My story

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

Meet Tova!

Tova is a sweet, adorable kitten who loves nothing more than curling up and snuggling with her people. She has an amazing story of survival—when she first came to us, she was very weak and we weren’t sure she would make it. But Tova is a little fighter and she has done well.

Tova does have one unique feature—her eye. It was damaged before she came to us and cannot be repaired, so it will always look a bit different. She can still see shadows with that eye, and it doesn’t slow her down one bit. In fact, it just makes her extra special!

Tova is a friendly, resilient, and affectionate companion. She’s ready to find a loving family who will see her beauty inside and out.

Tova can only go to a home with no other cats. Please understand that Tova has a disease called Feline Leukemia. She must be the only cat in the household because Feline Leukemia is contagious to other cats. Feline Leukemia is not contagious to other pets or humans - just cats.

Unfortunately, this disease will shorten Tova's life. The person who adopts Tova must be willing to provide her the best, most loving life it is possible for her to have for as long as she lives. Her life span may be a year or 2 or longer. Most likely she will not appear to be sick until near the end of her time.

If you feel called to give this special cat the love and care she deserves, we encourage you to apply.

More about this rescue

Mr. Grey's Strays is a 501(c)(3) in Brockport, NY run by Joane Traber. This organization started in 2013 as just a TNVR program. As needs changed, she started taking in cats to adopt to potential families. In 2020, she was able to get a building where she could house all the cats and be able to save more. In 2021, she adopted out 400+ cats and had 200+ cats in the TNVR program. 600+ cats were vetted and given a clean bill of health in just one year of having the building, the building doubled the amount of cats that could be saved. Mr. Grey's Stays gets its name from a cat named, Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey was a special cat, he was nice to everyone he met and he let all the other kitties know that it was okay, to not be scared. Now Mr. Grey lives here in spirit as more outdoor cats find homes and more are vetted and released. Joane is an amazing woman and as she started taking in more cats, she also needed to find more hands to make sure the cats could be taken care of. She relies solely on volunteers daily to feed the kitties, scoop their litterboxes, and maintain a clean environment for the kitties. In addition to relying on volunteers, she also relies on donations of supplies or monetary donations in order to have the things she needs to care for the kitties. It surely takes a lot of caring people to make sure these kitties are taken care of.
