Alley Cat Rescue is helping to solve the crisis and tragedy of unwanted and abandoned cats.
Our Mission Statement:
Alley Cat Rescue (ACR) works to protect cats
on several levels: locally through rescue, rehabilitation
and adoption of cats and nationally through a
network of Cat Action Teams. ACR is dedicated to the health, well-being
and welfare of all cats: domestic, stray, abandoned
and feral. ACR also assists the international animal
community.
Adoption:
ACR has many domestic cats in need of a good
home. Please visit the PETsMART at 12020 Cherry Hill Rd. in Silver
Spring, MD or call (301)586-8262 to visit our cats up for
adoption, or see them online at Petfinder or Pets911.
Barn homes are also needed for feral cats; please click on the Adoption link for more information.
Spay / Neuter Clinic
Alley Cat Rescue is offering a low-cost spay/neuter clinic to low-income residents of Prince George’s County, Maryland. This program is made possible from contributions provided by The Snyder Foundation for Animals and from individual contributors.
PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR COMPANION ANIMALS. This will save millions of lives, and stop the killing in the nation's shelters. Six million healthy, unwanted animals are killed in shelters each and every year. ACR is striving to lower these numbers and to put an end to the suffering and unnecessary death of innocent animals. ACR also works to PREVENT feral colonies from forming. Spaying and neutering outdoor cats helps to stop new cats from joining and forming feral colonies.
Alley Cat Rescue has recently partnered with PawsCorp, a website
where
you can purchase pet supplies and donate to your favorite charity at no extra cost. Plus, you can proudly show your support of ACR, when you purchase merchandise with our logo on it from the PawsCorp Alley Cat Rescue Store!

ACR International
Get updates on our African Wildcat Project and read about past international effort.
In September of 2008, ACR traveled to Africa to research the plight of the African Wildcat (AWC). Like so many cat species, the AWC is facing extinction. Besides threats from human encroachment (land development, farmers killing them), hybridization is the main cause of the Wildcat's decline. Stray and feral domestic cats are inter-breeding with the AWC, diluting its genes and basically “breeding” it out of existence.
While in Africa , ACR met with several animal protection organizations and a veterinary school to discuss establishing a mobile vet clinic to implement a TNR program for the free-roaming domestic cats wandering near game reserves where AWCs live.
