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).

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 🫶
Our foster cats are really ramping up their ✨Tongue Out Tuesday ✨ skills. This guy is nominated for Longest Licker 😛 What other skills should we be awarding??
Today is National Take Your Cat To The Vet day! Alley Cat Project alumni Zara and Noorie are setting an example by having their first of many annual vet visits to come. Your cat says they’re fine. Unfortunately, they’re also professionally trained at hiding when they’re not.Cats need routine vet visits just like dogs do, even indoor cats! Vaccines and preventatives still matter, and regular exams can catch things like kidney disease, heart disease, cancer, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes earlier, when intervention can make a bigger difference.Because cats are experts at hiding when something is wrong.Your cat may not thank you for the vet visit. But their future self will.#nationaltakeyourcattothevetday #AlleyCatProject #catsofseattle #adoptdontshop
For this week�#ThrowbackThursdayrsday, we have a very special glow-up for you!When little Madrona came into our care, she was tiny, bony, and incredibly sick with a painful eye infection and calicivirus. Her journey involved a scary ER visit, weeks of syringe feeding, and daily treatments just to keep her stable.But Madrona is a fighter! After more than two months of round-the-clock supportive care, she completely turned the corner. Watching her blossom from a frail, sick baby into a healthy, playful kitten was the ultimate reward. And the absolute best part of this story? She didn't have to leave her best friend behind. Madrona has found her forever home together with her brother, Douglas Fir!Transformations like this take a village. Every dollar helps cover emergency vet visits, life-saving medications, and daily foster care for sick kittens.
