We are asking management to keep Mimi, Morris, and Mookie’s feeding area at Evan and Alice’s home base at 7 & Bridge, where they have belonged for years. These cats are part of the community here and they also remind many of us of beloved manager John Colao. We are grateful to Evan and Alice for continuing to feed and care for them in his absence.
Moving the cats’ feeding area away from their home and into a common walkway would create avoidable safety concerns for the other pets at 7 & Bridge as well as for the cats. A shared walkway is not a good place for animals that have long been cared for in a stable, familiar spot. It would lead to confusion, stress, and conflict in a space where people and their dogs pass through every day to get to the dog park.
Mimi, Morris, and Mookie are harmless where they are. They spend time in front of Evan and Alice’s unit - their feeding area has already been moved to the far side of their patio, away from their neighbors. There is no good reason to force a change that would place them and other animals at risk.
We ask management to respect the cats’ home base, leave their feeding area in place, and let Evan and Alice continue caring for them as they have been doing. This is the humane and sensible choice for the cats, the residents and their pets, and the wider 7 & Bridge community.

URGENT - Meeting with Management tomorrow 8:30am!
July 29, 2026
Hi All, Management is escalating the situation and planning to trap and cage the cats. We do not understand what the issue is that has come up with the new residents of John's unit. Yasmin is meeting the neighbors tomorrow at 8:30am to discuss at the BBQ area. Please attend if you can! We are concerned about safety for other indoor/outdoor cats. We are concerned that whatever the new resident's concerns are, they are taking precedence over all the other residents. We are are concerned that the situation is becoming unsafe for other pets as well as for Morris, Mimi, and Mookie.

Whoever has moved into John’s old unit should’ve been notified of the cats that still live in the area and are taken care of by the community. There should be a discussion of solutions here before any kind of trapping or removal is even considered.
These cats are part of our community. This is their home. They also keep the rodents away. There is no good reason to remove and/or relocate them.
This has been Mimi & Morris’ home & part of the community for what I understand is about 10 years. Evan and Alice have already moved the feeding area to the opposite side of their patio near the brick wall of 2121 far away from the walkway or the patio of the new tenants who have only been here a few months. They don’t bother anyone, they’re out of the way and it feels really unreasonable to demand they be put out the middle of a community area where there’s no safety & a lot of dog traffic
Thank you so much for the support! We love Mimi, Mookie, and Morris and we want them to continue to feel safe on our patio. 💜
These cats aren’t causing chaos, they’re part of what gives this community its soul. Many residents enjoy seeing them quietly sunbathing, wandering the gardens, or simply existing alongside us. They remind us that this isn’t just another apartment complex; it’s a creative community with history and heart. Keeping the cats is about honoring the community we’ve inherited, respecting John’s legacy, and preserving the unique character that makes this place feel like home.
This is where they live.
I hope that and trust that our feedback will show that we support fostering a stable and peaceful shared environment for all parties concerned-- animal and human alike.

I have been a resident here since 2020 and the cats have always been part of the community. John told me all about the cats when I first moved in and know how much he cared about them. I hope that Evan and Alice can continue caring for them as John would have wanted 💕
