Oreo rescued by Save Our Strays

Pinellas County is home to an estimated 227,000 cats and kittens. Many are strays or become homeless for various reasons. Save Our Strays, Inc. is on a mission: To shelter and find homes for cats and kittens in need in Pinellas County, Florida.

As many as 12,000 cats may be euthanized in Pinellas County during the course of a year. As tough times befall more people, more cats are joining the homeless population. Euthanasia becomes their only solution – unless these cats are rescued.

Save Our Strays, Inc. is committed to helping as many homeless cats as space permits. They are continually seeking additional foster homes – even on a temporary basis. Since January 1995, Save Our Strays has medically assisted and adopted out over 8000 cats and kittens. All this made possible through the many volunteers who give their time and love to care for these animals. And, what do they have to say about it?

The address for Save Our Strays is Indian Rocks Beach, Fl. The real location is in the homes of volunteers who work relentlessly to save homeless cats of all sizes, shapes and colors. Save Our Strays has medically assisted and adopted out over 8000 cat and kittens since their beginning in 1995.

Interested in volunteering? Don’t have time or the ability for long term volunteering? Check with your local shelters to see if you can transport the animals. Even a one time stint can save them. Maybe they have a need for emergency, short-time fostering. Volunteer for a special event or help with a fundraising project. Anything, anytime, anyone can provide a much needed helping hand.
