Story
Lynx is a shy and sweet cat. Sure of herself, she'll be cautious until she's sure she can trust you. She isn't particularly motivated by treats, but once she trusts and likes you, she's happy to hop up next to you and ask for attention. She might take a few weeks to warm up, but this lovely girl is well worth the wait.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lady Gaga is a quiet and gentle cat who, after living a rough life before being rescued, appreciates patience and softness from her caretakers. She enjoys being close to people and loves cuddles on her own terms, rather than being picked up. When she wants affection, she may gently and repetitively paw for attention or lie on her back with her belly up to let you know she’s ready for cuddles. Due to a minor leg issue that appears to be from an old injury, Lady Gaga generally prefers a more laid back lifestyle over running and jumping. She would love a home that lets her set the pace, where she will offer a sweet and calm presence and adorable little snores while she sleeps.

Thresher

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr
Pittsburgh, PA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Thresher charms everyone at first sight with her wide, inquisitive eyes. She is an energetic and playful kitty who loves to jump, climb, and explore every nook and cranny. She likes to hang around her human with the hope that she can rope you into a game of fetch with a toy mouse—bounding after a mouse thrown across the room is her favorite thing ever! You might even find random toys and objects turn up on your bed after she’s done playing with them, as a friendly offering. Thresher enjoys pets and being in close proximity to people but doesn’t sit still for very long. Instead of climbing into your lap, she prefers to walk back and forth in front of you while you pet her, sometimes even standing up on her hind legs to bump her head against your hand. She is curious and fascinated by other cats and would love to have another cat friend to follow around and wrestle with. Bright-eyed, clever, and sometimes a bit mischievous, she is also very sweet. At the end of the day, she dutifully follows her person to bed and settles down nearby. She’s not one to cuddle, but she may reach out a paw to touch you while she’s sleeping. Thresher would do well in a home with lots of opportunity for her to roam and play, but she is also great at entertaining herself, whether it’s chirping at birds outside, pouncing on her own tail, or scaling and balancing atop a scratching post.

Story
Frangelica is a shy and sweet kitty. She came to us as a tiny semi-feral kitten who has blossomed through the dedicated work and attention of our volunteers. Still a bit shy and wary, she prefers to hide around new people but does come out once she feels comfortable with you. She's always willing to accept treats and is even happy to receive pets if you're feeding her too! Frangelica would need to go home with a kitty friend to help her acclimate and feel comfortable in a new space.

Piadora

American Shorthair

Female, 7 yrs 6 mos
Pittsburgh, PA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
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.

Story
Waffles is a kind and gentle soul that is looking for a quiet environment to call home. She loves playing with feathers on strings in between snoozin' and treats. She is very loving and chatty as well, and will weave between your legs for some pets. She does not do well with more dominant cats in a household as she gets scared and reclusive.

Story
I received my cat when he was 2 months. I trained him and he knows how to sit and spin on command. He’s a fun, active boy — but loves his down time. I can no longer take care of him, so I want to give him a loving family who can provide what I can’t. Upon adoption you will receive all his belongings if desired.
