Carin' About the Strays Rescuing abandoned & orphaned kittens, providing them care & support, and adopting into forever homes Carin’ About The Strays, depends solely on volunteers.

Nonprofit We are based out of Cookeville TN serving Putnam County. We specialize in pregnant females, orphaned kittens, injured animals which are treated at Ragland and Riley Veterinary Hospital . Our rescued animals are placed in a foster home, where they can be socialized and house trained, which gives them a better chance to be adopted, and make the adoption more successful. We are a Cat Rescue

, but will try to help dogs and other animals find the help they need. Our animals have come from environments that were not healthy for the animals such as abandoned animals, orphaned kittens, pregnant females or animals that were given up due to owner financial or other issues. We rely on sponsors and donations to pay for medical bills for our rescue animals. We are always looking for foster parents for our animals that are in need of a loving and caring home. Get Involved! Become a Foster Parent: Fostering animals is a rewarding experience! Many of the animals have had bad experiences with the human population and are scared and untrusting, by becoming a foster home you will be able to socialize and gain the animals trust, and in doing that they will be better prepared to be adopted into their forever homes. It is very rewarding when you recognize the difference you have made in the animals life. Donate can! We accept monetary donations and we also gladly accept pet carriers, cat toys, treats, food, and anything else that can help with the health and comfort of our animals while they are in our care. Any and all donations are appreciated. Contact: [email protected]

🎉 Happy Tails Update: Hoby, Now Known as Loki! 🎉

We love a good happily-ever-after—and this one’s too sweet not to share! 💕

Back in April, our curious little tabby Hoby found his forever home, and now he’s thriving as Loki—living up to his new name with intelligence, mischief, and lots of love! 😺

His wonderful adopter, Kristi D Spencer, shared this update:

“In two months he has shown to be highly intelligent and curious! He loves our playtime, cuddle time, and brushing time. We’re currently training with a harness for light hiking this fall!”

From shelter snuggles to outdoor adventures, Loki’s story reminds us why we do what we do. Thank you to his new family for giving him a life full of love, stimulation, and cozy routines—and for sharing his journey with us! 💛

Wishing Loki many more happy trails and tail wags ahead! 🐾
