My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Murphy's law! I was just a long haired long dude living on the streets when a Stray Cat Blues volunteer saw that I was meant to be indoors. Now picture me long, lean, and living on the mean streets? I was quickly adopted (cause I am stunningly handsome) but it wasn't the best match for me. My anxiety caused me to eat and eat and within a year of being in my previous home I more than doubled my weight! Now I'm back in my foster care. I'm on a diet and slowly losing the weight. I'm in a room with feline hormone defusers and I'm enjoying my daily cuddles. I will do great in a home with other cats (with a slow introduction). I probably won't work well with children cause see I'm so huge even my foster mom will try to wrestle me like a dog. I am not a dog and prefer head rubs over anything slightly aggressive. Please take my plus size handsome self and give me a gentle home. (Cause I'm a cat not a dog damn it!)

Additional adoption info

During review of the application if you rent your home, we confirm with your landlord that you are allowed to have the cat per your lease.

We also consider if a particular cat is a good fit for your home. Certain cats will do better in homes without small children, or without other cats. Other cats may need to be adopted with a cat that they are bonded with. So we make sure that the cat and the home are a good match before completing an adoption.

Some of our fosters allow trial adoptions, where you would have 2-3 weeks to make sure that the cat being adopted was accepted by the other pets in your home. If you are interested in this, please ask your Adoption Representative.

All cats adopted from Stray Cat Blues have been screened for feline leukemia and FIV, inoculated, sterilized and wormed when they first come to us. Additional vet work is completed for those cats that require additional care. Healthy, adoptable cats and kittens are then housed through our network of foster homes until they are adopted.

You are also welcome to come visit cats at our PetSmart Collegeville and PetSmart North Wales/Montgomeryville locations (see times for adoption showings). If you see a cat there that you like, you can complete an adoption application there in person.

Questions - email us at: contact@straycatblues.org. We are happy to answer general questions, and also put you in touch with the foster families for questions about specific cats.

Adoption Fees:
• $130 - Kittens up to one year of age
• $100 - For cats over one year and up to 7 years of age
• $70 - For cats 7 years of age and over.
All fees are subject to Pennsylvania's 6% sales tax and a minimum of $5 or 5% service fee.
