Gracie is a miracle kitten, defying all odds. Rescued from euthanasia at the city shelter, she faced a life-threatening condition: Megaesophagus. Born with this condition, it made swallowing difficult, forcing her to eat a liquid diet because whole foods could cause her to choke. Her prognosis wasn’t good, she was labeled a “special needs” kitten, many not thinking she could survive.
This brave little kitten’s journey includes a failed open chest surgery and a heartbreaking “hospice’ label. But as sick as she was, she was still so loving and full of joy! She underwent a dangerous second open chest surgery; this time it was successful! Gracie is now a regular, healthy kitten, ready for adoption!
Gracie’s journey has made her a gentle, quieter, loving soul. Although she’s a year old, she didn’t get to be a kitten as she battled her health issues, so she still has kitten energy and she’s not done growing. She enjoys playing fetch when you throw her favorite fuzzy balls- she’ll actually bring it back to you! She likes bird watching from her favorite cat tower. She talks when she gets exited about mealtime. If you pull out a fuzzy blanket, she’ll either sit on your lap or snuggle next to you. Her tail is fluffier than the rest of her body, her hair feels like soft clouds, and she has adorable fur tufts between her toes.
Gracie and her foster “brother” PJ are bonded and must be adopted together. Although not actually related, PJ became her big brother when she came into foster care all by herself. They are inseparable; when she can’t find him, she cries. PJ was her rock during her sick days- cuddling her, grooming each other, showing her comfort and also how to play. They chase each other up and down the stairs. You can always find them hugging as they sleep in their cat tree perch.
Gracie prefers a quieter home and no adult cats. Children might be okay if they understand patience and have prior cat experience; this can be discussed with her Foster Mom. A family who can offer her a calm, loving home in which she can take her time becoming your best friend, would be the perfect match.
Are you ready to give Gracie and PJ the family they have been patiently waiting for?

The first step is to complete an Application. Start at the Adoption page on our website - https://www.straycatblues.org/adoption-process

Once approved, we will set up a meet and greet for you with the cat(s) you are interested in.

Additional adoption info
During review of the application if you rent your home, we confirm with your landlord that you are allowed to have the cat per your lease.
We also consider if a particular cat is a good fit for your home. Certain cats will do better in homes without small children, or without other cats. Other cats may need to be adopted with a cat that they are bonded with. So we make sure that the cat and the home are a good match before completing an adoption.
Some of our fosters allow trial adoptions, where you would have 2-3 weeks to make sure that the cat being adopted was accepted by the other pets in your home. If you are interested in this, please ask your Adoption Representative.
All cats adopted from Stray Cat Blues have been screened for feline leukemia and FIV, inoculated, sterilized and wormed when they first come to us. Additional vet work is completed for those cats that require additional care. Healthy, adoptable cats and kittens are then housed through our network of foster homes until they are adopted.
You are also welcome to come visit cats at our PetSmart Collegeville and PetSmart North Wales/Montgomeryville locations (see times for adoption showings). If you see a cat there that you like, you can complete an adoption application there in person.
Questions - email us at: contact@straycatblues.org. We are happy to answer general questions, and also put you in touch with the foster families for questions about specific cats.
Adoption Fees:
• $150 - Kittens up to one year of age
• $100 - For cats over one year and up to 7 years of age
• $70 - For cats 7 years of age and over.
All fees are subject to Pennsylvania's 6% sales tax and a minimum of $5 or 5% service fee.
