Never Abandoned, Always Adopted! 🐾❤️
When Whisper was a kitten in 2021, she was adopted out by Stray Cat Blues to what we thought would be her forever home. Then in March of 2023, she was trapped by one of our rescue partners, the Cat Collaborative, in a colony in Northeast Philly. They scanned her for a microchip and realized she was an Stray Cat Blues cat! […]
Cheesecake got a second chance... help give more second chances!! 💙
Stray Cat Blues gets calls all the time asking for TNR (trap/neuter/return) help with colonies of stray/feral cats. To the best of our ability, we do what we can to help control these populations. When there are youngsters in the group that have a possibility of socialization, we attempt to find fosters to turn them into adoptable house cats. And then there are dangerous situations where an SOS is put out for urgent help. Cheesecake (CC) falls into this category. […]

One friend can change your whole life.
Penny was rescued as part of TNR project in August of 2021. She was already about 10 months old, and edging past the window of successfully transitioning from a feral kitten to a house cat. Rather than returning her to the feral colony, Penny’s foster thought she showed promise and set to work on her socialization. She soon realized that Penny needed a lot more work than she was able to give […]

A Cry for help in the form of Love and Purrs!
This past July one of our trappers, Amy Beal, was able to rescue a cat who we named Charlie. When it was time to get him in his crate, he jumped back out and climbed right into her lap purring while demanding his head rubbed. It was at that moment that Amy knew just who to reach out to for help, Stray Cat Blues. […]

One week ‘til Giving Tuesday! Help us fulfill more dreams! ✨
When we do adoptions, we hope to find forever homes for our cats and kittens, but that is not always the case. Life happens, people and situations change, and often cats are returned to us due to extenuating circumstances. […]
