Found a Cat?
Stray Cat Blues may be able to help. Please complete the Request for Help Form below to share more information on the cats or kittens. Our service area is central parts of Bucks and Montgomery Counties and the immediately surrounding areas. Please remember we are an all volunteer foster based rescue, so we can not help every request that we receive. Check out our list of other resources.
If you find…
kittens
Are the kittens visibly sick or injured?
YES: Contact an animal welfare organization or shelter that can help you assess whether the kittens need intervention. If that isn't possible, take the kittens to a veterinarian immediately.
NO: Estimate the kittens' age by how they look.
Help I found…
kittens outside
If possible, bring mom cat and kittens inside. They can be kept in a spare bedroom, bathroom, or basement. Keep in mind that this is only temporary until you can place them with a rescue. Keep the cats separate from any pet cats that you have in order to prevent disruption to your pets.
If you find…
a cat
Check with neighbors to see if it may be their cat.
Post cat on social media as found.
Take to a local vet to get the cat scanned for a chip(this is free).
If the cat is friendly, we recommend that you bring the cat inside if you haven't already. This may seem difficult or impossible to do, but remember this arrangement is only temporary. Consider keeping the rescued cats/kittens in a spare room, basement, or garage. They can be confined in your house inside a large cage, dog crate or cat playpen if you need to restrict their access to other areas of your home.
We can offer advice and assistance on trapping a wary or frightened cat. We have a few traps that can be loaned out with a refundable deposit. Don't forget to provide the cat with a litterbox and food/water. You should keep the rescued cat separate from any pet cats that you have in your home until the cat can be checked by a vet.
If you cannot find a placement &
the cat must remain outside:
If the cats/kittens must remain outside please provide them with food, water, and suitable shelter. An insulated, weatherproof box should be placed slightly off the ground in a protected area. Use straw inside for comfort and additional warmth - NOT blankets, which retain moisture and make it colder. The door opening should only be large enough for the cats to enter.
It's extremely important to get the cats spayed/neutered and vaccinated for rabies.
