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).

The "Before" photos show the moment healing began, safe in a foster home, learning for the first time what it feels like to have a full bowl and a soft bed. The "After" photos? That’s the finish line. That’s the look of a cat who knows they are exactly where they belong.![]()

‼️ Kitten season has arrived ‼️![]()

We got a call this evening about a litter of kittens found behind a Goodwill. Eyes still closed. Umbilical cords still attached. One of the siblings deceased. Within an hour, volunteers had the kittens in hand, ready to warm them up and start the labor intensive task of bottle feeding. ![]()

This sweetie arrived with her brother, and we are keeping fingers crossed that they pull through. We are guessing 3-4 days old. Our bottle feeders are more than capable, but it’s still scary when they are so young and fragile. ![]()

Stay tuned for updates, and an updated “kitten season wishlist” coming soon to a screen near you! ![]()

We are anticipating that 2026 will be our busiest year yet and that means.... we need more fosters!! We know, we know- this feels like a neverending request. That's because it is! With the requests for help outpacing adoptions, we are constantly needing to expand our network. Fostering is easier than you think - you provide the space and love; we'll provide the rest.
