Cat Box Opportunities for Support

opportunity is scratching!

Friends of Strays' beautiful new cat adoptions center, The Cat Box, opens July 1! This fully-renovated new facility offers a calm retreat for our adoptable cats as they wait for their new homes. The diverse environments our new space provides allows cats to be comfortable and safe until they are adopted. 

This first phase of our expansion has only been possible thanks to our community, and there are many opportunities for YOU to be part of the Cat Box! Browse our opportunities for support below.
To initiate any of these options, please contact Karen Van De Putte, Director of Development, at [email protected] or 727-522-6566 ext. 114.
