Stray Haven Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization that was founded in St. Louis, Missouri. Stray Haven is dedicated to promoting the health, well-being, and welfare of all cats, domestic, stray, abandoned, and feral. We find loving homes for these animals once they’ve received veterinary care and are deemed healthy and fit for adoption.

Our goal is to educate the public about the companion animal overpopulation issue and help to provide solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals.
