Meet Speckles, a resilient 5-year-old cat that is a super sweet love bug. His journey began in the roughest of circumstances, when he was found in a barn in East Greenville—thin, hungry, and battered from past mistreatment. His body was marked with wounds, evidence of a hard life, and it took time and patience to gain his trust.
Once safely inside, Speckles blossomed into the affectionate, biscuit-making love bug he was always meant to be. Now, Speckles loves nothing more than curling up with his human and making biscuits as he purrs in contentment.
Though he has FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), Speckles is in excellent health and can live a long and fulfilling life. As long as he’s kept indoors and given lots of love and attention, he’s all set for many more years of happiness. He would prefer to be the only cat in the household, as his past trauma—being attacked by other cats—is how he contracted FIV. He’s ready to be your one and only feline companion, giving you all the love and affection you could ever need.
Speckles is proof that no matter how rough the start, love, patience, and a second chance can heal even the deepest scars. This sweet survivor is now ready to live the rest of his life surrounded by care, comfort, and the warmth of a loving home.

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.
