Whether we’re pushing for Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs or fighting against cat licensing requirements, a big part of protecting cats is ensuring that laws are on their side. Alley Cat Allies’ program and legal teams have been hard at work helping cat advocates pass or defeat ordinances that affect cats. We start working on many of these because advocates contact our National Cat Help Desk for assistance.

In a TNR program, community cats are humanely trapped, then neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped before being returned to their outdoor homes. The best approach for cats and communities, TNR stops the breeding cycle without unnecessary killing.

Our adoptable felines are socialized cats or kittens—each has their own story.

Open your heart and home and adopt a cat or kitten today!
