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).

Volunteer Kris is our go-to morning clinic driver and has helped us transport hundreds of cats to their spay/neuter appointments. She is an integral part of the work we do and probably not what folks think of when they think “cat rescue volunteer” but we couldn’t do it without her! ![]()

Another volunteer will pick up the cats this afternoon and shuttle them back to their foster homes. And then we’ll do it all over again next week 😊
We currently have over 300 cats in our care and are flying through our supplies. If you’re going to shop over the next few days, please consider adding on a little something for your local rescue ❤️
Two of the SEVENTEEN cats we managed to wrangle this afternoon for a last minute spay/neuter opening at Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project ! That’s 17 cats that will no longer be breeding and contributing to the cycle of suffering 🥳 ![]()
Thankful for our partners at FCSNP, thankful to our volunteers for spending this HOT Tuesday collecting kitties!

If you see a comment on any of our posts advertising t-shirts and other merch, this is a scam. These scammers often tag our supporters and ask them to buy items. Please do not click on any of these links or purchase any items. ![]()

We currently do not have an online store, and only sell our merch in person at events. We would also never tag you in a comment asking you to buy things.![]()

Our team tries to report, delete and block these scam users and posts as soon as possible. However, sometimes we miss them. If you could report the comment under fraud/scam, and direct message us which post has the spam, that would be really helpful. ![]()

Thank you so much for all your support and if anyone purchased anything from fraudulent links, we recommend you reach out to your bank.
We are beyond thankful for the foster parent who said “I’ll take ‘em” when we were seeking placement for these 9 kittens that were pulled from under a deck. ![]()

We have slowed down intake once again because we just don’t have SPACE for all the cats needing to come indoors. Do you have a bathroom, guest room, office? Sign up to foster in the link in bio. ![]()

Adoptions dip in the summer, which means we are always dealing with a bottleneck situation - peak kitten season; volunteers on vacation; and cats not leaving our system as quickly as normal. Even by offering a short term foster space, you can help so many cats in need! 😻
