Safer at Home - Keeping Pets and People Together When it Matters Most

Our new Safer at Home Fund is a resource for our community members facing financial hardships as a result of COVID-19.

It is designed to provide those who are unable to care for their pets due to loss of income with an alternative to surrendering their animal to a shelter. We have partnered with Pet Food Warehouse, Operation: SNIP, and SPOT: Spay & Neuter to provide pet supplies and veterinary care at no cost to Saint Petersburg residents who are out of work due to COVID-19.

Those in need of financial assistance can apply for aid on our website. Our staff will review all submissions and distribute vouchers based on individual needs to be redeemed at our partner locations. The Safer at Home Fund provides vouchers for the following goods and services: Cat and dog food, cat litter, Flea & tick preventative, annual exams, spay/neuter surgery, core vaccines, and de-wormer.

If you are looking for a way to help animals, please make a donation to our Safer at Home Fund. Let’s keep pets and people together when it matters most.

About us

Friends of Strays Animal Shelter is St. Petersburg’s oldest no kill animal shelter. Founded in 1978, our top priority is to connect animals in need of rescue with people who will love them. With thousands of cats and dogs entering our shelter every year, Friends of Strays’ staff and volunteers provide the utmost love and care for every animal that comes through our doors. Through our outreach, advocacy, and services we strive to ensure that animal companionship is accessible to all. In addition to pet adoption, we seek to create a better world for pets and people by focusing on life saving programs promoting pet retention, community empowerment, and humane pet ownership education. Friends of Strays receives no government funding, and our lifesaving success is only possible by the support of friends like you. Please consider an individual, business or planned giving gift to provide compassionate care to pets and the people who love them. We realize that our efforts on behalf of the animals would not be possible without you by our side.
