We’re a group of compassionate cat lovers who are making a difference to the lives of Sydney street cats. Responsible Rehoming Organization number: R251000250

Inner City Strays, Inc is a not-for-profit incorporated association and charity comprising of a team of dedicated, passionate volunteers. Our work involves reducing stray numbers by rescuing young kittens and cats from various places around the inner city area of Sydney. We provide them with health checks and necessary veterinary treatments, foster and socialise them, before adopting them out to good homes through respected agencies or veterinary practices. Currently there is an unknown number of cats living on the streets of Sydney that are constantly at risk of being hit by cars and suffer from untreated disease or injury. These cats form colonies which may comprise of just a few felines to quite a large number. Through no fault of their own they are often persecuted by residents, members of the public, local businesses or various government departments that refuse to see them as a living, sentient animal. As we are all volunteers we would love the the support of cat lovers who want to see life-affirming programs implemented. We need tangible contributions; money, volunteers, cat food, foster carers, as well as community legal, veterinary and local business support. We support the internationally recognised ‘Five Freedoms’ of animal welfare:

Freedom from hunger and thirst
Freedom from discomfort
Freedom from pain, injury or disease
Freedom to express normal behaviour
Freedom from fear and distress

As we work on the frontline we can see that as a society we should be taking proactive steps to prevent further suffering & offer care. Our dedicated team makes the lives of these street cats so much better.

Assisted Rehome

We have been contacted by a lady called Jesika who helps street cats find homes. She is searching for a home for Bandit.

Male · Approximately 5 years old · Black and white
Desexed · Microchipped - 991003003722616 · Vaccinated · FIV-positive

Bandit is shy at first, but once he feels comfortable he becomes affectionate and enjoys attention. He is happy to be patted and particularly enjoys being stroked along his back and tummy. He also enjoys being brushed.
He is not especially interested in toys and seems to prefer being close to people. Jesika thinks he would enjoy being a lap cat.

He would likely suit a calm, patient home where he can settle at his own pace and build trust, particularly with someone looking for a gentle and affectionate companion.

Jesika prefers any existing cats are also fiv positive.

It can be hard to home FIV positive cats as the stigma around FIV still exists.

For any enquiries please contact Jesika via this adoption link

Happy Sunday courtesy of Asha.

Asha would like to remind everyone Sunday mornings are purrfect for curling up and cuddling your tail.

At just 8 months old, this sweet little girl has already been on quite a journey.

Asha came into care as a ten week old kitten after being found hiding underneath a school with her sister, Bambi.

Asha can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give her a little time to settle in and you’ll discover the most wonderful little companion. 🥰 Once she feels safe, she’ll become your best buddy, she is a gentle and sweet girl who loves to nap on your lap.

If you’d like to meet Asha please fill in our expression of interest form.

All cats are desexed, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Cats over 6 months are FIV tested. Our rescue is foster-based and all our kitties live in homes across Sydney.

A kind lady feeding colony cats in Lidcombe has reached out looking for help.

'I am looking for a reliable and committed volunteer (or volunteers) to take over the feeding of two small colonies in Lidcombe as I am leaving the state in December. One colony has six cats, the other has five. Both colonies are desexed and all cats appear healthy. The colonies are fed once a day, in the evening. If you can take on this commitment, please message Lydia on 0402 958 350. Thank you.'

If you are near the area or know of someone who is please reach out to Lydia.
