Alley Cat Allies does a lot of good work in the world, so let's not leave "catty" comments, (pun). By the way, feral is not spelled "ferrell". Cats need all the friends they can get! Cheers!

How do people not realize that putting colonies of Ferrell cats in our state parks is an act of animal cruelty destroying the natural wildlife. Neutered cats must eat and drink, destroying the indigenous animals and adding new diseases into ecosystem. The natural fauna will disappear leaving a wasteland filled with diseased cats living short, miserable and cruel lives. I’m sure these people are all heart, and that’s just it, all heart and no brains. In reality they are sentencing these poor creatures to a slow cruel death. Since you don’t witness the reality, you actually sit back and feel good about yourself. Trap, neuter and release are acts of the worst kind of animal cruelty. We must stop this misguided effort that is rapidly destroying the very important and unique ecosystems of our Brandywine valley. All you have left is to listen to the screaming cats at night to the point you can’t sleep with you windows open. Can we come up with a way to eliminate these destructive colonies and restore the balance created over thousands of years? Yes! Trap, and take to SPCA. Sad, unfortunate, but humane and one positive step in maintaining our beautiful parks filled with the animals nature spent thousands of years to create. Once a cat has become Ferrell it will never be suitable as a house pet again.

People who claim that cats are the reason why birds are becoming extinct are merely blaming cats so they don't have to take responsibility themselves.. unless you live in a windowless tent in between the trees, you are to blame for the decimation of wildlife.

Horrendous, evil organization and one of the main reasons the country is being infested with feral and free-roaming cats. They also partner with special interests pet supply, pet food companies. Alley cats “allies” does not care about wildlife and biodiversity. They call “community” cats to cats that are otherwise released and drop off into our parks and city streets, when in reality the “community” should NEVER be responsible for someone else’s unwanted cats. This organization has the potential to send many wildlife species into extinction thanks to their incredibly persistent actions to “save” cats (unwanted house cats) and to destroy everything else. (birds, reptiles, butterflies, mammals) Alley Cats Allies you are a bunch of charlatans and EXTREMELY EVIL PEOPLE.

Were you able to figure out what to do with your kitties? My family and I used to rescue cats, we would borrow cages from the humane societee that were humane cat traps, they didn't hurt the cats, and were very effective. Try and contact one of the cat rescue people maybe you can trap them and take them to a no kill shelter, they should be fixed so they don't make more kittens. Also you only have a short period of time to domesticate them or they won't bond with people.

How much of the donations go to administrative costs?

Barbara you are probably signed up as a Google guide to answer questions. Contact their website for more detailed information, unfortunately questions on maps are asked to Google guides not those in the company

Is it possible to relocate feral cats? If so, what is the best way to approach this?

Vivien Hessel | Oct 21, 2019
Jakob Martin | Oct 21, 2019

Best to call or email them, this is not the best forum for that as it is almost definitely a long and complex question/conversation. Check their website for contact info, best!

What is the best way to relocate an outdoor cat that was feral. And one of her kittens which is now about 15 yrs old. They sleep on our deck and come in some times but won't let me catch them.

Marilyn, I don’t know if you have already solved your dilemma or not, but your “feral” cats sound pretty friendly if they will come inside your home. Feral means wild (like a deer,etc). They sound more like cats that used to be someone’s pet, but have been strays for so long, they have trust issues with humans. It happens, unfortunately a lot. By the way, if they are coming inside your home, they are already used to you. 15 years is too old to be living a street life. Take them in and let them be indoor cats. Get the kitten neutered (if boy) or spayed (if female), so there won’t be more later on. Love them. 💗You’d be suprised how much cats can help with depression, axiety, stress, blood pressure, etc. especially loneliness. Cats are comical and entertaining too. A kitten can brighten up your worst day, and make you laugh hysterically!! 😻🐈 If you need to relocate them, get a HUMANE CAT TRAP, and put something like tuna or salmon in a small paper bowl inside in the back.

Did the tabby cat in the mailer from Alley Cat Allies picture get adopted?

hard to know but that isn't a question a Google guide will be able to answer. I'd call them directly. questions here get directed to us and we only have Google information available to us.
