My Story
TOBY and GATSBY are polydactly (6 fingered),10 months/1 yr old brothers with a huge extra thumb. The other thing is they need you to have faith like their caretaker does, that these two are going to blossom into the most amazing companion animals but first they will need you. The one brother will purrrrrr,loves his belly rubbed and wants to be loved really really bad, but he is on the scared side. The other brother is scared and will let me cuddle him and hold him but he would prefer to be on the cat tree looking at my like "WTF lady is this place, I am not in Clairton any more-am I". They both have MAJOR potential. I do think they need someone who has had a cat beforerry and some time to put into them at first. They are very handsome and so unique- and theres TWO. One needs the other so I can not separate these two buds.
If you are tired of the long, invasive cat applications, and the cat is either gone or nobody gets back to you ........ call or text or respond to this ad. You will not have that same issue here.
Although some free advice. Once you adopt your cat, take them to a checkup. Do a stool sample & make sure they do a temperature check. Any cat that you get from anywhere, could use another set of eyes on them. From ear mites - to who knows what. Do your new baby a favor. Sets things up for success.
If you are interested in coming to visit the cats, please call & leave a voicemail or send a text .412 863 0064. I do not have a long application process but, I do ask that you are able to have a cat where you live and financially able to afford one. If so, just call and talk to me to set up an appointment to meet n greet the kitties. I live with them so I get to know each one very well, although a lot of this is using your gut feeling. I am always available with any questions you might have, even down the road.
,,,,,,A little bit about me, is my rescue is on the 2nd-3rd floors of my Pittsburgh home. Once I get the cats fully vetted, I let most of them be free to play and snuggle as they please. So, if you want to come and visit call, text or email. Picking a companion animal is easier in person, then it is from a photo. I tell the truth about the cats back story, their personalities, and only place them with families that I feel it will work well for both parties. If you come here and fall in love and adopt GREAT, if you don't-that is ok too. What is meant to be, will be.
TOBY & GATSBY are fully vetted. That means THEY WILL NOT NEED ANYMORE VETTING - neutered, dewormed, -2 vaccines for FVRCP ,rabies vaccine, combo tested (-/-) for FeLV & FIV and microchipped.
If you are on Tik Toc follow us @saveourstrays.pgh and see some of the amazing rescues we have done and follow to see who we save next!
Every cat here available for adoption is always very unique in their own way but, has suffered trauma before coming here. It is the backstory of every cat that has been rescued. They were abruptly taken from their "home" and put with other cats they did not know, quickly finding themselves in a strange place and that's stressful. I think of it like you move to Florida, but no one told you ahead of time you just had to up and leave. Some act one way here but, will be a totally different cat once in a stable, quieter setting. Please understand it takes the cat time to adjust after they get adopted. Once the cat is familiar with your routine and will blossom into your favorite little buddy- I saved them once now they need someone else to save them one last time.... could it be you? We hope it is !!!
*********WE WILL NOW BE AT THE NORTH HILLS PET SMART ADOPTION CENTER ON SOME WEEKENDS (mostly Saturdays 11:30-2pm)AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS*INQUIRE TODAY TO COME HERE OR THERE************
Vetting fees have also gone up a lot, just like everything else. The little bit of money we make off of adoptions goes right back into the mix to help the next stray in need. Off of the adult cats we break even most of the time, if we are lucky. I do not get the funding like the big nonprofits so adopting from me supports what I do..... pull theses helpless cats from the streets of Pittsburgh, get them fully vetted and into loving homes. The other big names take cats from inside of homes, I give the other ones outside, still in the trenches a chance.
Save Our Strays uses some of our profits and donations to get surgeries done for cats that have no one to pay to get them spayed/neutered (TNR). Our first three years we sterilized over 100 community cats, and adopted out over 1000 cats, preventing a TON of them from being born outside. Come see why others think we have something cute to show you. If its ok weather out our large CAT-EO is open, where the cats love to sit and watch the birds.
ADOPTION FEE IS FOR BOTH
