My story

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

I have a crazy story. My finders were moving from way up north of Tampa down to South Tampa. When they pulled the moving truck up to their new place, they heard me meowing! I had ridden ALL that way hiding in the engine! I was so scared but they got me help and now I am safe and ready for a family all my own. I would LOVE a kitty friend in my forever home, but most of all, I need a family who can spend LOTS of time with me and never leave me behind! Oh ya, and I'm only allowed to ride INSIDE cars now, my foster mama says!

** Sahara tested POSITIVE for FIV. Most kittens who test positive at this age have their mother's antibodies still in their blood from nursing, and will eventually test negative. Recommend retesting at 6 months old. Please contact us for more info on FIV.

Additional adoption info

Tampa Bay Strays is a network of foster homes, and all animals are under the care of a foster. Occasionally, we will utilize local adoption centers located in pet stores or other areas, where you may meet available kitties and adopt in-store! Please visit our website and follow us on facebook/instagram to stay in the "know" for upcoming adoption events!

Go meet their pets

All our pets live in the comfort of foster homes with dedicated caregivers to oversee their daily and medical needs. Once you identify a pet and have moved through the application process, we will connect you with the foster to arrange a time and place to do a meet-n-greet.

More about this rescue

Tampa Bay Strays, Inc. is an all-volunteer 501 (c)3 non-profit corporation founded in 2022 and located in Tampa, Florida. We are dedicated to providing a safe, temporary, loving home for lost, abandoned, stray or otherwise homeless cats and dogs in the Tampa Bay area. We provide medical care, vaccinations, spay / neuter, medical procedures, and testing of animals in our care, and facilitate the adoption of animals in the care of our foster volunteers to permanent, loving homes. As a no-kill organization we do NOT euthanize unless medically necessary under exigent circumstances. We promote spay / neuter practices to provide longevity of good health, disease deterrence and control the overpopulation of stray cats and dogs. As we are not government subsidized, we depend on the generosity of private donors and corporate sponsors who share our altruistic beliefs and goals.
