DENVER (KDVR) — An estimated 100 feral cats are at risk in what some say may be Denver’s largest colony of its kind.
Animal rescue volunteers fear the cats could starve to death at an apartment complex where they have lived for years if certain changes are made to their living environment. The volunteers who are trying to help the cats say if they are moved out of there, they will not be able to adapt to a new environment and could die.

The feral cats build tight-knit colonies which could be seen in several different areas of the apartment complex on Monday. Animal rescue volunteers believe there may be more than 100 cats living at the sprawling property located near Leetsdale Drive and South Oneida Street.
FOX31 was told most of them live under the complex and enter through breaks in the concrete foundation. Some residents said the cats are not causing problems.
“I think they are cute. They are usually over there. We don’t get to see them as much,” said resident Briana Valencia.
