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).

Another #freedomfriday for you this week featuring ACP alum, Snickers. Fun fact, Snickers is polydactyl, and his extra declaws kept growing into his paw pads, causing tremendous pain. Our partners over at @feralcatproject went above and beyond to make sure they resolved his paw issue to avoid more pain in the future. We cant wait to see this one thrive now that he's back to his preferred outdoor environmen#freedomfridayr#seattlecatl#tnrworksw#feralcata#feralcatcolonyo#seattlepetrescueescue
Former foster Goonie hopes everyone had an enjoyable and safe parade day. Go SeaHawks! #alleycatproject #catsofseattle #Seahawks #catrescue

TNR math is wild. When we were first called to this site, the report was "a mom and 3-4 kittens."![]()
Spoiler alert: There are actually nearly 20 cats here! 😅![]()

We are officially halfway through trapping this colony, and while the project grew bigger than expected, every release is a victory. It means these cats return to their colony vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and healthy.![]()

Now, on to the next half!
Sometimes the stories cats carry are bigger than we realize 💛![]()

We admittedly misjudged Mama Waffles prior to trapping her. She was tiny, spicy, and scared, with absolutely no signs of lactation. It wasn't until we got her to the clinic that we learned the surprise: she was actually a few weeks postpartum!![]()

After a brief recovery from her spay, we released her back into her territory fitted with an AirTag collar. It took a village to keep eyes on her. She had consistent food sources from friendly neighbors and also they let us keep a camera at their home to watch her patterns.![]()

It took a little patience, but a few weeks later, she finally debuted the kittens at the feeding station and allowed us to trap the whole crew!![]()

That all fully relaxed once at their foster home. Best of all? All of them have been adopted and are settling into their forever homes! ![]()
