Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Dayton Community Cat Project?
    The Dayton Community Cat Project was founded by a small group of animal-loving volunteers who have many years of collective experience helping community cats in the Dayton area. With this project we are excited to expand upon our work by helping the benevolent people who care for them.
  • What is a "community cat"?"
    According to Animal Humane Society: "Community cats are un-owned cats that live outdoors in the community. They may be feral or friendly, may have been born into the wild, or may be lost or abandoned pets."
  • What is a "caregiver"?"
    In the Dayton region, there are tens of thousands of cats living on the street. If fortunate enough, they are cared for by individuals who selflessly feed and oversee their safety. Quite often, these caregivers incur a considerable monthly expense. "Colony" size may range from a few cats to a dozen or more.
