Mayoi Neko Overrun! (迷い猫オーバーラン!, Mayoi Neko Ōbāran!^?, Stray Cat Overrun!) is a Japanese light novel series by Tomohiro Matsu, with illustrations by Peco. Twelve volumes have been published by Shueisha under their Super Dash Bunko imprint. A manga adaptation by Kentaro Yabuki started serialization in the shōnen manga magazine Jump Square on January 4, 2010. In this adaptation, many characters from Yabuki's previous manga, To Love-Ru, make cameo appearances. An anime adaptation started airing on April 6, 2010. "Mayoi Neko" translates as "Stray Cats", referring the name of the cafe around which the story develops, and alluding to the orphans and other "stray" characters who collect there. It is also the name of a school club for helping people in the story.

The story revolves around Takumi Tsuzuki who spends his days with his childhood friend Fumino Serizawa at the cafe Stray Cats and with his friends, in the Umenomori academy. One day, his older stepsister Otome brings home a strange girl named Nozomi Kiriya to live with them. And when his other friend Chise Umenomori starts a Stray Cats Club that helps people, Takumi's life is filled with new activities.
