We’re a group of compassionate cat lovers who are making a difference to the lives of Sydney street cats. Responsible Rehoming Organization number: R251000250

Inner City Strays, Inc is a not-for-profit incorporated association and charity comprising of a team of dedicated, passionate volunteers. Our work involves reducing stray numbers by rescuing young kittens and cats from various places around the inner city area of Sydney. We provide them with health checks and necessary veterinary treatments, foster and socialise them, before adopting them out to g

ood homes through respected agencies or veterinary practices. Currently there is an unknown number of cats living on the streets of Sydney that are constantly at risk of being hit by cars and suffer from untreated disease or injury. These cats form colonies which may comprise of just a few felines to quite a large number. Through no fault of their own they are often persecuted by residents, members of the public, local businesses or various government departments that refuse to see them as a living, sentient animal. As we are all volunteers we would love the the support of cat lovers who want to see life-affirming programs implemented. We need tangible contributions; money, volunteers, cat food, foster carers, as well as community legal, veterinary and local business support. We support the internationally recognised ‘Five Freedoms’ of animal welfare:

Freedom from hunger and thirst
Freedom from discomfort
Freedom from pain, injury or disease
Freedom to express normal behaviour
Freedom from fear and distress

As we work on the frontline we can see that as a society we should be taking proactive steps to prevent further suffering & offer care. Our dedicated team makes the lives of these street cats so much better.

Meet Biscuit’s kittens: Patch, Weiss, and Aloy.

Biscuit, a sweet ginger mum, was rescued from a rural pound just hours before she and these tiny kittens were scheduled to be put to sleep.

Despite their rough start, the kittens are now growing stronger every day. With their mum’s love and the care they’re receiving, they’ll soon be ready for their forever homes.

These adorable kittens will, in time, be ready for adoption. If you’d like to arrange a pre-adoption meet and greet, please reach out to us by email ([email protected]) or send us a message!

Please share this post. Sharing this post helps get the word out to more potential adopters, increasing the chances of these kitties finding their forever homes quickly. It also raises awareness, allowing us to rescue and care for even more kitties in need! 🐾❤️

Our little fighter gets bigger each day – Leonardo!

You may recall we had an urgent rescue from a pound to save a kitty who was in a bad way – alone, scared, skin & bones, covered in mites and the start of ringworm. Leonardo needed a second chance in a safe haven to heal and feel safe & loved.

Drumroll… Leonardo is putting on weight and just made 1kg! Whilst the mites are under control, the ringworm is very hard to manage and highly contagious between cats. Ringworm is a contagious fungal skin infection in cats that causes hair loss, inflamed skin etc. Whilst it’s serious, it’s treatable. Little L is in the best possible hands with his devoted foster carer with the daily baths, daily washing of all bedding, blankets, and medication. Despite the ongoing challenges with ringworm, it’s great to know that he is responding well to treatment and very happy. Whilst we have a friend for him, he must be kept isolated.

We can’t wait to hear more about his progress as he continues to grow into the gorgeous, energetic kitty he’s meant to be.

Chips aka Koko has come a long way from his days wandering the streets. Just look at him and his gorgeousness—his stunning ginger fur practically glows, and beneath that cautious exterior beats a heart longing for love. With patience and kindness, Chips is ready to believe that miracles do happen.

Could you be the one to show him what a real home feels like? He’s ready to leave his past behind and shine like the treasure he’s always been.

Chips lives with another cat and enjoys the simple things, like sitting by the window and watching the birds outside. It’s his favorite peaceful pastime.

Chips is located in the Eastern Suburbs and is 11 months young.

Meet Pear and Pineapple 🍐🍍

Life didn’t start out easy for these two sweet brothers. After losing their mom far too soon, Pear and Pineapple (tabby) were taken in by the gentle and nurturing Nella, who cared for them as if they were her own. With her love and the support of their amazing foster carer, they’ve blossomed into happy, playful kittens full of love and hope.

These boys have been each other’s source of comfort and joy through life’s ups and downs. Now, they’re ready for a forever home. Could your family be the one to give these sweet brothers their happy ending?

Pear and Pineapple are up for adoption. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet, please reach out to us by email ([email protected]) or send us a message!

⭐️Truffles is on an adoption trial!

What a heartwarming story for Truffles. After 1.5 years of love, patience, and care with Inner City Strays, it’s so wonderful that Truffles is on an adoption trial, with the hopes of finding her fur-ever home. The dedication of her foster carers and the love from her new family will help make this second chance possible. It's also heartening to know that Truffles has found a family who understands her journey and is willing to give her the time and space to adjust. We hope this trial leads to a beautiful, lasting bond with her new family and the doggo who’s besotted by her!

Sending lots of positive energy and crossed paws for Truffles' happy ending. There are some kitties who are extra special, and it’s the long termers who we hold deeply in our hearts. We love you, Truffles!

Meet Ms Ziggy, a charming little kitten with a heart as warm as her soft, sun-kissed coat. She’s playful, curious, and always the first to start a purring symphony when she’s happy—which is pretty much all the time!

Ms Ziggy loves chasing toys, exploring new places, and curling up for snuggles when she’s ready to relax. She’s also wonderfully social, playing endlessly with her brothers, Zog and Hank, and showing sweet affection toward her older foster buddy, Pickles.

With her sparkling eyes and irresistible personality, Ms Ziggy is ready to fill your home with joy, purrs, and endless love. We’d love for her to be adopted into a home with another social kitten or cat so she can continue to share her sweet, playful spirit. Could she be the perfect addition to your family?

Welcome onboard to this sweetheart!

Yes we are full. Yes we are at capacity. But look at this girl! She needs help and we couldn’t turn her away.

At this stage we do not know what’s going on with her leg. It could be a congenital deformity, lack of nutrition, a break. We booked her a vet appointment before we even had her. vet hospital scheduled her in for first thing Monday 🙏

Kittens with handicaps don’t survive the streets. They are the last to be adopted from pounds.

Santa is real, along with the Tooth Fairy & Easter Bunny!

Our hearts are overflowing with Xmas joy as we celebrate a true miracle, made possible by the incredible support from the Balmain Vet Hospital.

In the spirit of the season, has gone above and beyond in continuing supporting Inner City Strays and the precious cats we care for. Their unwavering dedication and generosity have made this Xmas extra special, spreading joy not only to the families & pets they care for but also to ICS, who need funding for care and medical support, especially with the current overwhelming kitten season. We are contacted daily by pounds, vets, and the public.

Thanks to Balmain Vet & the kind donations, we can continue providing second chances from vaccinations and desexing to much-needed urgent medical attention. Balmain Vet has been a supporter for many years (along with so many other amazing vets). It’s the kind of magic that makes this season truly unforgettable—a Xmas miracle that brings hope and healing to those who need it most.

Donations are made at Balmain Vet for ICS and are placed on a Christmas tree, symbolizing the generosity and compassion that fuel our mission.

On behalf of all the rescue cats, we send our deepest thanks to Balmain Vet for being such an amazing partner in this paw-mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats. Together, we are making the world a kinder, more compassionate place for kitties.

This is Biscuit and her kittens, Patch, Weiss and Aloy.

Biscuit, a sweet ginger mum cat who was rescued from a rural pound just in time. She and her tiny kittens were hours away from being put to sleep, but the pound granted us an extension, giving them a second chance.

Biscuit was heartbreakingly thin at just 2.6kg, with a belly full of tapeworms, and her kittens were also severely underweight—one especially so. Despite her struggles, Biscuit is incredibly affectionate and very vocal, as though she’s telling her story.

Now safe, Biscuit and her kittens are receiving the care they desperately need. With time and love, they’ll have the chance to thrive and find their forever homes.

This clever, gentle soul is still a bit shy and prefers to operate on his own terms. But with patience, understanding, and a forever home, Alfie is sure to bloom into a devoted companion, ready to “help” with all your projects.

It’s kitten season! And our kitties need toys! As all our hard donated cash goes in vet bills and nutritious food - it leaves our kitties short of toys! We try and give all our kittens toys they can take to their new homes with them. This means we are constantly needing tunnels, wand toys, balls, interactive games and tents! If your cat is fed up with their current toys and expecting some newbies from Santa - please consider donating their old toys to us! We have drops in Marrickville, Erskineville, Crows Nest, Belrose and Rozelle.

Rescue alert! Rescue work is filled with moments of anguish, and for our ginger mum and her kittens, time had already run out. In an act of compassion, the rural pound extended their stay just for us. This extension gave us time to rescue this ginger mum and her kittens, just before it was too late. The videos were taken after their rescue, as they were about to be transported to a foster carer. Without that last chance, they might not have made it at all.

Kiki's journey is a heartwarming tale of resilience & love. Abandoned on the streets, her future seemed uncertain until ICS came to her rescue. We ensured she received a full health check and was desexed, setting the stage for her new beginning. Placed in a foster home, Kiki was introduced to a world of kindness and socialization (along with foster sister, Fergie), which helped her blossom into a confident and affectionate kitty. Her foster dad, who played a crucial role in her transformation, misses her but takes comfort in knowing she has found a furever family that loves her. Now, in her new home, Kiki purrs with contentment, a testament to the compassion and a second chance that changed her life. #adoptdontshop #Innercitystrays #rescue
