Adopt A Stray believes that the animal overpopulation crisis can be solved, but not by simply providing an easy means by which pet owners can divorce themselves of their animals so that others can deal with the unwanted pets. Adopt A Stray is dedicated to spaying and neutering to control the number one reason for animal death - pet overpopulation.
As a "no-kill" animal rescue group, sometimes we get left holding the bag-or the cat as it happens! Adopt A Stray has many cats that we are providing a lifetime of care for and many of these animals will never be suitable candidates for adoption. Some have litter-box issues, others have aggression towards humans or other animals while some were just never cute enough to be adopted. These animals will have nothing to worry about because we will care for them for the rest of their lives.
Adopt A Stray relies exclusively on private donations to provide food and medical care, including the spay/neuter of adoptable pets and feral cats. There are no administration fees or professional fund-raisers to pay. 100% of all DONATIONS go directly to the care of our animals.

- To find responsible, stable, loving new homes for all of our rescued pets
- To thoroughly screen adoption applicants before making placement decisions
- To spay and neuter all pets in our program, to help reduce the pet overpopulation crisis
- To TNR (trap, neuter, return) feral cats to their colony

Our Vision
A society where people are responsible for their pets, where there are no helpless creatures abandoned in boxes or left to fend for themselves in parking lots, where no healthy companion animal is euthanized and when there is no longer a need for organizations like Adopt A Stray.
