Make Rescue Possible for Cats in Crisis

Every day, Charles River Alleycats receives urgent calls about outdoor cats who are injured, sick, or simply have nowhere safe to go.

CRA is the safety net for these cats, and we can only respond because individual donors make it possible. We receive no government funding and no program income.

We rely fully on the generosity of our community.

Your gift, no matter the size, allows us show up for the cats who otherwise have no one. It funds humane rescue, lifesaving veterinary care, and the supplies cats need to heal and find a safer, more dignified path forward.

And because CRA is fully powered by volunteers, you can be assured that every dollar you give directly improves the lives of community cats.
