I have written before about a stray cat - I'm not sure if I attract them or not, but this is a new one! There is a stray cat in my neighborhood (8th and Bainbridge) that I've been feeding for about a month now.
She is adorable - a small (about 5-6 pounds) fluffy yellow/orange color with yellow eyes. She was skittish at first but is now VERY friendly. Unfortunately I already have two cats and a very small house, so I can't adopt another.
Has anyone lost a cat of this description? No collar, and appeared amidst my container plants, looking starved, in late May/early June.
I would love to find her a good home because she is a beautiful and friendly cat.

Is she a tabby??

Hmm....I don't think so, but I'm not sure what the exact description of a tabby is.
She's a medium long hair - a mix of white and orange, with a very fluffy tail and yellow eyes.
She is the most sweet-tempered cat I've ever come into contact with.

Get her spayed, if you can. Just feeding strays = more strays on your block to deal with later this summer or in the fall. A $40 certificate from Morris Animal Refuge will get you a free spay/neuter at Girard Vet Clinic or a discounted spay/neuter at other local vets. Or if you qualify for their income guidelines, check out: www.thespayedclub.org

Thanks. I've learned my lesson about feeding strays - I will just take them to the shelter immediately in the future!
She is actually getting spayed tomorrow, but I wish I had known about the discount possibility earlier - I've already dropped her off and paid!
Since you knew about the spaying, do you know anything about no-kill shelters in the area?

Great! Glad to hear she'll be fixed. Are you planning to foster her yourself?

Alas, there is no such thing as a no-kill shelter in Philly. The stray population is just too big and the shelters too poorly funded. There are a handful of no-kill rescues in the area (networks of foster homes), but speaking as someone very involved with the rescue community, they are generally 100% full during the summer. That means all the foster homes have cats in them already and can't take another, but the recues may sometimes help you advertise if they can, or give you some resources to do it yourself.

Good luck!
