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).

Fospice is where heartbreak and love live side by side. 💔🤍![]()

It’s early mornings for medications, extra vet visits, and whispering “you’re safe” over and over again. It’s knowing the goodbye is coming, and choosing to love anyway.![]()

Recently, we said goodbye to three very special souls: Paulie Walnuts, Marshmallow, and Albert. Each of them came to us with serious, life-limiting illnesses. There was no cure - only comfort. And because of their incredible fospice caregivers, their final chapters were filled with warmth, dignity, and devotion.![]()

Fospice care is one of the greatest gifts we can give - but it comes at a cost. Diagnostics, medications, specialty diets, emergency visits, and ongoing supportive care add up quickly. We say yes because they deserve comfort, even when time is short.![]()

If you’d like to honor Paulie Walnuts, Marshmallow, and Albert, please consider making a donation in their names. Your support allows us to continue saying yes to the next fragile life who just needs a soft place to land.![]()

Love is not measured in years. It’s measured in safety, comfort, and being held until the very end🌈

He visited @feralcatproject yesterday to get neutered & vaccinated ❤️
We received a report of a young calico cat living under a boarded up house that was scheduled to be demolished. Alley Cat Project volunteers contacted the real estate agent to gain access to the property and place a trail cam, food and eventually were able to successfully trap her. We were in for a special treat when we got to know her. Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon 🥰. PS. Did you know that Alley Cat Project is run solely by volunteers across Seattle? We provide trap/neuter/return (TNR) services for feral cats, reunite lost cats with their families, provide medical care to injured feral cats, we foster cats, host adoption events, and so much more!
