has become a dear friend to me. I love you, Margaret!

I couldn't do this work without our donors who support the pantry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me in taking action on the belief that colony caretakers deserve our support, respect and admiration.

Special thanks to board member Sarah Sylvester for being my co-conspirator and strategist, to Pet Community Center for providing affordable spay/neuter and vaccines for community cats, and Berry Hill Animal Hospital for going the extra mile for cats, even the extra spicy ones!

And thank you Marcia Masulla for establishing this fund in honor of your beloved Chico. Sometimes it feels like we are barely making a dent: There are so many animals in need, there are so few resources, and the world can be cruel to both animals and people. I am buoyed by this recognition and hopeful for the future. Let's keep feeding cats and helping people, one colony at a time!

My sweet Theo is still lost! Please keep an eye out for him, regardless of where you live in Nashville.

If you see him, TAKE PICTURES 📸 and send to Erica: 615/669/1179

He got out 1/7/26 at Snow Ave and Mayview Dr in Madison, TN. He had been adopted two days prior and his adopter left the window open. Theo previously lived in a colony off Harding Place (close to Nolensville). He may be trying to get back there.

Sightings are not helpful without a picture. I love you, but there are thousands of tuxedo cats living outside and it is not possible to investigate all of them. Please study these images carefully and take pictures. Thank you!o

LOST CAT: Got out 1/7/2026 in Madison, TN at Snow Avenue and Mayview Drive near Amqui Elementary. Contact 6I5-669-II79.

With respect, I am not looking for advice—just possible sightings of Theo!

Please note physical description carefully before contacting, as there are many similar cats in the area. If you can, please take a picture or video and text to me, then put out some food (cat or dog food, canned fish or chicken) to try to entice him to stick around.

He will be shy and scared. Please do not chase him or approach. He is microchipped to Nashville Cat Rescue.

He has no collar. Note his tipped left ear, distinct markings on his front legs, and black spot on his chin. He is posted on all relevant FB groups, Paw Boost and 24PetConnect. I’ve hung signs and distributed 400 flyers. (Doing more tomorrow!) I have trail cams set up with feeding stations. I have physically looked all around the site where he got lost and continue to do so.

He lived outside in a colony (19 miles away) his whole life and had just been adopted (I was his foster), so he may not be displaying typical “lost indoor cat behavior.”

Thanks for helping!
