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).

‼️Do you live or work near Seattle Center and recognize this cat? We’ve been receiving calls to help her for months and we REALLY want to, but her location makes it difficult! ‼️Trapping in business & industrial areas adds a whole new set of challenges for our trappers. First, we don’t know who feeds her. Trapping is dependent on cats having a single, reliable feeding location. We are also restricted by business hours, private property, and the inability to knock on doors. This cat recently had kittens -the kittens were brought to safety quickly but mom escaped. We want to get her fixed so she no longer has to deal with raising babies next to a busy road! Please contact our team if you know the whereabouts of this most wanted cat

Fresh Sunday Catch! 🎣Thankful that we were able to trap this kiddo today so she doesn’t have to wait any longer for medical attention. Want to contribute to her care? Every dollar helps us provide spay/neuter services and additional veterinary care as needed❤️ comment DONATE to see ways to give
When someone tells you there X amount of cats, multiply that by 4 to get the true minimum number of cats you’re going to find 😂😫🫠The trapper working this site inadvertently trapped 24 cats in one morning - bad news for our strained holding spaces, GREAT news for the cat overpopulation crisis! We are hopeful that once more cats get adopted, we’ll be able to retrap some of the friendlier guys from this site and get them into foster care. For now, we are able to monitor via trail cameras and know they are being cared for by neighbors. If you’ve ever wanted to support your local rescue group, now is the time! There are so many ways to get involved - visit the link in our bio to learn more ❤️#alleycatproject #tnr #seattle #spayandneuter #catrescue
Swipe for a sweet before & after! 🥹Roomba (named for her ability to navigate around the house) is a blind community cat we recently trapped and whisked into foster care.Last week, she visited the vet to take a closer look at her eyes and make sure she wasn’t experiencing any discomfort. Unfortunately, the initial exam raised concerns about possible cancerous masses behind both eyes.The good news? Roomba doesn’t seem particularly bothered by whatever is going on. The even better news? Thanks to our incredible supporters, we were able to say YES to a specialist referral. ❤️We’re hopeful the specialist can give us some answers- and, ideally, a way to fix whatever is happening behind those sweet (very sleepy!) eyes. Roomba also has some serious old outdoor-kitty mouth going on, including at least one broken tooth. Once we get her eyes sorted out, we’d love to help her get the dental care she needs, too. Follow along to stay up to date with Roomba’s journey! ❤️
Dinner is served 👩🍳Back in 2017, we helped a community member spay & neuter 20 cats he was caring for in his neighborhood. Some were eligible for adoption, and the rest were returned. He has been feeding the remaining 9 for nearly 10 years 🥹 Now, he’s moving out of the city and wanted to make sure the cats were taken care of. He called Alley Cat Project for help. Our volunteers are dedicated to caring for cats and two of them jumped at the chance to help. They visit daily to feed the cats and monitor their overall wellbeing ❤️There are so many ways that folks can support their community cats - whether that’s donating funds or food, transporting, feeding ferals, trapping, or fostering. There truly is a role for everyone in rescue. Visit our link in bio if you want to lend a hand 🫶
