Alley Cat Advocates is a small nonprofit based in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) organization focused on the humane treatment of unowned cats. It directs a Trap-Neuter-Return program in the Kentuckiana region, aiming to manage populations through approaches that emphasize safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The group reports spaying or neutering more than 60,000 unowned community cats in the area and has been recognized for best practices as a national model for reducing overpopulation. Its services target caretakers and communities dealing with unowned cats, operating within the civic and social sector. In early 2023, Alley Cat Advocates partnered with Pet Friendly Services and with Piece of My Heart Rescue to offer no-cost TNR services to caretakers in Indiana during March Madness, reflecting cross-border outreach.
