Mission

Humane control of cat populations in Eastern Mass

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • The mission of Charles River Alleycats (CRA) is to humanely reduce the number of free-roaming cats in Eastern Massachusetts. Our goals are 1) to end feline euthanasia in area shelters by reducing the "supply" of cats and 2) to improve the lives of cats on the street that will never enter shelters. CRA's primary tool to achieve its goals is sterilization. In 2025, CRA assisted 1,553 cats, of which 1,228 were living on the street. They were humanely trapped, sterilized, and vaccinated by our participating veterinarians. CRA also assisted 325 cats owned by underserved residents. Of the 1,228 cats that were trapped, 994 had friendly dispositions and were placed in homes through our adoption partners. Upon assessment, 180 cats were found to be feral and were sterilized, vaccinated, eartipped, and returned to their colonies where caretakers provide food, water and shelter. 39 cats were so ill or injured that they were euthanized by recommendation of a veterinarian.
