Spay The Strays, Inc.

About

Spay the Strays, Inc. is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit cat rescue organization in the Central Florida area. We have a small network of fosters who take care of our rescued cats and give them all they need until they are adopted into forever homes. We do not have a shelter or a clinic and cannot assist you with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). We are a foster adoption program who hopes to reduce the cat population in Osceola County, FL, by placing as many of the wonderful adoptable cats and kittens we rescue into loving, furrrever homes.

Adoption process

We are selective in our adoption process and ask questions to ensure our cats get the best forever homes possible. We want you to understand this is a living being and will be your family member for its entire life (typically 15-20 years.) It is not a toy or a something to do on a whim. Adoption is a serious commitment that can be so fulfilling and awarding. That being said, we want to make sure your home is safe and appropriate so we do require a home visit. This is why you must be local and we will not adopt a cat to you if you are outside of our area. We will ask you about your living situation, if animals are allowed where you live or if there are any restrictions (sometimes people forget to lookup their pet policies or ask their landlords if it’s ok). We will confirm this will be an indoor-only cat and ask your stance on declawing. We will also ask about other persons living in the home, allergies, kids, other pets, etc. to get a full understanding of the potential adopter’s situation. We want to make sure everyone is set up for success and we are adopting the right cats out to the right people. We know our cats and so we know if they are okay with other animals, good with kids, prefer to be the only pet in the home, are high or low energy, need someone there most of the day or are more self-reliant. Knowing more about you helps us make sure we match the right cat with the right family. Once you are approved, we will coordinate the home visit with you and go over everything in our adoption contract. We will collect the adoption fee, and any additional donations you care to make, and determine how to get your new family member home. All of our cats see a local vet who ensures they are dewormed, treated for fleas, tested for FIV/FeLv, spayed/neutered, vaccinated (including rabies) and microchipped. All of our cats get a full exam and any additional medical concerns are addressed. Kittens for Pre-Adoption will be fixed prior to going to their new homes. We will let you know when the vet schedules the spay/neuter and then when your new kitten will be able to join you at home.
