Spay Our Strays

09/08/2026

Trapping success! Our volunteers have begun working on a large colony in Nicholasville, and yesterday they were able to trap 5 cats! We’ll likely be working on this colony for several weeks to come, but success on Day 1 is always a good sign. Can’t wait to see all these guys spayed, neutered, and vaccinated! 😻

PS Big projects like this come with a hefty price tag to match. If you’d like to help us offset the cost of helping this colony, consider making a donation! We can accept donations via Venmo (soscats), PayPal (soscatsky), and check (made out to “Spay Our Strays” and mailed to PO Box 21965, Lexington, KY, 40522).

We recently placed two ginger boys (if you know, you know) at a lovely hobby farm in Lexington! They’re joining another barn cat, Rocket, as well as plenty of sheep, donkeys, and one (very sweet) llama! We are so grateful to their new owners for providing them with a safe and loving home. Lucky guys! 😻

Please reach out to us if you’re in need or a barn cat (or two!) to help with critter control (or to just liven things up around the farm). Our working cat application can be found by visiting the link below:

We have been super behind on posting lately (oops!) but man, we’ve had quite the day!

30 (yes, THIRTY!) cats and kittens came to us for clinic today - for reference, that number is usually anywhere between 6 - 10! In the month of June alone, we’ve been able to TNR over 60 community cats! 🐾

Thank you so much to our partners Focus Veterinary Care and Eastland Animal Clinic and Grooming for spaying / neutering, vaccinating, ear tipping, and providing vital medical treatment to all these cats and kittens. Despite some injuries and illnesses, they’re all already on the road to recovery!

We are so grateful to our incredible volunteer, Dylon Robinson, who has put in an immense amount of time and energy into his TNR work. He’s TNRd over 1,000 cats since 2023! If you’re interested in getting involved with TNR and helping community cats in your area, please reach out to us today! 😻

In an effort to control the tri-counties’ stray and feral cat population, a London resident has worked with a trap-neuter-release program to neuter and spay more than 1,000 cats in the past three years.

The five stages of Wednesdays: sadness, confusion, bargaining, anger, acceptance (staring into the void and waiting for the weekend to finally arrive).

Even though these guys don’t look too happy to see us, we’re very happy to report we TNR’d 10 cats today! 😻 Aside from a couple of minor injuries, which were treated by our awesome partner vet, these kitties are all healthy and ready to be released back to their homes (where they can continue making very entertaining facial expressions).

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise over $600 on KY Gives Day! 😻

We spayed and neutered 10 cats this week (yay!), and the amount we raised will fully cover all of their spay / neuter surgeries! Your continued support means the world to us and our mission. Fundraising events (like KY Gives Day) and community support make up 100% of the donations that keep us going each and every year. We truly couldn’t do it without you! 🖤
