Stay-A-While Cat Shelter

Stay-A-While Cat Shelter Stay-A-While is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to sheltering, caring for, and adopting cats out into life-long homes.

Stay-A-While Cat Shelter is a cage-less, no kill shelter that provides loving, compassionate and comprehensive care for cats and kittens awaiting adoption. We are located in North Royalton, Ohio. Our cats enjoy roaming free in large rooms in a spacious, ranch home situated on an acre lot, which has an abundance of trees and wildlife. Stay-A-While is a no-kill shelter as we do not euthanize cats ex

cept for hopeless health reasons. We are a small, private shelter with approximately 60-80 cats/kittens and we are only able to accept new residents when vacancies become available. We provide a safe and loving environment for cats and kittens until they can adopt caring people of their own. Once a cat is accepted into the shelter, it is given a medical examination, tested for Feline Leukemia Virus, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and given initial vaccinations. Cats over six months of age are spayed or neutered before adoption. The shelter is administered by an Advisory Board and is operated and maintained by a Director of Operations, Assistant Director, and several Operations Assistants, plus a staff of volunteers who carry out a myriad of functions. We are privately funded from the generosity of cat lovers through donations, adoption fees, and various fund-raising activities.

3 more weeks until our Annual Birthday Pawlooza where we will be celebrating Stay-A-While's 45th Anniversary! 🙀 Isn't that crazy?!?!

Here are some of the raffle baskets we have had donated. We have 2 of the ladybug scratcher, a turtle and a bee - they are SO cute!

We will be having pizza, bundtini's and a few snacks - July 11th from 12:00 - 4:00 at the shelter. Please stop by if you are able!

If you are wondering what the cats want for their birthday - well, they love Fancy Feast, Friskies & Temptations canned food as well as Party Mix and Temptation treats. They also love YOU - petting them and visiting with them >'.'<

Let me know if you have any questions please - we will not be doing adoptions on this day and we will be closed on the following day.

Thanks much - Beth and all the cats >'.'

And another 🥲

We said goodbye to Taz on May 29. This guy started his SAW time being incredibly scared, having never been touched by humans. Our staff and volunteers, oh he had his favorites, worked endlessly with him to where he was being petted and loved it! Honestly, there is nothing like watching a cat like him, grow into all that trust!

Taz loved other cats and his favorite was Wolfie Bear - he followed Wolfie everywhere and if Wolfie was ok with someone or something, then chances are, Taz would be too. Such a special and heartwarming friendship to have had the pleasure of watching
🖤🤍🩶

Until we meet again Taz - it was an honor to care for you...🐾🌈

I have fallen behind on several sad posts. I could do them all in one share but, they each deserve their own.

On May 22nd, we said goodbye to Digit 🩶

He lived at the shelter awhile and then needed to find a foster to work on his weight. He lived several years with one of our staff members and she treated him like royalty! They were perfect for each other and became best friends >'.'<

Until we meet again Digit - it was an honor... 🐾🌈🤍🩶
