Burmese kittens & cats in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Meet Piadora! When Pia's owner, who rescued her from the streets of Oakland, passed away last year, she was left with nowhere to go. Over the past 5 months in foster, she's come a long way. At the beginning, Pia would hide in the deepest parts of her foster home, only venturing out at night or to eat. Lots of trust-building and slow socialization has brought her out of her shell and into the open. Though she is still wary of some strangers and loud noises, she warms up quickly and even runs to the door when she sees her fosters approaching. She loves to come into the bedroom in the morning to cuddle and lay on her fosters' chests and gives kisses and head nudges to anyone who is kind to her. Like a lot of cats, she wants to be picked up on her own terms and will gently let you know when it's too much. Pia, being a senior kitty, is pretty relaxed... until her catnip banana toy comes out and her playfulness shows! Important to note: Pia had stomatitis some time ago and she came into foster with no teeth. Her fosters only feed her wet food but could be introduced to dry food. She was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. With medication, her thyroid levels have moved into normal range and can easily be managed. Piadora is around 7.5 years old, spayed, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

This is Boots! My family has had him for 10 years, with him solely living with my grandfather for the past 8 years. He is around 10/11 years old, so he is a senior cat. Recently he’s been having some behavioral issues. He has been biting and scratching more without being provoked so beware if you have small children. He has also been marking in places near his litter box. Unfortunately, my grandfather is moving back to his hometown in Mexico, which means we have to give Boots to a new family since I’m already occupied with a dog and cat. Please feel free to contact me.

NOW YOU DID IT! You found a cat rescue that’s unique and fun to visit too! We do some really BIG things for the community cats in Pittsburgh. It is an awesome place to come and see if your next kitty cat is here, patiently waiting for you. SAM is with my friend in Butler County. We will exchange phone numbers and you can gladly discuss where to meet which could also be Pet Smart in the North Hills. She describes him as her baby doll. Super soft, friendly. Sam makes her smile. The rescue is on the 2nd & 3rd floors of my big Pittsburgh home (I reside on the 1st floor). Set up an appointment to come and visit by calling or text FAON @ 412-863-0064. I will show you all the cats and then you/yours can go around and visit with them. Feed them a Churu or two, they love company. Once the adults are vetted and tested/vaccinated- we let them free roam. There is a large, outside CAT E O where some enjoy to layout outside. There is also plenty of room inside for a good cat nap. Be sure to look around, spend time with them. We always have cats in a wide variety of age/personalities. Don't forget to visit the one in the corner, those cats need a chance and will blossom in a calmer environment (and are often the best cats). “Feel their soul” if you would and see if it pairs to yours. If you fall in love here, great. If not, no hard feelings. Most people say it was hard to choose. We changed the cat’s life by rescuing them. Now they need rescued one last time…..could you be that person? We hope so. All the cats come rescued are from outside, neglect, poverty, or were left somewhere purposely or just needed to be found. This is really an AMAZING process. Come see why Save Our Strays has adopted out over 1000 cats in 4.5 years. We use some of our profits to TNR (trap, neuter, release) countless strays that are too unsocial for a home but desperately need altered. By spay and neutering them, they can live a healthier life & we help decrease the number of outside domestic cats. Adopting from Save Our Strays helps to support that. A little about me and SOS. I rescue and live with the cats, so I am very familiar with them and their background. I have three amazing women that volunteer here. They help to make this drastic change in the cat’s life possible. We do all that we can here for the cats. Often, we are complimented on how clean everything is. We use stainless steel litter pans and bowls, that are disinfected daily. We feed Purina Pro Plan (kitten)and a canned breakfast with a probiotic. All the cats are dewormed, given Capstar for fleas, have at least one/two FVRCP vaccines, rabies, ear mite treated (if needed), and microchipped. All included in the adoption fee. If you have done the long cat application and then no one gets back to you, or the cats already adopted by the time they do, then yinz should check us out. We have same day adoptions. I do not have a long application process. I ask that you are allowed to have a cat where you live and are financially able to afford their care. I ask that you not declaw that cat and if they get sick take them to the doctor. Give the cat time to slowly adjust, one last time to their new environment, so it’s a pleasant experience for all.
