A caregiver is a person who protects and improves the lives of cats! You are on the front lines, devoting time and energy to care for stray and feral cats by responsibly providing food, water, shelter, and ongoing care. You likely have participated in a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program: trapping and bringing cats to veterinarians to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, eartipped and then returning them to their outdoor home. You make sure cats are safe and healthy and make your community a better place!

Alley Cat Allies empowers caregivers to protect cats’ lives. We have the information, advice, and resources you may need to help you care for cats.
