What We Do

Northern Colorado Friends of Ferals (NCFF) is a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to providing help to feral cats and their committed caretakers in Northern Colorado.

NCFF arose, as many groups do, out of a clear need to address the ever-growing numbers of unsocialized cats living out their lives in the shadows in trailer parks, industrial areas, rural areas, and urban neighborhoods.

Trapping feral cats and getting them spayed and neutered is difficult logistically and financially for most people. Consequently, most cat colony caretakers simply feed these cats and allow them to reproduce. Ultimately, they become a nuisance and an unaffordable expense. We provide the lowest cost spay/neuter services that we can to stay viable.

Trapping, neutering, vaccinating, and returning cats to managed colonies is the only effective way to reduce colony numbers. It is far more cost effective to neuter than to kill these animals. This is the proverbial win-win solution for cats and humans alike. Our focus is on large colonies in rural areas.

Northern Colorado Friend of Ferals’ philosophy is based on the Alley Cat Allies methods of TNR.

What we are unable to do

NCFF does not have a facility or a shelter so we are unable to provide a home for cats. We find adoption homes through Animal Rescue of the Rockies, space permitting.

We can spay/neuter cats only on clinic days by appointment. If you want to humanely trap your feral cats yourself for a clinic, we encourage you to borrow traps from us. Call Leslie Vogt at (970) 224-1467 to schedule.

Relocating feral cats is not recommended and not part of what NCFF does unless cats are in extreme peril.
