I got mine from Nik.

The power trannie should be easy to find as it uses the same as the Marshall 50w Plexi but the OT trannie might be a bit harder to find as it is the same as the DC30, so that will take a bit of tracking down.

I don't know but try Hammond or Heyboer but I think with most of these companies they have plenty of Fender and Marshall replacements but other types are harder to find.

I don't know if this is of any help to you, but the Hot Cat 30 uses TDS Trannies
MAINS = TDS 1161
OUTPUT = TDS 1163
CHOKE = TDS 1162

I think you would have to ask Nik about the OT trannie, I have no idea what the CT Ohmage is but I can tell you it needs about 362v.
I had a look on the Hammond site and the only PT that was close to what voltages the Stray Cat uses is  the one for a Vox AC15 290PX.
But I suggest you ask Nik for advise before you purchase any trannies it could save a lot of messing around.

Are you guys talking about the primary Z for the OT of this amp?
It would be about 3.4k.
Are you guys looking at OT's for a Stray Cat build?

I noticed Mercury Magnetics does one for the Ceriatone DC30 which is the same OT as the Stray Cat
