Our Mission

Community Alley Trappers (CAT) is non-profit charitable organization (NO. 74407 8684 RR001) dedicated to improving the lives of abused, abandoned, feral, stray, and injured cats in Ottawa and surrounding areas. We focus our efforts into helping un-owned stray and feral cats and kittens through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).  
CAT takes in homeless cats and kittens, gives them the care they need to recover, and finds them loving homes.   An extensive network of community volunteers and foster families helps the rescue carry out its mission and save more lives.

We believe each cat has inherent value and that humans and felines enrich each other’s lives. This bond builds compassionate communities with empathy for all living things.
