Graham Has a New Chance at Life Because of You
Thank you for helping us save Graham’s life.
Just weeks ago, Graham was suffering in a situation of cruelty and neglect that nearly cost him his life. Alley Cat Allies rescued and rushed him to an emergency veterinarian, but with a pelvic fracture, hernia, and a dangerous gastrointestinal issue, his condition was very fragile.
We’re relieved and proud to say that Graham pulled through his toughest time and is recovering slowly but surely. And thanks to a little help from his new kitten “roommates” Aster and Orchid (if you’ve been following us, you know all about them), he’s coming out of his shell beautifully! Graham is running, jumping, and playing for what may be the first time in his one year of life, and it’s inspiring and heartwarming to see.
Our supporters like you are the reason we could save Graham and cats like him every day. We can’t wait to share more of his journey!

Relocation is a Last Resort—Always
Cats are very bonded to their homes. That’s why you sometimes see headlines about cats traveling hundreds of miles to find their way back to where they came from.
Because of this, relocating community cats is always a LAST RESORT. Community cats are particularly attached to their outdoor homes and feline families, and will try to return if taken from them.
Please, read and share our information about relocation. It could save a cat’s life: alleycat.org/Relocation
Back to Basics with TNR
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane and effective approach to community cats, and following the right steps is critical to ensure community cats’ safety. Alley Cat Allies is sharing the basic steps and top tips for TNR for anyone who is new to it or who needs a refresh on their knowledge!
When it comes to TNR, preparation is everything—even weeks in advance! For example, to make humane trapping easier, feed community cats out of UNSET traps for one to two weeks prior to the trapping day. This will get the cats comfortable with seeing and walking into traps.
Remove the traps after the cats eat so there are no risks of theft, damage, or trapping a cat accidentally!
