Thinking of Volunteering?
Take a look at what some of our wonderful members have to say about the impact being a member of AlleyCATS Alliance has had on their lives:
Vera Marchant, Penticton, BC
Too many cats and kittens are abandoned and suffer without care. AlleyCATS Alliance provides a valuable contribution to our community through their spay and neuter programs, thus saving an immeasurable number of unwanted kittens who would never have a caring home.”
Jennifer, Osoyoos, BC
“AlleyCATS Alliance is a great system of teamwork with caring, loving individuals who work very hard to help protect and care for abandoned/homeless/feral cats. I am grateful that AlleyCATS Alliance is available and ready to help however they can.”
Dianne McEvoy, Penticton, BC
“Alleycats Alliance is an integral and invaluable asset to the South Okanagan. They consistently go above and beyond to trap, rescue, spay & neuter and re-home or re-release cats & kittens. They not only save cats & kittens that might otherwise perish, but are helping to control the feral cat population in our communities as well.”
Dianne Jacques, Penticton, BC
“A really great organization. So helpful. I keep donating pop cans to help raise money. I really believe in you!”
Kathy Dilar, Summerland BC
“AlleyCATS Alliance finds loving homes for abandoned and forgotten cats and also ensures that feral cats who cannot be re-homed are spayed and neutered. This significantly reduces the number of feral-born cats in the Okanagan.”
