My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am a very small, loving little girl with a problem. The vets suspect I have a condition called feline herpes. It's not contagious to humans or dogs or anything and doesnt really bother me, other than I get congested alot and sometimes I sneeze out some boogies. My foster mama wipes my nose for me and we get back to snuggling, but lots of forever families have passed me over because they worry I'm really sick. I hope my family who doesnt mind my occasional snottiness is out there looking for me! I have PURRFECT litterbox manners, love all people and other kitties, and am ok with cat-friendly doggies, too!

** The vast majority of cats in our area carry the feline herpes virus already, but do not express it like Pocus does. You shouldn't have to worry about your other cats. If you have questions about your other cats, please reach out to your vet prior to adopting. Pocus may grow out of it as she (and her immune system) mature, or it may be a life-long condition, we don't know.**

Additional adoption info

Tampa Bay Strays is a network of foster homes, and all animals are under the care of a foster. Occasionally, we will utilize local adoption centers located in pet stores or other areas, where you may meet available kitties and adopt in-store! Please visit our website and follow us on facebook/instagram to stay in the "know" for upcoming adoption events!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our pets live in the comfort of foster homes with dedicated caregivers to oversee their daily and medical needs. Once you identify a pet and have moved through the application process, we will connect you with the foster to arrange a time and place to do a meet-n-greet.

More about this rescue

Tampa Bay Strays, Inc. is an all-volunteer 501 (c)3 non-profit corporation founded in 2022 and located in Tampa, Florida. We are dedicated to providing a safe, temporary, loving home for lost, abandoned, stray or otherwise homeless cats and dogs in the Tampa Bay area. We provide medical care, vaccinations, spay / neuter, medical procedures, and testing of animals in our care, and facilitate the adoption of animals in the care of our foster volunteers to permanent, loving homes. As a no-kill organization we do NOT euthanize unless medically necessary under exigent circumstances. We promote spay / neuter practices to provide longevity of good health, disease deterrence and control the overpopulation of stray cats and dogs. As we are not government subsidized, we depend on the generosity of private donors and corporate sponsors who share our altruistic beliefs and goals.
