Alley Cat Project

Mission

Alley Cat Project is a non-profit charitable organization working to humanely reduce the feral cat population in Seattle. Our small group of dedicated volunteers works year round to capture and spay/neuter feral cats and rescue their kittens for adoption. By addressing the problem at the source, we hope to reduce overcrowding at local shelters, freeing up resources to help friendly cats find good homes. All of our expenses are funded by charitable donations.

Description

How we help feral cats and kittens:
• Capture homeless feral cats for spay/neuter alteration
• Transportation to and from spay/neuter clinic
• Feed and house prior to alteration and during recovery
• Vaccination, blood testing, parasite control
• Provide veterinary care for injured and sick cats
• Microchip
• Return to colony or site of origin following recovery from surgery
• Community educational outreach about homeless cats
• Socialize and foster feral kittens for adoption
• Place feral cats in barn homes when return is not possible
• Foster cats who are not feral, but mistaken for feral or unadoptable because of bad behavior at public shelters. This is usually because of trauma and environmental displacement; these cats are transferred to ACP to foster, assess and condition them for potential adoption. This reduces the kill rate at public shelters

A donation of $40.00 will help us spay or neuter and care for 1 feral cat, providing him with all the "extras" like vaccines, flea treatment, wormer, in addition to routine food, litter, laundry, etc., during his recovery. A donation of $40.00 will also care for a litter of feral kittens in foster care for about 1 week. We spay and neuter approximately 300 feral cats per year. In addition, we often encounter a high vet bill for a seriously injured or ill feral cat in our care. If you prefer to donate "in kind," we will have a "Wish List" posted on our web page at: www.alleycatproject.org.
Thank you for your generosity!
