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).

🛑STOP🛑Do you know what to do when you find kittens? Our first instinct is usually to snap them up and whisk away to safety. There’s a few considerations to take before making any moves.

Unplanned rescue mission complete! ✅One of our volunteers was alerted to a young cat that has been living near a dumpster. The volunteer jumped into action and had this sweetie scooped up quickly! This cat is sooooo sweet but definitely has some skin issues, either fleas or allergies or both. She has super itchy, bumpy skin but seems to be in good spirits. Hopefully NOT living in a dumpster helps solve those issues quickly. ❌🗑️You can make a donation to our spring cat care mission at the link in bio or by commenting “Give Big” ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Did you receive our newsletter this morning? We shared a little backstory on this adorable (and very grey!) family that recently came into our care. Over the next few weeks we'll continue to share stories of resilient mothers & babies who have made it off the street thanks to community members like YOU looking out for them. By supporting our GiveBIG campaign, you can help us continue to reduce suffering through spay & neuter and TNR.

Before the Freedom Friday posts; before the pleas for foster parents & food & vet care support…there’s a whole lot of THIS. Sitting, waiting, watching. Sometimes we’ll have a group of cats that are so hungry they walk right into the traps and we’ve completed the job in a few hours. Sometimes, it takes a lot more patience and creativity to entice them into the trap. No takers this time, so we’ll be back to try again next weekend.Do you have flexible Sundays and a fair amount of patience?

Happy National Pet Day from recent adoptee, Pebbles! ❤️Pebbles was found in West Seattle in December and adopted by his forever family before the end of January! His foster mom had a hard time saying goodbye - but the great thing about goodbyes for foster parents is it means that they get to say “hello!” to a new cat in need. Our foster network keeps us going and we appreciate them so much! ... See MoreSee Less
