We have a new location we're showing kitties at. Check us out at the PetSmart at the corner of Highway 150 and Highway 31, we're doing adoptions daily at this location. This is diagonally across from the Galleria Mall, and next door to Best Buy and Bruno's. Come see us every day here!
We have some updated donation locations for you. Since some of the stores that have graciously allowed us to put donation boxes in their stores are closing, we are working on getting more locations. Below is the most current information I have on our new donation boxes:
- Piggly Wiggly - Bluff Park
- Western - Rocky Ridge Road
- Publix - Overton Road
- Western - Mountain Brook

Now that we're into 2006, and as you're considering making tax deductible donations for the new year, we hope you'll consider Save Our Strays. Save Our Strays is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. We can accept donations via Paypal, or via checks mailed to the address on our Contact Us page. Make sure to ask your employer about matching gifts. Some employers will match donations to charitable organizations such as our's!
We are a regular part of the Critter Magazine, a new local magazine featuring animal groups helping pets in need. Pick up your copy today at most local vets.
What is Save Our Strays? What Does SOS Do?
- A nonprofit no-kill animal organization since 1999 (although work began much earlier)
- A total volunteer organization operation under the direction of a Board of Directors.
- Funding is obtained primarily from personal donations, a part-time SOS thrift store, yearly silent auctions and seasonal garage sales
- Not all of our cats are feral cats. In fact, many of our cats are house cats who were abandoned by their owners or whose owners passed away.
- Volunteers love to feed, transport, clean, trap, find homes, and work the thrift store. (This web site was donated and is kept updated by a volunteer!) Volunteers work 7 days a week (rain, snow, freezing cold, sweltering heat) and into every night. These animals must be cared for every day...not matter what else is happening in our lives. This requires a very unique and dedicated love for animals!
- SOS receives over 100 calls every week from people seeking assistance for distressed animals.
- Advocates of the Trap-Neuter-Return program (for more info, see Alley Cat Allies)
- Over 850 animals have found either permanent or foster homes.
- Over 750 animals have received medical attention.
- Over 350 animals are fed and cared for every day.
This attention requires an enormous amount of support in addition to personal time. Thousands of dollars are spent each month on food, medicine, cages, traps, rent, and Veterinary bills...and still more animals are being identified each day in need of assistance
