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).

Sometimes Big Boy Thursday is just not as exciting to the Big Boys as it is to the rest of us! This community cat is about 2½ years old and weighs 13.2 pounds, and he visited us from Alley Cat Project this week for his neuter, vaccines, and flea treatment. We also noticed he had a small puncture wound on the right side of his chest, so we cleaned it and administered a long-lasting antibiotic to help it heal.![]()

This kind of injury is not uncommon on an unneutered tom, sad to say. This guy was no doubt relieved to get his rest here while he could. But now he’ll find he has less interest in roaming and fighting, which means his life will be more peaceful from here on out!![]()

Last night, the Seattle Storm team won game two of the playoffs against the Las Vegas Aces! This means we have another chance of advancing on Thursday. ![]()

We can’t prove it but we’re pretty sure foster Skylar Diggins, named after legendary player number 4, was the good luck charm that pulled the win!
Caturday Cuddles!![]()
Grizzle, our sweet black tomcat with the big cheeks, is thriving in his forever home! His mom says, “He loves head-butts and cuddles (sometimes at 7 AM on a Saturday😅) and just discovered a favorite toy. Now he’s jumping, running, and having a blast!”
Jenn and Kari, employees at the Washington State Ferries warehouse, spotted mama cat and what looked like just three kittens. They reached out to ACP, and our volunteers jumped into action. But clever mama had a surprise—she was actually raising seven kittens! Halfway through the trapping process, she moved her kittens next door to the Abbrio warehouse and hid them among the pallets.![]()

Over the next few days, we were able to safely bring all seven kittens into foster care. They’re now warm, fed, and starting to learn that humans can be trusted.![]()
Mama was eventually humanely trapped, spayed, and returned to her outdoor home. She’ll continue to be fed and cared for by Jenn and Kari, who stayed involved every step of the way.![]()

Jenn and Kari even came by to visit the kittens, bringing toys, treats, kitten food, and even a tub of Churu! How cute is that!![]()

This rescue highlights the power of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and what a community can accomplish together—protecting mama’s health, giving kittens a chance at safe, happy lives, and showing that teamwork truly saves lives.
August brought 49 adoptions- bringing us to 357 cats adopted this year! 🥳 We’re so happy for these kitties and their new families, and thankful for everyone fostering, adopting, and supporting us 💛
