Stray Cats: Name Ideas for Stray or Rescued Cats

Are you looking for that perfect cat name that just fits your kitty? Naming a cat can be difficult. One way many pet owners do it is to look for a name that goes with their cat’s personality, physical characteristics, or how you them? For example, was your kitty a stray?

Here are some name ideas for cats that were strays or rescued. Many strays are named for the street or location where they were found. For example, I know a kitty named “Main Street” and another cat named “Belmont.” because he was found wandering in Belmont County. Another common trend is naming your cat by the day of the week when they were found - I know a cat named “Tuesday” that was found on a Tuesday.

I hope this list gives you some ideas or helps you find the perfect name for your cat!
