Notes from Stray Love Foundation, Inc.

Meet Josie-This little Manx girl is bold, bright, and endlessly entertaining. She loves exploring, chasing toys, and being the first to investigate anything new. Josie has a confident spark and a sweet side — she enjoys attention and happily leans into affection. She’s ready for a home that appreciates her lively spirit and loving nature.

At just 10 weeks old, Josie and her 3 siblings (Jonah, Jude and Julian) were abandoned on the side of the road in a neighborhood, struggling with severe eye infections, upper respiratory illness, malnutrition, and heavy worm loads. A kindhearted Good Samaritan found them and rushed them to safety. They were immediately taken to the vet, isolated, and given the medical care, nourishment, and love they desperately needed. Today, they’re recovering beautifully and showing just how strong and sweet they truly are. Updated pictures will be coming soon.

Please remember: Unless otherwise specified, all our kittens and cats are strictly indoor pets.

If you’re interested in adoption, please visit straylovefoundation.org and complete an adoption application.

Every rescue in our care receives comprehensive vetting, which includes:

A combo test Deworming Spay/neuter procedures Vaccinations Microchipping

We take every possible step to ensure their health and happiness, giving them the best chance at a long, fulfilling life.

While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history). Additionally, medical tests—though highly reliable—can occasionally yield false negatives. Unexpected health issues may arise, either before or after adoption, but thanks to our thorough vetting process, the likelihood of a long and healthy life is very high.

Additional adoption details:

Transportation fees, if applicable, vary based on distance and expenses. Home checks may be conducted. Our standard tax-deductible adoption donation is $268. For special breeds, uniquely colored, or exceptionally adorable rescues, we may request a higher donation to help cover vet expenses.

Can't adopt? Consider donating, sponsoring, or volunteering! Every form of support makes a difference.
