Baldwin & Mobile Counties, Alabama

Every stray cat deserves a safe, loving life.

Azalea City Cat Coalition has been caring for the forgotten cats of Baldwin & Mobile Counties since 2008 — through TNR, low-cost spay/neuter, adoption, and the kindness of neighbors like you.

Behind every stray is a story

Most community cats didn't choose the streets. They were born outdoors, abandoned by owners who moved away, or simply lost. They're not wild animals — they're cats who need someone to care. That's where we come in.

🐾

Community cats are not feral

Many outdoor cats are friendly, socialized animals who ended up outside through no fault of their own. With patience and care, they can thrive — and many can be rehomed.

🏡

Colonies need caretakers

Outdoor cat colonies depend on dedicated neighbors who feed them, monitor their health, and advocate for them. We support and train colony caretakers across both counties.

💚

TNR is the humane answer

Trap-Neuter-Return is the most effective, compassionate way to manage community cat populations. It stops the cycle of suffering without removing cats from the only home they know.

Why spay & neuter matters

It's the single most effective thing you can do for community cats — and for your own pets.

Stops overpopulation

A single unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in just 7 years. Spaying one cat prevents thousands of homeless animals.

Healthier, longer lives

Spayed and neutered cats live longer, healthier lives. They face lower risks of certain cancers, infections, and injuries from roaming and fighting.

Reduces nuisance behaviors

Neutering eliminates yowling, spraying, and fighting associated with mating — making cats better neighbors and better companions.

Saves taxpayer money

TNR and spay/neuter programs cost far less than repeated animal control roundups. Communities that invest in prevention spend less on sheltering and euthanasia.

Reduces shelter intake

Fewer unplanned litters means fewer cats surrendered to shelters, giving every animal a better chance at finding a home.

Protects wildlife

Managed, neutered colonies are stable and smaller over time, reducing the impact of outdoor cats on local bird and wildlife populations.

What We Do

Trap · Neuter · Return

Thousands of stray and community cats live outdoors in Baldwin and Mobile Counties — not because they chose to, but because they were born there, abandoned, or lost. The Azalea City Cat Coalition is their safety net. We trap, neuter, and return them to their colonies, stopping the cycle of overpopulation while letting them live out their lives with dignity and care.

Our History

Seeing the vast need for community cats that need assistance, our energetic team formed in 2008. We've grown considerably since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!

Our Mission

We believe every cat — whether it lives in a home or on a street corner — deserves compassion. Our mission is to reduce suffering through spay/neuter, provide medical care to cats in need, and build a community that looks out for its most vulnerable animals.
