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 homes.
FEATURED KITTEN OF THE MONTH:
Panda is a cute black and white kitten who is about four months old. She was hand-raised as a baby and is such a delight! She'd make a great pet for the purrfect household.
And we already have a number of precious kittens! The little ones are arriving and we need help now! If you can foster this summer, please let us know! Special items for kitten care are also highly desired during the summer months. Please see our Ways to Help page for details.
PLEASE NOTE: Kittens are not available for adoption until they weigh 2 pounds and can be spay or neutered. Kitten adoptions include the spay/neuter, testing for leukemia, and their complete series of kitten shots and deworming. This is usually between 8-10 weeks of age.
REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS:
We need bottlefeeders! Please contact us if you would like to bottlefeed baby kittens this summer.
Kittens are arriving every day and many will enter our network of foster care with various families. Kittens are a lifelong committment and the decision to adopt should be a thoughtful one. Feel free to stop by our rescue any Saturday at PETCO to learn how you can get your home ready for a cat or kitten. We request that all adoptions be to "indoor" only homes. We have invested a great deal in our foster cats and kittens, and want you and your new kitty to have a long lasting relationship together that an indoor home can provide.
BECOME A FOSTER:
What is a foster home?
Foster homes are the backbone of any pet rescue organization. They are families just like yours that provide a safe, temporary home environment for rescued cats and kittens to rest, recuperate and prepare to meet their forever families. The cats in foster care benefit greatly from love and attention and living in a home; for some rescue kittens, it may be their very first home.
What does the foster home provide?
As a rescue foster home, you provide the food, a comfy place to sleep and all the love you can spare. Happy Strays will cover all of your foster kitty’s medical expenses, including medications, and provides any special equipment or supplies.
We ask the foster family to treat the foster cat like any other member of the family. Get to know the pet. Any insight you can offer is helpful to the rescue's placement decision. Together, you and Happy Strays can decide what kind of home will be best for your foster kitty.
What if I want to adopt my foster kitty?
We understand that families often fall in love with their foster kitty and can’t imagine their home without them. If you and Happy Strays Rescue decide the cat or kitten is a good match for your family, we are happy to discuss their permanent placement with you.
