National Feral Cat Day, sponsored by Alley Cat Allies, draws hundreds of groups to come together at events nationwide to raise awareness about feral cats and Trap-Neuter-Return, the humane and effective method of care that improves the lives of feral cats.

Voices in the Dark Animal Rescue is an advocating voice for companion animals in the Cleveland Metropolitan Area who have been neglected, abused, abandoned, forgotten, or surrendered. We rescue and foster these animals until they are well enough to be adopted. We ensure amazing forever homes through education, collaboration, community outreach, intervention, and political reform.
