Cat Colony Management System
Empowering communities to care for feral cats through organized TNR programs, health tracking, and collaborative caretaking.
Everything You Need to Manage Cat Colonies
Track Individual Cats
Maintain detailed profiles for each cat including health records, photos, TNR status, and behavioral observations.
Coordinate Caretakers
Assign roles, manage schedules, and communicate with your team of volunteers to ensure consistent care.
Map Colony Locations
Visualize colonies, feeding stations, and cat sightings on interactive maps for better coordination.
How It Works
After you sign up, a short quick-start walks you through the first two steps in about a minute. A "Get started" checklist on your dashboard keeps track of all three until they are done.
Step 1: Create your colony
Give it a name and, if you like, pin its location on the map. That is all the quick-start asks for; every other detail can be filled in later.
Step 2: Add your cats
Add each cat by name, with a photo if you have one. Build out TNR status, health records, and observations as you get to know them.
Step 3: Log activity and coordinate
Record feedings, sightings, and tasks, invite fellow caretakers, and set up a weekly feeding schedule so no day goes uncovered.
Already part of a colony? Ask its admin for an invite link and you will join their team instead of starting from scratch.
Our Commitment
Always Free
Our platform is and will always be free for cat colony caretakers and volunteers.
Ad-Free Experience
Focus on what matters - caring for cats - without distracting advertisements.
Privacy First
Colony locations are protected. Only approved caretakers can access sensitive information.
Why Is It Free?
Cat Colony Tracker is a non-profit project of Craig Cares, built for the volunteers who feed and look after community cats. We do not want cost to be the reason a colony goes untracked.
- No paid tier. Every feature is available to every caretaker, whether you look after one colony or run a rescue.
- No ads. Nothing on the site is sponsored or promoted.
- No data selling. Your colony records are shared only with the caretakers you work with. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what we collect.
- Free to learn from, too. Our caretaker guides on TNR, feeding, health, and shelter are open to everyone, no account needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cat Colony Tracker really free?
Yes. Every feature is free for every caretaker, whether you look after one colony or run a rescue. There is no paid tier and no advertising. Cat Colony Tracker is a non-profit project of Craig Cares.
Who is Cat Colony Tracker for?
Anyone who looks after community or feral cats: individual feeders, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) volunteers, caretaker teams that share a colony, and rescue groups that coordinate several colonies.
What can I track?
Colonies and their locations, individual cats with photos and TNR status, health records, vaccinations and medications, feedings, sightings, behavior observations, tasks, trapping sessions and equipment, supplies, and colony donations and expenses.
How does the volunteer feeding schedule work?
Each colony has a weekly feeding schedule. Volunteers take a regular day or sign up for a single date, and anyone who cannot make a shift can request coverage, so open days are easy to spot and fill.
Can volunteers without an account be on the schedule?
Yes. A colony admin can add a volunteer by name, with an optional email address or phone number for notifications, and schedule them right away. Later the admin can send them a link to create an account and take over their record.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Cat Colony Tracker is a mobile-first web app built for use at feeding stations, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. There is nothing to download from an app store.
