***Encourage your school, class, church, business or family to take up a wish list collection. In-kind donations add up to major savings and mean we have more money to put towards spaying/neutering feral cat colonies and providing medical attention for sick and injured stray and feral cats! Thank you for your support!

Donation Canister Program!
Small change can make a big change! Our donation canister program is one of our most important funding sources. It helps us provide spay/neuter, food and medical attention to the colonies of stray and feral cats that we manage and to the cats in our adoption program. If you know someone who owns a business (or work at one) who would be willing to display one of our donation canisters, please contact spaythestrays@aol.com. (Places where customers pay at the register and get change back are the best locations!)
Wearing Jeans Helps Cats!
Ask your employer to schedule a "Casual Day." Employees each donate $5 to Spay the Strays and are permitted to wear casual clothes to work on a specific day. What a great way to celebrate Prevent a Litter Month or Spay Day USA in February, St. "Catrick's" Day in March, Be Kind to Animals Week in May, International Homeless Animals Day in August or National Feral Cat Day in October!
