Murphy's Kittens

Mission: To take all the stray cats and kittens off the streets of St. Johns County, Florida, provide them with proper veterinary care, and adopt them out to loving, forever homes.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit stray cat sanctuary and adoption program serving Saint Johns County, Florida. We are a very small rescue, run by only two people and a few volunteers, and we receive no funding from the government or local entities.

Murphy’s Kittens is named after a rescue cat from Orlando, Florida, named Murphy. When he was found, he had every health problem under the sun, including a partially self-amputated tail. Despite everything he went through, he is the sweetest, most snuggly man with his rescuers. The real story began when Murphy was introduced to a litter of abandoned kittens. He loved them more than their own mother; he taught them to groom, play, and be social with people.

Inspired by Murphy, we decided to put his talents to work and start Murphy’s Kittens, Inc.

We help in the following ways: Trap, neuter, vaccinate, return ; Veterinary cost assistance ; Cat food bank ; & Sanctuary.

We house approximately 40 permanent residents in our free-roam cat room. On any given day, we have about 80 cats in our care. We are also partnered with Petco Saint Augustine and Petco Durbin Creek, where we house up to 10 cats at a time.
