We wish all our Jewish friends, and members a Happy Roshanah, and an easy fast for Yom Kippur. In New York there was a bill before the City Council to ban horse drawn carriages, because a person fell out of a horse drawn carriage and was killed. Many horses have been killed in traffic. The City Council voted it down. Please find out who these Council Members are, and don’t vote for them in the future. The Transport Workers Union of America, which represents the Horse Carria

Hi. September is here, and I can’t believe how quickly this year has passed. I hope that you all had a wonderful summer. This time of year also marks the beginning of the new school season, and before we know it, the holidays will be upon us. This month also marks the beginning of the fall season, where we will see all the beautiful colors of autumn. It also means that winter, and the cold weather, is not far behind, and this brings more hardships for the strays. So please

Meet sweet Taffy! She was found running around a rehab center. The only cat there, and the owner of the establishment didn’t want her there. It was a perfect place for her, and she would hang out with all the patients that were there, but in the long run the owner of the business wins. She was not spayed, and she had some kind of trauma to the eye. Thanks to Save Our Strays, we got her checked out by a professional Eye Doctor and he said that the eye was blind and that it ha

As our readers know, we do partner frequently with the community, and are firm believers that those partnerships hit issues at ground level, before they become shelter issues. We link hands under those who are struggling. The struggle is real. One of our local community contacts texted, and said that they had talked a feral boy into coming in to see the “other side.” The cat had been seen in the neighborhood for at least three years, and had been elusive until just recently.

Hello again. It’s hard to believe that the summer is over, and it’s September already. Please remember to keep an eye out for the strays in your area, and to start setting up shelters for the strays, as the cooler weather is right around the corner. On another note, I would like to tell you about some of the rescues that we have been involved in lately. SCARLET – Scarlet is a little kitten, about 3 months old. She was found in the grass behind an apartment house. She had a

LABOR DAY HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH YOM KIPPUR Dear Friends, and Members: It has been extremely hot all over the country, and beyond our shores. There have been earthquakes, flooding, fires and worse, there has been loss of human life. In one way or another, human life finds as much help as possible – not enough at times, but help is there. As far as animal life is concerned, the unspoken loss is not addressed. There are organizations that can help in certain areas, but not all. W

We wish to say thank you to all the people who help rescue animals. The thank you goes out also to the people that have water, and dry food in a carry bag, in case they come upon a poor soul in need. Again, I will bring to your attention the homeless, who adopt a stray and share their food with them. So, if you see a homeless person with an animal, if you can, offer food and water. It will be appreciated by both man or woman, and animal. Clothes or blankets make a sidewalk be

Hi. August is here again, and so far this has been one of the hottest summers we have had. Please, please watch out for the strays, and remember to carry dry food, as moist food will spoil in the heat. A cold bottle of water will also be helpful. Also, remember to bring something to put the water in. You can make a bowl from aluminum foil wrap, which you can fold in your bag. It is just as difficult for the strays to find these necessities in the hot weather, as it is in wint

Meet Cooper!! He was found behind an elderly man’s house. Originally there were two kittens, but unfortunately, the sibling did not make it. He was loaded with mange and just very unhealthy. Thanks to Save Our Strays for stepping in, and helping to get this baby back on track. He received Ivermectin, and was neutered and all his shots were done. Cooper was saved from a life of living a struggle outdoors, with no one to care for him and love him. He has been adopted by a lovel

As our readers know, we do partner frequently with other local rescues, and are firm believers that rescues should always help each other when able, and link hands under those who are struggling. The struggle is real. One associate recently spear-headed a huge trap/neuter/recover/release initiative, which resulted in 87 cats being altered in one sitting! An amazing endeavor. 87 cats will now live their feral lives, without contributing to the population. Young weaned kittens

Hello again. It’s the month of August, and I hope that you are all enjoying your summer, and staying safe. Please remember to try to keep an eye out for the strays, and help them with dry food and water whenever and wherever you can. On another note, I would like to tell you about some of the rescues that I have been involved in lately. TINA & HER 6 BABIES – I received a call from someone, telling me that she was walking in her neighborhood at midnight, and saw a skinny cat,

Dear Friends and Members: Summer heat is at its highest, unless you live in the mountains. Many strays lose their lives to Heat Stroke. Please leave, at least water, and if you can, dry food. At least the water hydrates, and the dry food gives some nourishment. When we live in the city, we can’t understate the hardships that the strays go through. We see it every day, and it is a terrible thing. I now live in the South. We have many strays here also. Along with the strays, we

Adam, Eve and Sponsor-A-Stray members, thank you for all that you do. Please update your mailing address – we don’t want to lose you. Let us know your summer/winter address. If you know of anyone who is interested in joining our programs, Adam Eve and Sponsor-A-Stray, to help the strays, please give them our literature. It is very important to have more people join. Please visit our website. We are always updating the pictures of animals that we have helped. The website addre

Hi. July is here again. It is unbelievable how quickly time passes. As I am writing this, we are already experiencing temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s. I hope that this summer won’t be a scorcher. The weather was pretty good this past month, despite a few thunderstorms here and there. So far, the strays are doing as well as can be expected, but please try to remember to carry pet food, and water with you. It is difficult for them to find these necessities for themselves, and

This is Penny Isn’t she cute? Penny is a miracle cat! She was found, totally by accident, while I was searching for another cat that was missing from the colony. I came across Penny at a car dealership. I left her some food, and I realized that she was pregnant. Totally unexpected. I trapped her, and I brought her home, hoping and praying that she was friendly and not wild. I had decided to let her have the babies, because she was very pregnant. At first, she was eating and

STEDE’S STORY One of our rescue partners is actively engaged in the care, and sanctuary of special needs cats. Stede is an 11-year-old neutered boy, who had been adopted out by us, but returned when his family fell on hard times, and due to economic stress and a change in residences, we made the hard decision to send him where he could get the medical care he needed. Stede has a Hemangioma in his mouth - a very vascular growth (a blood-filled mass, fed heavily by local blo

Hello again. I would like to start off by wishing all of our friends, and their families a safe, and Happy Fourth of July. Please be aware of the strays in your area, as well as your own pets, as the noise from the fireworks frightens them. On another note, I would like to tell you about some of the rescues that I have been involved in lately. LANA – At one of my colonies, I noticed that one of my cats was having trouble eating. I had been noticing that for a while. I realize

Experts from regulatory agencies, industry, academia, and civil society outline key steps for transition to a non-animal testing regulatory framework in the EU and globally BRUSSELS—A new roundtable report on phasing out animal testing in chemical safety assessments makes a significant contribution to the continuing drive to promote the development and implementation of non-animal methods.

Dear Friends and Members: This is a special July. It is 250 years that our country is in existence. We have come a long way in Animal Rights, but not nearly enough. We still have a long way to go. There are articles that we have written that bear repeating, and last July’s Waggin’ Tails is one of them. So, here are some excerpts from July 2025. Once a year, we take an important issue and repeat an article that we think is important to repeat. 1. Be a responsible pet owner. Kn
