Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends helps 100, 120 community cats every year
The Stone Mountain group, running TNR since 2015, is looking for volunteer trappers, coordinators and fundraisers.
Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends has run its Community Cat Program in Stone Mountain since 2015 through Trap-Neuter-Return. In 2022 the group launched a formal, targeted TNR program to track colonies and respond to more calls.
The group says it helps 100, 120 community cats every year get spayed or neutered, vaccinated and returned to their colonies.
AARF needs trappers to humanely trap cats, coordinators to manage requests and colony records, and fundraisers. Volunteers can reach the group by email, and donations fund TNR for local cats.

Open the post“🐈 Happy National Feral Cat Day! 🐈⬛ From coast to coast, community cats are part of every neighborhood, and right here in Stone Mountain, they’re part of ours. 🧡 Since 2015, AARF’s Community Cat Program has been helping the cats who live among us through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). In 2022 we launched a formal, targeted TNR program so we could track colonies, respond to more calls, and make every resource count. Today we help 100–120 community cats every year get spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned home to their colonies. ✂️💉🏡 Fewer kittens born outside. Healthier, calmer colonies. Happier neighbors. That’s compassion in action. ✨ 🙋 Want to get more involved? We’re always looking to grow our team! We need: 🪤 Trappers to help humanely trap cats for their vet visits 📋 Coordinators to help manage requests, schedules, and colony records 💰 Fundraisers to help keep this lifesaving work going Send us an email at susan@aarfatlanta.org to join the crew! Can’t volunteer right now? Every dollar helps fund TNR for local cats 👉 givebutter.com/SMVcats Creating a community where every pet matters. 🐾 #NationalFeralCatDay #GlobalCatDay #CommunityCats #TNR #TrapNeuterReturn #AARFAtlanta #StoneMountain #StoneMountainVillage”
