Happy Strays Rescue
Happy Strays Rescue is a not for profit rescue organization that cares for stray, abandoned and orphaned cats and kittens. All of our cats are attended to medically; each is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and tested for FeLv/FIV. We then begin the search for loving and permanent indoor only homes.
FEATURED CAT OF THE MONTH:
Mamasita is a 1 1/2 year old sweetheart who would make a great family pet. She needs to be your one and only four legged critter as she wants all of your attention to herself!
You can come and meet her on Saturdays at Petco in Santa Clarita. For more information, email Megann at megann@happystrays.org.

ABOUT OUR CATS:
Our "rescues" are often just babies who require bottlefeeding and hand rearing, kittens or cats found in local neighborhoods or shelters, or older cats relenquished by their owners to us or to area shelters. Our cats are cared for in a network of wonderful foster homes while they patiently wait for adoption.

in the individual homes of volunteers.
OUR MISSION:
Happy Strays Rescue was formed to “make a difference” to the cats and kittens who need us most, the homeless and tossed aside cats in our city. All donations received go directly toward the care of the cats and kittens in our care waiting for adoption, with a special emphasis on spay/ neuter.
We dream of the day when there will be no more homeless pets in the Los Angeles Area and we hope we can educate and inform people about spay/neuter programs in their area to meet that goal.
2009 cat adoption total: 216; Spay/neuter total: 187
2008 cat adoption total: 170; Spay/neuter total: 209
2007 cat adoption total: 193; Spay/neuter total: 137
2006 cat adoption total: 129; Spay/neuter total: 137
