501(c)(3) Nonprofit · Manassas, VA
A 100% volunteer-run rescue working the colonies of Prince William County — trapping, fixing and returning community cats, and giving their kittens a real shot at a home.
Our mission
AFCC exists to combat community cat overpopulation through targeted spay and neuter initiatives and advocacy for improved community pet safety. We trap whole families, get them vetted, and return healthy cats to the caregivers who already look after them.
“When you surrender a feral community cat to a shelter, the cat has no place to return to and cannot be handled or adopted — that’s a death sentence to a feral cat. Know the difference. Feral community cats belong where you trapped them. Be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.”

What we do
01
Humane trapping — including drop-trapping whole families — then spay or neuter, vaccination and ear-tipping. Cats go back to the community where they’re already fed and watched over by dedicated caregivers.
No cat left behind on a worked site.
Request TNR help02
Pregnant and nursing mamas and critical bottle-baby kittens come into foster care. Mama is spayed once her babies are weaned, then returns home; the kittens grow up socialised and adoptable.
Round-the-clock neonatal fostering.
Report a mama & babies03
Sick and injured community cats get real veterinary care — diagnostics, surgery, and quarantine for panleukopenia cases — funded entirely by supporters, not grants or government money.
Donation-funded, every single case.
Help fund care04
We don’t hold adoption events. Every application is reviewed in full and every placement includes a home visit, so the fit is right for the cat and the family. Meet-and-greets are for approved applicants.
Application & home visit required.
See adoptable cats05
Foster homes are the bottleneck on how many cats we can say yes to. Kittens, mamas and medical recoveries all need somewhere safe to land — we cover the supplies and the vetting.

Apply to foster06
Most people want to help and reach for the wrong lever. We teach caregivers the difference between a feral community cat and a lost pet — and why TNR, not surrender, is the humane answer.
Free guidance for caregivers.

From the field
Every one of these came off the street, out of a colony, or out of a drop trap — and into a foster home. Photographed by our volunteers.

Adoption
No cat is listed until the vetting is finished. When you’re approved, the cat you meet is already ready to come home — nothing left for you to chase down.
Applications are reviewed in full and include a home visit. Meet-and-greets are scheduled with approved applicants only.
Ways to give
There is no grant money and no paid staff behind this. Vet bills, formula, traps and litter are all funded by supporters — and every gift is tax-deductible.

Where we trap
Seen a colony?
If you’re feeding strays, you’ve found kittens, or a cat in your neighbourhood needs help — tell us where. We’ll talk you through the next step, and where we can, we’ll bring the traps ourselves.
