caregiving
Cat Solutions 305 administers Cat Stats Miami, a confidential database of free-roaming outdoor cat colonies throughout the greater Miami and surrounding areas. By signing up the cats or cat colonies you care for, you will be eligible to connect with volunteer, humane cat trappers in your zip code plus more. Anyone caring for a colony of cats can join – TNR certification is recommended, but not required. If all of your cats are not fixed yet, you can still join.

Join our private, confidential community of volunteer cat caregivers and help us support the outdoor cats you care for! By signing up your cats, you’ll receive updates on our frequent free cat food distribution events. We know that caring for community cats can be challenging, and we’re here to make it easier for you. Sign up your cats today to ensure you never miss an opportunity to pick up essential supplies for your colony or receive our free Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return services!
Why you should sign up:

It could save your cats’ lives!
When an ear tipped cat is brought to a shelter, the colony database will help to locate the colony that the cat originated from and notify the caretaker. This job is made much easier if the colony is registered in the database. If your colony is not registered and you cannot be contacted, an alternative placement for your cat may not be found and euthanasia could be the outcome.

The data is helpful in securing funding for TNVR.
Information in the confidential database on the number of colonies and sterilized cats in specific areas can help our community cats receive additional funding through grants.

Data can help prove TNVR works.
One of the metrics tracked by the database is changes in colony size over time. Your experience with your colony may support our advocacy of pro-TNVR policies.

Maintain a well-managed community-wide system.
Despite its many successes over the years, TNVR still has very vocal opponents who would like to see the practice end. By having a database with a high rate of participation by caretakers, we can show we are organized and run an effective, responsible program.
If you are caring for and/or feeding outdoor cats or cat colonies, please sign up with Cat Stats Miami today to receive ongoing support for your cats. You will be eligible to receive notifications for free cat food when available, find available trappers in your neighborhood and be eligible for our free TNVR services. We know it is important for you and the safety of your cats to keep the location of your colony and your identity private. Your information will only be used by authorized Cat Solutions 305 administrators to track colonies and provide support and/or dispatch trapper teams in cooperation with you.
