My neighbors moved out and left their cat. So she came to our house. She was so hungry. We started feeding her really good cat food. Her coat started looking better. Then of course she ended up pregnant with 4 kittens. We went to Save a Stray to get the Mama cat spayed, the only male neutered. Two weeks later we took another female to be spayed. And now today we went to drop off the remaining two females to get spayed. They told us they received a grant!! It was only $25 to spay each kitten. They are both 5 months old by the way. I am SO impressed at how professional the team is and how they work together. It’s so easy to get our kittens checked in. If they only had a vet, I would absolutely never go back to our vet that we’ve been using for years. I totally recommend Save a Stray!!!

Volunteered to foster with save a stray. I got contacted by Kelly asking me if I was interested in fostering a cat. I told her I was but I informed her that I already had one cat in the household. She never replied after that, which I found very unprofessional and kind of disrespectful. I sent a follow up message to her and she never answered, again. If this is how the people at save a stray are, I don't want to volunteer for them. People like that are what make working in shelters unpleasant

Brenda helped us get two feral cats neutered. While it wasn’t easy catching them we felt it was worth it. Please support this organization.

I have never dealt with a non profit like this that claims to have the best interest of the animal but all you truly seem to care about is how you can get rid of the dog the quickest. How quick a meet and greet went from Sunday to suddenly today when I had reached out to you that I had changed my plans around to try and take her sooner. I find them to be short and unprofessional. Don't waste your time, they only care about getting rid the animal with the fastest adopter,Its an adoption of a loving animal, not an impersonal pawn shop. Not even worth filling out the application and sharing all of your personal Information with people like this.

I got my lease terminated after 9 years, because I had taken in a Stray mother to be. She had 8 puppies that I helped deliver and raise for 4 mons. Since we had to move out I had to get these dogs new homes. When I took some of the dogs in for shots at the Springhill Animal Clinic they told me about Save a Stray. They placed them with a foster that kept them in a hot barn, little human interaction, no water or food two of the three times I went to visit. After demanding they be seen for rashs, and bad skin problems the vet went and gave antibiotic shots. I was told I could not see them anymore. These people hurt my family (3kids). It was truly awful. I am not allowed to know what is happening with my dogs. So so sad.

The people who run this group are the best. If everyone was this good there would be no need for rescue groups.

I received a call from a volunteer I'm not naming who was completely out of line. My sister saw a cat with a hurt leg for over a year in her backyard - and did nothing. Two weeks ago the cat started hanging around my sister's yard more along with 2 kittens. I have a long history of rescuing and working at a Vet. I told my sister I could help her trap them. I emailed rescues, and she contacted a Save A Stray (SAS) volunteer she knows. The volunteer from SAS told her to consider euthanizing the cat which was the same response I received from SAS. My sister refused to even fill out the SAS form, wanted me to submit my contact info which I did (this is one thing I was attacked for). My sister is volatile, and things went south quickly while trying to make a plan for the cats. The momma cat clearly had a broken leg, and appeared to be pregnant again. Because my sister and I were no longer speaking I reached out to the SAS volunteer that knows my sister to see if the cats were going to be taken care of. The leg is badly broken, and has been for three years. The options to fix it are limited, and amputation is the most likely treatment. The SAS volunteer chose not to respond to me when I reached out. I was told by another source that my sister canceled a Vet appointment for the cats a week earlier, and that she was no longer going to help the cats. I was under the impression no one was going to help the cats. I went around the neighborhood trying to find the owners, and I did. I found out there is another pregnant female. In our discussions I tried educating them about how often cats can breed, what a cat colony can do to a neighborhood, and strongly suggested that the momma cat's leg be addressed. I was trying to build a bridge with the owners for the sake of the cats. There are 6 cats that need to be fixed - 2 are pregnant. I called my mother and told her that the cats had an owner. My mother said my sister was taking 2 cats to be fixed the next day. I told my mother to tell my sister the cats have owners, and we were working with a different organization to get them fixed and the leg addressed. My sister told my mother she did not care they had owners, she was taking them to be fixed anyway. I was worried if my sister did that then the owners would be mad, and not follow through getting the cats taken care of. I called the owners and said my sister plans on taking 2 cats in to be fixed tomorrow - is that ok? They were absolutely NOT ok with the cats being fixed and having their ears tipped. The owners called my sister numerous times and left messages asking her NOT to take the cats in. My sister took their cats anyway - even after my mother said they have an owner, and the owner called her and said not to. The owners showed up at my sister's house and my sister told them the cats were at the Vet. She gave them the Vet's name, and the woman got the cats back. I wish the cats had better owners, but those are still the cat's owners and it is their call when to spay/neuter. I feel trying to educate them on the issues, while also getting them to act on the needs of their cats, is a good lesson. The SAS volunteer did not think so. Like I told the volunteer twice - we are on the same side - we just have different ways of getting to the goal. The volunteer called me and blamed me for the owner taking her cats from the Vet. She told me I knew that her and my sister were going to take the cats to the Vet - I had no clue because she never returned my call. It wasn't until around 8:30 pm the night before my sister was to take the cats in that I found out about it. By then I had found the owners and started crafting a plan with them to fix their cats. The volunteer was angry I told the owners the cats were going be fixed - again these cats have owners, why don't your volunteers respect that? She attacked me for filling out the form my sister told me to fill out, and said she didn't know I was a Vet and able to diagnosis a leg amputation. After three years with a leg that just flops - amputatio
