Bobbi and the Strays’ dedicated staff and volunteers rescue, foster, care for the animals, and place them in loving homes.
Learn MoreOur Mission
Bobbi and the Strays believe that animals deserve our love, compassion, and respect. Our purpose is to undertake rescue operations and to provide essential care for orphaned, stray, abused and special needs cats and dogs.
Through rehabilitation, socialization, and adoption, we endeavor to provide a humane service to all animals that come into our care. Additionally, we generate awareness about the prevention of animal abuse and neglect as well as spay/neuter programs and their important effect on the dog and cat overpopulation crisis.
Through the years our mission has evolved from just rescue and adoption to community service and educational programs to improve the quality of life to all of the NYC boroughs and Long Island.
Our rescues are brought to schools to provide awareness, help prevent animal abuse and bullying by demonstrating and teaching love, compassion, and respect for life.
By establishing a program that serves low-income families, the elderly and disabled individuals, we bring the communities and animals together for a life of harmony through love and compassion for all.

Spay & Neuter
Millions of pets are euthanized in US shelters year. Even with more people choosing to adopt rather than buy, there is simply not enough homes for all the animals. While ten thousand humans are born every day, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. The only way to keep the pet population under control is for owners to spay and neuter their pets.

If you are as obsessed with the show, My Cat From Hell, as we are, this is really going to get you excited… Bobbi & the Strays submitteda grant application along with the story of our kitty, Sweet Potatoe for a chance to be chosen for the opportunity to work with The Jackson Galaxy Project’s Life-Saving Cat Pawsitive Program–an Innovative Training Program to Increase Cat Adoptions, and WE WERE SELECTED! The Jackson Galaxy Project (JGP), a Signature Program of GreaterGood.org, is a life-saving initiative that introduces positive-reinforcement training to cats in shelters and rescues. Supported by the Petco Foundation and Halo® pet food, this innovative training program for cats aims to increase feline adoption rates and maintain cat “mojo.” |

Jackson Galaxy (star of the television show My Cat from Hell on Animal Planet, and founder of JGP) developed Cat Pawsitive with a team of feline behavior experts. We cannot wait to share more with you as we move forward with this program throughout the spring. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook and stay tuned for updates! |
