Kitten rescued from Charlestown construction site after two-day effort
An 8-week-old kitten living under a shipping container at a Charlestown construction site was rescued earlier this week by the Animal Rescue League of Boston. She is one of thousands of community cats — feral, stray or abandoned — in Boston. The rescue league announced a donation challenge to raise funds for its Community Cat Program to help felines like the kitten. It was spotted by a resident in an apartment overlooking the site at 75 Alford Avenue (Ryan Playground) who contacted the rescue league's Field Services Department. Officials from Boston's Park and Recreation Department helped the league's rescue crew gain access to the site and set up traps. 'It took two days, and in the end, the kitten overcame her fear and gave in to her hunger,' the rescue league said in a statement. 'She emerged from underneath the shipping container and into an awaiting humane cat trap.' The kitten, now named Ally, was brought to the league's Animal Care & Adoption Center to receive veterinary care. She is in good health and is friendly but undersocialized, the statement said. She will likely be available for adoption soon. The Animal Rescue League of Boston is offering a $20,000 donation match challenge to raise funds for the Community Cat Program. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of community cats who need help, according to the league. There are an estimated 70,000 community cats in Boston — and 700,000 in Massachusetts — living in harsh conditions and without proper care; they are at risk for injury and illness, the statement said. The Community Cat Program started in 2017 and is the only large animal welfare organization in Massachusetts with an agent who works exclusively with community cats and kittens, according to the league. 'In 2024, the program saw a record number of community cats, nearly 2,000, and the organization has found loving homes for more than 2,700 community cats and kittens over the past five years,' the statement reads. Once a community cat colony is discovered, the rescue league creates a plan to trap the cats, evaluate, vaccinate and spay or neuter them. The league works to find homes for the rescued cats; however, truly feral felines are returned to the colony, according to the statement. Donations to the Community Cat Program will be matched dollar-for-dollar through June 30. For more information, visit Free goats!
