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).

Every Friday, we celebrate the "Return" part of TNR. Watching a cat go from quiet anticipation to an absolute rockstar sprint is exactly why we do what we do. Healthy, ear tipped and ready to rock! ![]()

For many community cats, "home" is the great outdoors. Our goal is to ensure they stay healthy, happy and safe in the colonies they call home. Today, we are celebrating another successful return.
Closing out our 2026 ACP Calendar – Queens Edition series with Etta!![]()

Etta was found malnourished and hiding under a blueberry bramble in South Seattle, caring for five newborn kittens while still a kitten herself. All of her babies grew strong and found homes, and Etta has since been adopted too.![]()

Now about a year old, Etta is rediscovering life as a carefree cat. She greets everyone with soft trills and purrs easily! She loves chin and head scratches, wand toys, and her favorite shrimp burrito toy that was gifted by the kind person who found her. Calm, gentle, and deeply affectionate, Etta is everything a Queen should be.![]()
