Alley Cat Advocates in Louisville, KY
Alley Cat Advocates is a cat rescue based in Louisville, Kentucky, located in Jefferson County alongside 13 other animal shelters and rescues in the county, about 5 miles northwest of downtown Louisville. Incorporated in 1999 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the organization's mission is to provide for the humane treatment of unowned cats in the metropolitan Louisville area, primarily by directing a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program. Rather than traditional sheltering and adoption, Alley Cat Advocates focuses on humanely trapping unowned community cats, having them spayed or neutered, and returning them to their environment, a process that typically takes one to three days. Since the program began, the organization has helped tens of thousands of community cats through spay/neuter surgeries.
