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).

Alley Cat Project is a non profit organization run by volunteers working to reduce the cat population through humane solutions such as trap, neuter, return (TNR).
ISO: working cat placement! We have a handful of cats that are lingering in our care; not friendly enough to be adopted but cannot safely be returned to where they were found. If you have pests, we have a solution! These cats will ideally go to an indoor-only setting (brewery, warehouse, shop, etc). They are not aggressive but prefer to keep to themselves. We will guide you through the entire process! ![]()

People often ask our fosters, "How do you give them up?"![]()

The honest answer is that it never gets easy. Fostering is an act of intense emotional labor. It’s monitoring fragile kittens, managing medications, cleaning up messes, and loving a cat with everything you have, knowing your time together is temporary.![]()

To the foster moms who willingly break their own hearts just a little bit so these cats can have a beautiful life: we see you, and we are endlessly grateful. Thank you for doing the hard part. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! 🌸![]()

Sometimes the best way to rescue a cat is to feed them first! We often use trap training, which involves locking traps open for a few days so cats get used to eating inside the trap without any scary "snaps." This turns the trap into a familiar dinner spot rather than a threat. ![]()

For this Capitol Hill family, we paired that training with a feeding routine so we knew exactly when they’d be ready for breakfast. That patience paid off, Mama and four of her kittens are now safe indoors! We still have two little ones hiding in the garage, but we’re sticking to the routine and monitoring our trail cams until everyone is reunited. Stay tuned for the "full house" update!
