What Businesses Should Know

Community cats often live near businesses because these areas provide shelter, warmth, and relative safety. When managed properly, community cat colonies can coexist peacefully with businesses and customers.

Managed colonies are different

A managed colony means:

• Cats are spayed or neutered

• Feeding is controlled and monitored

• Areas are kept clean

• Issues are addressed quickly

  
  

This reduces common concerns such as odors, noise, and litter.

Why removing cats usually backfires

When cats are removed, new unfixed cats often move in. This leads to:

• More cats, not fewer

• Increased noise and territorial behavior

• Ongoing complaints

• 
  

Managed cats help prevent this cycle by holding their territory.
