Alley Cat Project’s primary mission is to reduce the population of stray cats in Seattle through trap, neuter, and return of feral cats. We spay and neuter feral adult cats, and we foster, socialize and adopt out kittens as well as adult cats who have socialization potential. ACP is 100% volunteer run and foster based, and does not have a physical shelter.
What We Do
Here are some things we do to help Seattle’s feral, stray and abandoned cats:
- Trap, Neuter (or spay), and Return (TNR) feral cats to their colonies. TNR is a humane solution to the problem of unowned free roaming cats.
- Foster friendly cats who were lost or abandoned so that they can be redeemed by an owner or adopted to a new family.
- Socialize semi-friendly kittens and cats so they can be adopted as pets.
- Provide basic medical care, nutritious food, and safe and sanitary conditions to all cats after alteration.
- Alter cats through the services of Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project (FCSNP).

Our kitties love any excuse for a yummy treat, so they were very excited about these @bonkers_pets Halloween Purr Pops! 🎃
ACP has been working this site since June. A resident called about 7 strays they’d been feeding in their yard and wanted help. Our trappers got right to work! “Big Red”, the handsome orange gentleman shown here, was one of the first to be trapped. ![]()
![]()
He let us know quickly that he was not a big fan of humans or being indoors. So, he got neutered, vaccinated, and a basic health checkup, then back outdoors he went! He has continued to eat at his favorite spot, so we know he is doing well. ![]()

This neighborhood has multiple active sites, and Big Red was spotted at nearly all of them. He made some lady friends during his visits and is likely the father of multiple litters that we’ve recovered from the area. ![]()

Spaying or neutering your pets is an easy way you can help the cat overpopulation crisis. Calling your local TNR group when you see unfixed community cats is another 💪
