Strays And Others

About

Strays and Others is a nonprofit, no-kill, all volunteer-run animal welfare rescue agency based in Fairfield County, Connecticut. One of the oldest in the county, it was founded in 1985 and has provided medical care, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and shelter for thousands of animals rescued from homelessness. Strays and Others has always been committed to the rescue and responsible placement of homeless and abandoned animals. Our volunteers work intensively with our animals, mostly cats and dogs, preparing them to be adopted into loving homes. Thanks to the careful matching of family and pet, our organization is proud of an exceptionally high permanent adoption rate. We also serve as an information source for the public on a wide range of topics. Our current programs include: Pet Adoptions, Emergency Rescue, Lost and Found, Humane Education, and Low-Cost Spaying and Neutering. We also have a Foster Home Program which is always searching for new participating families. We rent a small, privately housed cat shelter where we always have 20 to 30 cats and kittens to choose from. Our dogs and puppies are usually kept in foster homes or rented boarding facilities.

Adoption process

Our volunteer Adoption Counselors will take the time to talk with you about the type of pet you are looking for and discuss the options available at Strays and Others. At this time we can only adopt and place for adoption within the State of Connecticut, and close by towns in Westchester County, New York. We believe in life-long adoptions, so we are very careful in matching the right pet with the right family. If it's a good match, everyone wins! Our pets have been vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed or neutered if old enough. Dogs are heartworm tested; cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV; our house rabbits have been spayed or neutered. Any other necessary medical care is always given first.
