Our Mission
Northern Accomack Community Cats is a grassroots group formed in Accomack County, Virginia to help address the health and welfare of community cats and the needs of their caregivers.
“The truth is anyone can be the
difference; all it takes is
using whatever you have,
to do whatever you can.”
— Darius Graham
Our Vision
Accomack County is a severely underserved area of Virginia. Northern Accomack Community Cats seeks to support our community cats and their caregivers through low-cost TNR services, connection with local resources, public outreach, and advocacy.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs provide the most humane option available for community cat populations and the healthiest option for the humans around them.

50 million
estimated number of free-roaming cats in the United States
Despite our first year of operation commencing one week before a global pandemic took flight, we managed to provide TNR services to 149 cats (March 2020 - February 2021) as well providing rescue/adoption for 14 kittens and hundreds of referrals for service to folks who did not meet our criteria.
In our second year (March 2021 - February 2022) we provided TNR services to 407 cats and rescue/adoption to 60 kittens.
Our third year (March 2022 - February 2023) wrapped up with a total of 355 cats TNR’d and 32 kittens rescued/adopted.
Before our first quarter of Year Four is over, we are on track to TNR our 1,000th cat.
