​Meet Glory!
As we approach the Fourth of July, Glory has a newfound freedom.  He was found behind an abandoned building badly injured, and in the worst shape I’ve ever seen a cat.  He had the will to live, and the personality of an angel.  With the help of Save Our Strays, we were able to get the medical attention that this badly injured cat needed.  As you can see, the progression of the pictures with his before, and after transformation, was amazing.  With time, and veterinary help and the help of Save Our Strays, he was able to be healed and put up for adoption.  Glory was facing certain death, but now he has a second chance at life.  So, I say glory, glory hallelujah!!!  This cat has been rescued.

Meet Tigger!
 
Isn’t he beautiful?  He was found wandering around in a Home Depot parking lot over a year ago.  He’s been with me all this time because he had a few behavior problems, that needed to be corrected.  With the help of Save Our Strays, he is finally ready for adoption.  He was neutered, and all his shots are done and he is ready to go. It just takes time, patience and love to correct behaviors that are not acceptable to be a indoor domestic cat.  Just like a small child, you take the time to correct them when they are behaving badly.  Same thing for an animal.  You must take the time to correct their behaviors, if it’s not a good behavior.  Otherwise, what’s the point of adopting a forever pet.  No person is perfect just like no Pet is perfect.  We all have our flaws, but that doesn’t mean that you get dumped at a Home Depot parking lot.  If you don’t want to take the time to work with your pet then please surrender them to a shelter.  Most shelters work by appointments, and you must be patient and wait your turn to drop off and surrender your pet that you thought you were going to have forever.  Please reconsider in surrendering your pet, and take the time to work with them.  Look how beautiful Tigger is.  I can’t imagine just leaving him in a parking lot.  
He has been rescued, and he will have a second chance at having a responsible owner.  Thank you to Save Our Strays for giving me the opportunity to continue my mission, and rescue these beautiful animals one at a time.

Meet Twinkie!
 
Twinkie was found roaming around a park.  She was super friendly, so we were able to pick her up and put her in a cage.  We took her home, and scanned her for a microchip and she did not have one.  Thanks to Save Our Strays, we were able to make an appointment to get her spayed and update her shots.  As you can see, she is an orange cat, and I would say 90% of the time orange cats are usually male, but Twinkie was definitely a girl.  We took her in to one of our veterinarians to be spayed, and the doctor said she had already been spayed.  It was terrible that she had to go through surgery to find this out.  This is what happens when people don’t microchip their cats.  It’s very important to have your pet microchipped nowadays.  It gives information to everyone just in case the cat is lost.  So, basically, whoever owned this cat before never got it back because we were not able to find the owner.  However, the good news is that Twinkie was adopted by a new family that loves her very much.  As you can see by the picture, she is healthy and happy and relaxing on the couch.  We made sure that we put a microchip on Twinkie.  That way, the same scenario doesn’t happen again.  Thanks to Save Our Strays for all their continued help.

            Meet Pepe!  He was found behind an abandoned house, after the owner of the house was put in a nursing home.  This is what happens when people get up in age, and can’t take care of their animals.  They are left behind with no one to take care of them. This woman was feeding three adult cats that were multiplying, and they were not spayed or neutered.  With spring around the corner, it’s going to be kitten season again. Thanks to Save Our Strays, Pepe and his two sisters were rescued.  They were spayed, and neutered and had all their shots done and were put up for adoption.  The two sisters got adopted, and now Pepe is waiting for his turn.  He’s a very handsome boy.  When you see an abandoned house, more than likely there are cats in the backyard or even living in the house.  Reach out to neighbors or the authorities, to make sure there’s no starving animals in or around the house.  Everyone needs to pitch in, and help when they can.  With spring around the corner, there will be lots of kittens born outside in the bushes, backyards, abandoned houses, anywhere they can find peace away from people.  If you see kittens, call your local shelter to see if they have any volunteers that could help, and if not, you can become a volunteer on your own and help.  We all need to do our part and help those that can’t help themselves.  Enjoy!

            Love is in the air!  It doesn’t have to be a boy, and girl for Valentine’s Day! Or even a romance thing.  These are two brothers, and they love each other so much!! Thanks to Save Our Strays, they were neutered and all their shots were done, and they are ready for adoption.  Unfortunately, they got adopted separately.  It may sound cruel to separate them, but now their valentines are there owners, who will take care of them and love them and feed them till the end of their time.  A cat is a great gift for someone that is wanting a cat.  They will give you unconditional love, and you will have someone to snuggle with at night.  Whether you have a spouse or not, a cat is great to snuggle with.  So, bring some love into your home this Valentine’s Day, and adopt a cat!  Enjoy!

​       It’s time to put the ugly Christmas sweater away, and get ready for the New
Year!  Maybe you want to start the New Year off adopting a cute kitten or even a
puppy!  Whichever you decide, remember that they are not a Christmas present or
New Year’s present, but they are part of the family and should stay with their famil
till the very end.  Thanks to Save Our Strays, there are many animals that have been rescued from the streets and are waiting for adoption.  It’s best to buy all your supplies like your little cat bed, food, toys, etc. before you go adopting.  It’s like getting ready for a baby to be born.  You get the baby’s room ready, and then you bring your baby home.  It’s the same for adopting an animal.  You get ready for it, and then you go and pick one out or for that matter let them pick you!!  Whichever way, you need to be prepared.  It will make a smooth transition for you, and your new pet.  The little baby
kitten in the picture was adopted as a second pet, and was taken to her new home and matched up with a male cat that looked just like her.  So, now they have each other to keep company.  Sometimes you not only need one pet.  You need two pets because if you work a long day at work, and your pet is home alone, sometimes it’s nice to adopt a companion for your pet.  Something to think about!
 
            Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year from the Florida Rescue Ranger and Save Our Strays!

Baby, it’s cold outside!
 
          It’s Snowy!!  She is snuggled up under her blanket.  Snowy was rescued from behind an apartment building, where there was a colony of six white cats.  With the help of Save Our Strays, one by one the cats have been rescued.  Snowy was spayed, and all her shots were done, and she was put up for adoption and found a beautiful home.  Now, she doesn’t have to be cold outside in the winter, and she could be snuggled up under her blanket with her new family.  This winter please don’t leave your pets outside when it’s cold.  They may be wearing a fur coat, but they still get cold like people do.  They prefer to be indoors away from the harsh elements of the weather.  Let’s be kind to our furry friends, and to one another.  Have a great holiday season, and remember to donate to the shelters this holiday season.  The animals really need your help.  That’s the only way to get them Rescued.  Thanks to Save Our Strays, and your donations, we can continue to save lives all year long with your help!

   As we approach Thanksgiving, these cats are thankful for being rescued and off the streets!!  They are relaxing in harmony together on a table in the screen patio, getting some fresh air and sunshine.  Thankful that an organization like, Save Our Strays cares!  All these cats have their own story, but they also share the same story. They have been rescued, and have been spayed and neutered, given shots and dewormed and are living the dream waiting for their forever home.  As people feed the homeless, let’s not forget the homeless animals that need to be fed also.  You can donate food to your shelters for Thanksgiving.  They would really appreciate the extra help.  Or you can also help by rescuing a cat in your own parking lot or in your backyard.  They will give you unconditional love for helping them, and feeding them. Let’s all give thanks for the food on our table, and for food for the homeless cats and dogs. Enjoy your holiday!

Meet Cheddar!
            Cheddar was born behind a mechanic shop, along with a twin brother who are both orange, and another kitten which was black.  They were all rescued when they were about eight weeks old, but at eight weeks old they were already feral, and they needed socializing.  Cheddar was the first one to make the turn-around, as I call it.  Thanks to Save Our Strays, they all got neutered and had their shots administered.  Ironically, one of my personal friends was looking for an Orange Kitten.  When I told her I had twin orange kittens, she was so excited and told me to pick out which one was friendlier, which happened to be Cheddar. Timing is everything in life.  That was the first time.  My friend asked me if I had an orange cat for adoption, and behold I sure did.  I brought Cheddar to her house on a trial run, to see if her adult cat Stella would get along with him.  She wanted her adult female cat to have a friend.  Apparently, Cheddar and her cat Stella had an immediate connection within 2 to 3 days, which is amazing in my opinion, for two cats to get along so quickly.  My friend told me that she was already falling in love with Cheddar.  You might say it was meant to be.  Thanks to Save Our Strays, I was able to rescue these kittens from behind the mechanic shop, and they won’t be suffering in the outdoor elements looking for food and shelter.  I still have the twin brother named Cheeto, and the black kitten named Louie.  They will have their day when they will be adopted, but for now I am their mommy until their forever home is found.  The mother of the kittens was trapped, and spayed and put back with the colony at the mechanic shop.  She’s doing very well, and now she doesn’t have to worry about getting pregnant again.  I really love what I do.  It brings me joy that the cats I rescue off the streets get good homes, and it makes it worthwhile for me to continue my mission with the help of Save Our Strays.  One cat or kitten at a time.
