Gladys was found living in a pile of trash at a gas station in Philadelphia. She was starving and pregnant when she was taken into foster care with Stray Cat Blues. She delivered only one kitten who, sadly, didn’t survive. Gladys was stressed and confused. She was clearly someone’s cat at one time and she craved attention from her foster mom. […]

Rescue work isn’t all cuddling kittens (though there’s plenty of that!). Far too much of it involves seeing cats on their worst day, where humans have let them down through neglect, indifference, or even cruelty. Our trappers work all hours of the day to respond to calls for help to TNR cats (trap, neuter, and return), as well as vaccinating and frequently getting additional medical treatment for injured cats. Our trappers also work tirelessly to get kittens and friendly adults into foster care. Sometimes we’re too late. […]

On April 18th, only 5 minutes before closing, we got a call from ACCT Philly asking us if we were able to pull some kittens.

Kittens in shelters are at very high risk of euthanasia, due to the constant care they require, that unfortunately most shelters do not have the resources for. […]

Our socializers worked their magic for weeks and in some cases months to help them prepare for the next chapter in their lives. Please help us make our target so we can help more stray, scared, homeless, and starving kitties. […]

Lilo was born outside, to a stray cat mom. Some kind volunteers with Stray Cat Blues trapped her family to get them all spayed and vaccinated. They thought that the kittens, at about 3 months old, may still be young enough to be socialized and turned into house cats. Initially, the youngsters didn’t think that was a good idea, and under protest they went into foster care. […]

Reds the feral cat was found emaciated, with burns on all his paw pads, infested with lice, and a general look of defeat on his face. […]

We rely on your donations to help those cats who need it most. As a trapper, I see the suffering firsthand. Here is just one story and how your donations can help stray and community cats.

A few months ago, I was contacted by a man complaining that stray cats were all over his property. When I went to assess the situation, I noticed that the cats seemed to be coming from a property adjacent to his. So I drove next door, and at the sound of my car, cats came running from everywhere […]
