The Washington Heights Cat Colony (aka "WaHi Cats") is an all-volunteer, non-profit TNR (trap-neuter-return) group located in upper Manhattan. We are dedicated to humanely reducing the local feral cat population by using the TNR method; to educating the surrounding community about the benefits of TNR programs; to placing adoptable cats and kittens from cat colonies in homes where possible; and to maintaining the health and well-being of our neighborhood feral cat colonies by providing ongoing care (food, water, shelter, and medical treatment) for the feral, stray, and abandoned cats in our community.
The Washington Heights Cat Colony has been making a critical difference for feral cats in upper Manhattan since 2005, when we TNR'd our first colony. We became a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2008. Every year, we TNR (trap-neuter-return) hundreds of feral cats, and find forever homes and foster care for dozens of "friendlies." Everything we do is made possible by the generosity of our volunteers and donors.
Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram for regular updates on our activities in the Heights, plus pictures of our latest rescues, adoptable cats, and TNR'd colonies.
