Feral Cat Colony Caretaker Sponsor Organizations
Feral cat colony caretakers who are practicing TNR must register their colonies with a Sponsor Oganization to be in compliance with the Cook County Managed Care of Feral Cats Ordinance. In order to register your colony, you must comply with these steps:
- Read the Cook County Feral Cats Ordinance , as registered colonies are subject to the terms of the ordinance.
- Fill out the Feral Cat Colony Caretaker Application and mail/fax it to the Sponsor Organization closest to your colony.
- Continue to practice responsible colony management, including TNR.
On behalf of their registered caretakers, a Sponsor Organization will:
- provide TNR educational resources and services.
- report to the county.
- help resolve any complaints over the conduct of a feral cat colony caretaker or of cats within the colony.
- assist in finding an alternate caretaker in the event that the caretaker can no longer care for his/her cats.
