My name is Holtzy!

Meet Holtzy 

Named after legendary coach Lou Holtz—and just like his namesake, this boy is all about heart, loyalty, and being the ultimate teammate.

Holtzy is a gorgeous orange long-haired male, estimated to be around 2 years old. He was found outside by a kind good Samaritan who reached out to Paws Across Pittsburgh for help, and we’re so glad they did—because this sweet boy is a total all-star.

Despite the reputation orange cats sometimes get for chaos, Holtzy is more like the calm, dependable team captain. He is incredibly sweet, social, and gentle. His favorite play is simple: walk right up to you, lean in for pets, and start that loud, happy purr. He truly just wants to be near his people and soak up love.

 Holtzy’s scouting report:

• Personality: Sweet, affectionate, calm

• Social skills: Very people-friendly and likely to do well with other cats thanks to his laid-back personality

• Favorite activity: Pets, attention, and being near his humans - he is a total lap cat! 

• Age: ~2 years old

• Coat: Fluffy orange perfection

Because Holtzy spent time outdoors before coming into rescue, his luxurious coat could use a little spa day. Once he is two weeks post-neuter, he’ll be ready for a good grooming to freshen up his fur and help with some mild oil buildup on his tail.

With a little time, love, and a good grooming session, Holtzy will be feeling and looking like the champion he was born to be. 

If you’re looking for a loyal teammate who will always be in your corner, Holtzy may just be your MVP. Bring this sweet boy home and you’ll have a Fighting Irish–level champion of companionship.

Holtzy is neutered, microchipped, flea/tick/ear mite treated, and negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworm.  He will be available for adoption on or after 3/17/2026 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144, KL #16182.
