In 2004 a group of Brooklyn neighbors noticed that there was a heartbreaking number of homeless cats—often starving, ill, or otherwise suffering—in their community. When they tried to rescue them, not all were friendly enough to adopt out. They didn’t know what to do about the plight of these cats until they heard about the Neighborhood Cats trap-neuter-return (TNR) workshop, which explains how to safely catch, fix, and return the cats to live healthier, safer lives in their original habitats—without reproducing!
After the neighbors took the workshop and began trapping, they realized how few resources were available in Brooklyn to support TNR efforts. So they formed Slope Street Cats, to spread the word about TNR and help make TNR projects happen. Since then, Slope Street Cats has helped neuter and care for hundreds of cats in Park Slope and beyond.
Today Slope Street Cats is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to helping others deal with the local cat overpopulation crisis in an effective and humane way.

The most important thing you can do to save lives and reduce suffering is to practice trap-neuter-return (TNR). The first step is to take the Neighborhood Cats workshop, a one-time session that covers the who/what/where/when/why of TNR. Workshop certification is required for anyone to use local trap banks and free feral spay/neuter services. For more information, please visit our Got Feral Cats? page now.
