Adopt a Straygency agent. Warning: agents are known to sabotage lonely evenings, dismantle stress, and leave affection-based evidence all over your lap!

Declawing:

We are proudly and unapologetically an anti-declaw rescue. Declawing isn’t a manicure—it’s an amputation of the last bone of each toe, a procedure so painful it’s been banned in dozens of countries. Cats who are declawed often develop chronic pain, arthritis, and litter box avoidance because it hurts to dig. Because our mission is to protect the cats in our care long after they leave us, all adopters must agree never to declaw any cat adopted from our rescue. We do not allow exceptions—ever. If you’re looking for a cat who can live happily with their claws intact (as nature intended), we’re the rescue for you.

Adoption Fees:

Before you take home your new furry sidekick, we’ve gotta talk about the adoption fee.  We know – no one loves fees but this one isn’t a villain…it’s actually the super hero of the story.

Why Do We Charge an Adoption Fee?

Because rescuing cats isn’t free—and kittens still refuse to pay rent—every furry guest at The Straygency arrives with a whole dossier of needs: vet visits, parasite meds, and the occasional “I picked up a funk from my prior outdoor adventures” moment.  Your adoption fee heads straight into our “Oh great, another surprise cat just materialized out of thin air” emergency fund, which goes directly toward their care. We’re 100% volunteer-run, with zero paid staff, so every penny of adoption fees and donations goes exactly where it should: to the cats.

The Official Straygency Rates

·       Adult Cats: $100

·       Kittens: $125 – yes, kittens cost more.  They eat like tiny linebackers.

·       Bonded pair: $150 – because who are we to get in the middle of a situationship?

What Does the Adoption Fee Cover?

Your fee directly covers real-life, that actually costs money stuff, including:

·       Spay/neuter surgery – because we’re ending the “baby boom” that none of us asked for.

·       Age-appropriate vaccinations

·       Deworming & parasite treatments

·       Flea/tick prevention

·       Microchip & registration

·       FeLV/FIV testing

·       Medications and vet exams while in our care.

If you went out and paid for all of these services on your own, you’d be dropping anywhere from $350 - $700 per cat.  So, when you adopt from us, you’re not just saving a life and money – you’re getting a vetted, fixed, cleaned-up, de-parasited, microchipped, fully briefed cat who’s ready for their forever home.

Why Not Make Adoption Free?

Because then we couldn’t:

·       Help the next sick kitten found in a parking lot

·       Say “yes” when someone finds a stray that desperately needs medical care

·       Take in a stray momma cat with a litter of 5 sick kittens

Your adoption fee isn’t a purchase price.  It’s a rescue investment that allows us to keep saving cats who can’t save themselves.
