O'Malley Alley Cat Rescue

Using no-kill principles, it is the mission of O’Malley Alley Cat Rescue to provide for the adoption and placement of rescued cats and kittens in permanent homes. We are further dedicated to the care and well-being of these homeless cats and to educating the public on the need to spay/neuter pets, to reduce the number of cats born each year, and the prevention of animal cruelty. We work to save today’s cats and prevent tomorrow’s.

How you can help
O'Malley Alley Cat Rescue
01

Lifelong relationship

With respect and compassion for all cats, O'Malley Alley promotes lifelong relationships between people and animals, providing medical needs and foster care for each precious life until adopted into a good home. We strive to work with animal control and other rescue groups to save homeless cats in our community.

02

Trap-Neuter-Return

Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered and community supported. All our vital life-saving funds come from generous supporters who believe in our mission statement. O’Malley maintains a network of trustworthy rescue partners in the DFW and Austin areas, using those resources frequently to get as many East Texas cats off the streets, vetted, and into indoor only homes as possible.

03

100% Volunteer-Powered

We also educate the public on the need to spay/neuter and alleviate suffering in the feral cat population; help individuals and businesses manage feral cats on their property or under their care and to provide education on nutritious food, clean water, low-cost shelters for feral cats; and TNR (trap-neuter-return).

04

100% Donation-Powered

O’Malley Alley Cat Rescue is focused on rescuing, rehoming, spaying and neutering cats in need, in and around the Tyler, Texas area. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that does not receive local, state or federal funding, nor does it receive any support from a national branch or the SPCA. We rely solely on the generosity of individuals and corporations, fundraising and volunteering for all our needs.

our adoption Process

Rated 5 out of 5
When we take cats and kittens into our rescue program, we make a commitment to their long-term well-being. We will be responsible for all of their initial care and vetting, including combo test, flea treatment, de-worming, first three rounds of basic vaccines, spay/neuter, rabies shot and microchip.
Our adoption process includes an application that is screened by a committee, and we sometimes do phone interviews or even home visits to be sure that the cats are being placed in safe, loving, permanent homes.
We have a 100% lifetime guarantee! If there is any issue, we request/require that the cat be returned to us and not just abandoned or rehomed privately. In short… we have rather strict adoption criteria, but are deeply invested in every kitty that comes to us.
