Feral Friends Network (FFN)

The Feral Friends Network (FFN)—the backbone of Alley Cat Allies—is a database of:

• Organizations and individuals experienced with Trap-Neuter-Return that offer their knowledge and experience and share resources to help fledgling caregivers.

• Veterinary practices and clinics that perform spay/neuter and other procedures for feral cats.

Alley Cat Allies is a resource for those in need of guidance across the United States and throughout much of the rest of the world. In addition to information obtained from our website and headquarters, we make connections at a local level, putting those who want to help feral cats in touch with those possessing the know-how. Hundreds of feral cats benefit from this program every month as caregivers receive what they need most: moral support, encouragement, sound advice, and contacts for local resources.
