Alley Cat Allies (For Feral Cats)
Alley Cat Allies, is a national nonprofit clearinghouse for information on feral and stray cats. For more than a decade Alley Cat Allies has advocated trap-neuter-return (TNR) - the most humane and effective method to reduce feral cat populations.

Alley Cat Allies is located in the vibrant and eclectic Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington, DC. See our Contact Info page for our address and phone/fax information.

Founded in 1990, Alley Cat Allies is part of an international effort working to promote, foster, and develop humane nonlethal control programs for feral and stray cats through sterilization programs that effectively reduce their numbers over a period of time. Alley Cat Allies respects the sanctity of life and the rights of individual animals and embraces proactive preventative control methods, i.e. trap-neuter-return.

Metro Ferals, Inc.
Metro Ferals, an all-volunteer organization established in 1997, was established to reduce the suffering of feral cats and kittens by promoting a non-lethal alternative to the feral cat population, specifically “TNR”, Trap-Neuter-Return, in Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland.

Young kittens are socialized and adopted through their adoption program.  Feral cats are returned to their “home”, where they are managed by their caretaker.  They run a low cost spay/neuter clinic for feral cats and provide assistance to people wishing to trap, neuter, and return the cats they feed and maintain.

Fairfax County Animal Shelter Trap/Neuter/Return Program

The Fairfax County Animal Shelter has altered its 1000th feral cat marking the success of its two-year-old trap, neuter and return (TNR) program, which includes humanely trapping, spaying, neutering and vaccinating feral cats and then returning them to their outdoor homes. The goals of the program are to decrease the number of unwanted kittens born each year to outdoor cats; to decrease the intake of cats and kittens at the shelter; and to decrease the euthanasia of cats in Fairfax County.

As part of the TNR program, the Fairfax County Animal Shelter provides free spay/neuter and vaccinations for feral cats who reside in Fairfax County. The program is funded by private donations from the sale of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Animal Friendly License Plates. For each plate purchased by a Fairfax County resident, $15 is donated back to the shelter, which is using the money, in part, for TNR.

 To be eligible for the shelter’s TRN program, citizens must first attend the Helping Community Cats Workshops held twice monthly in Fairfax County. For more information about attending an upcoming class or about TNR, please contact the shelter at 703-830-1100.
