About Us

Community Cat Network of Cincinnati was established in 2022 to provide medical aid funding for community cats in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Currently, CCN provides up to $250 per approved case for sick and injured unowned cats. We rely on community members and colony caretakers to trap, transport, and foster (when necessary) the cats that we are supporting. Community Cat Network will loan traps and crates to feeders /colony caregivers when necessary. All cats under the care of the Community Cat Network will be altered before being released.

Community Cat Network does not have a physical location and we are unable to foster cats, which is why we rely heavily on colony caregivers/feeders. We do not intake cats, and we do not adopt out cats. In the event that a cat under our care is friendly, we will make every effort to reach out to local rescues to find placement once the cat is deemed medically healthy.
