Vinton Volunteers Rescue Stray Cats | Roanoke News

In Vinton, a dedicated group of volunteers has been rescuing and caring for 20-25 stray cats living in a vacant house for the past two months—down from an initial 50. Facing serious health issues like blindness, respiratory illness, and skin infections, the cats have earned quirky nicknames like “One Eye Joe” and “Wobbles.” After local animal control fell short, the team created a Facebook group to rally support and even secured permission from the property owner to care for them—on the condition they find homes. While some cats have already found loving foster families and are thriving, others still need medical help and permanent placements. With the local shelter overwhelmed by its own outbreak, the volunteers urgently need community help—even just a few cats at a time—to get the rescue moving forward.
