Temporary Pause on New Cat and Kitten Intake Requests Through November 10, 2026

Stray Cat Blues is extending its temporary pause on accepting new cats and kittens into our care through November 10, 2026.

During this time, our Help Request form will remain closed. However, we will continue responding to certain types of requests as outlined below.

Like many rescues, we are experiencing a high volume of requests for assistance, limited foster availability, and significant waiting lists. This temporary pause allows us to review outstanding requests, follow up on cats still needing assistance, and focus our available resources on the cats and kittens already in our care.

Requests We Will Continue to Accept

  • TNVR Assistance: If you need help with Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) for community cats, please email helprequests@straycatblues.org. Please understand that wait times may be longer than usual.

  • Returning a Previously Adopted Cat: If you need to return a cat adopted from Stray Cat Blues, please complete our Return a Cat form.

  • Orphaned Neonatal Kittens in Medical Distress: Please email helprequest@straycatblues.org.

For other assistance, please visit our Local Resources page for information about organizations and services that may be able to help.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through existing requests and evaluate our capacity to assist additional cats.

Stray Cat Blues, Inc.

Be aware that each week, Stray Cat Blues receives many more requests to take in cats and kittens than we are able to accommodate. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to take the cat(s) that you contact us about. We will do our best to respond right away, but if you do not hear back from us, feel free to send a follow-up email to helprequestfollowup@straycatblues.org. Please help us also spread the word of Stray Cat Blues and help us help more cats (https://www.straycatblues.org). By submitting this intake request, please note that we will also add you to our email database to keep you informed about the work we are doing to help cats.
