Community Action to Save Strays (CATSS)

Community Action to Save Strays (CATSS) A Trap-Neuter-Return organization in Oberlin that also finds homes for friendly stray cats & kittens

CATSS currently serves the city of Oberlin, Ohio and clients living within the Oberlin City Schools District. CATSS has been extremely successful in reducing the cat population in Oberlin. However, many of the calls we receive come from the communities of Lorain, Elyria, and Wellington. We do not currently have the resources to serve these areas. Please understand that we cannot assist individuals or cats outside of our defined territory.

A special message from foster mum accompanied this stunning photo:
"Raya cuddling on me. Head resting on my hand"

Raya is such a beautiful and super loving cat queen. She has long lustrous fur that she loves to have brushed, and THE sweetest personality. She will rub her face up against your hand, your legs, and even your face! Then she will take a turn majestically lounging by the window before coming back for more love.
Raya was fixed when she came to us so she clearly had a loving home at one point and so dearly wants one again. She does not seem to love other cats and is scared of her toddler foster sister, but in the right home, we know she will be the best and most loving companion.

Raya is FIV/FeLV negative and has been vaccinated. Contact [email protected] to meet her.

“He's the perfect kitty. He's just not a snuggler, but that's ok!”

Update on Kylo from foster home shows just how kind and generous this sweet kitty is. He shares with his foster family members.

Kylo is up to date on vaccinations, has been neutered, tested negative, plus is perfectly litter box trained and just a delight to have around.

If you can, please do share Kylo's latest update as he would love to have his very own forever and ever home. Can we make this happen for Kylo ?

Meet Scout! Scout is the funniest little guy. Look at those ears! Now get a close up view of those stunning eyes - they don't miss anything that's happening. And the nose is ready for kisses or a friendly "boop"

What do we know! Scout has been pulling at the heart-strings of his foster parent. We know, we know. Being a foster parent to a kitty as charming as Scout is difficult but we do want to find just the perfect forever home.

Here's what foster parent had to report "Here is Scout. He is about 6 months old, healthy and happy. Always playing except when he’s curled up in my lap, purring. The most adorable and affectionate little guy who greets me happily and follows me all over. Some lucky family is going to love this beautiful little guy! "

The details: Scout is UTD on vet visits, has been tested - negative, and is fixed. So, if you are looking for a "looker", Scout may be the ideal kitten for you. Give CATSS a jingle and ask to meet this sweet funny boy.

Need more purring in your life?

First TNR of 2025, with special shoutout to Lucas, one of our board members, for getting this injured feral. ****If you’re interested in helping out with TNR ( and we can really use the help!), there will be opportunities coming up, especially once the weather gets warmer. The cat had minor injuries - was treated for superficial injuries, neutered and given a rabies vaccine before being released (don’t worry- the property owners have been taking care of him). Check oit the video in the comments ! Thank you Lorie A. Wilber and Partners With Paws Of Lorain County, Inc. for your help with this too! #trapneuterreturn #feralcats #catsoffacebook
