What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Spay/Neuter Program
We offer spay/neuter at no cost for cats in the community for low income guardians that cannot afford it. We also practice and teach trap-neuter-return (TNR)as the most effective and humane method of managing and gradually reducing the feral cat populations in our community.
Adoption Program
Every cat ICRA traps or rescues is carefully evaluated for adoptability. Tame cats and kittens young enough to be socialized are placed in foster homes, and taken into our adoption program when they are ready for a responsible and loving permanent home. The goal of our adoption program is to place the right cat(s) with the right people. To that end, we have established an adoption screening and home visit program in which our adoption site volunteers collaborate with our foster homes to make each placement.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
ICRA's aim is to improve the lives of local free-roaming and unowned cats and reduce the negative impacts of feline overpopulation in Alameda and Oakland, CA and nearby communities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
ICRA's main activities focus on trap-neuter-return (TNR), the most humane approach to reducing free-roaming cat populations. TNR involves trapping unaltered cats living on the street, spaying or neutering them, and returning them to the location where they were trapped. A managed community cat colony will eventually reduce in size due to attrition. Our own volunteers perform TNR and we also provide support to community members who are willing to help the cats in their own neighborhoods.
Most unsocialized cats are returned to their colonies, but kittens young enough to be socialized and stray adult cats who are friendly to humans are made available for adoption and live in foster homes until we find a quality permanent home.
