About Alley Cat Allies
A $178,000 grant to Humane Society of Ac in Atlantic City for a TNR program is the largest recent award in Alley Cat Allies Inc’s grant record, and it reflects the foundation’s focus on Trap-Neuter-Return, spay/neuter services, and hands-on support for cat welfare organizations. The group backs direct service work as well as policy-oriented efforts tied to humane treatment of cats, including shelter reform and a campaign to ban declawing. Recent grants also show support for veterinary and rescue operations that serve animals in need. Diamond Veterinary Hospital in Gaithersburg received funding for medical care, spay and neuter, vaccinations, food, and other expenses, while The Paw Project in Santa Monica received grants tied to the ban on declawing cats. Alley Cat Allies Inc also funds emergency needs, supplies, and community-based animal care through organizations that work with feral, community, and companion cats. The pattern is practical and service-driven: grants tend to support delivery of care, infrastructure, and local capacity rather than individuals. The foundation’s active program, Feline Frenzy®, centers local partnerships among animal groups, veterinarians, caregivers, and policymakers to expand high-volume sterilization and TNR services.
What Alley Cat Allies Funds
On cat sterilization and TNR, Alley Cat Allies Inc funded New Leash on Life in Lebanon, Tennessee with $6,715 for a TNR program, and it gave $35,000 to Alliance for Contraception in Cats in Ann Arbor for preventing births. Those awards align with the foundation’s emphasis on reducing cat overpopulation through targeted local service delivery. Medical care and supplies are another clear theme. In 2025, Animal Rescue League of Iowa in Des Moines received $10,000 for medical and supplies, while Ziggy’s Refuge in Providence, North Carolina received $10,000 for the same purpose in 2024 and again in 2025. Earlier grants also supported vaccinations, food, and other expenses for animals in need. The foundation also funds advocacy-linked work. The Paw Project in Santa Monica received $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024 for efforts to ban declawing of cats. Rescue and shelter support appears as well, including grants for animal rescue, adoption, temporary shelter infrastructure, and event-based outreach.
