PATCHES's Story

Patches came here as a quiet little girl that would just sit in the crate and stare at you. She was rescued by one of our main volunteers Miss Suzan. She resides in West View and Patches came to her backyard along with her twin sister. We rescued her first and then her sister, even though it seemed like they had the same parents, her sister was not friendly & making Patches act the same way. So, we had to make the tough decision to put Stuffing back at Miss Suzans for her to take care of. Slowly, Patches started to show her true colors. She is now one of the main girls to greet us. She will rub along your legs and tell you that she loves you in her way. That little girl is absolutely adorable. Meet her and I know youll fall in love. She really loves the male cats here, and would be an excellent friend/girlfriend to a friendly male cat.<br/><br/> If youre interested in meeting PATCHES, please email SOS at saveourstrays.pgh@gmail.com or call/text (412) 863-0064 to arrange your visit.<br/><br/><br/>During your visit, feel free to spend time with the cat you want to meet, but also take a look around. We always have cats with a wide variety of ages, coat patterns/lengths, and personalities. High energy antics? You bet. Couch potatoes? Check. Sweet, purring snugglers? Roger that. And please dont overlook the shy wallflower who keeps glancing your wayintroverts need love too. Often times, a cat is simply overwhelmed with their new rescue<br/>environment and will blossom in a calmer home environment. Spend some time with our cats, watch them interact with each other and with you, and get their vibe. Youll know the right catsometimes you choose and sometimes they demand to be yours. We constantly have cats that are shy in the shelter but go home and adapt very quickly to their family.<br/><br/> Are you tired of filling out the long applications? Did no one get back to you? If they did, was the cat was already adopted? We do things the way we want to here at Save Our Strays. I was told no to adopting a cat before, from a very big rescue for a foolish reason. I know how you feel and all the BS some of those applications ask. We are all adults; I will tell you all my same spiel I tell everyone else, if you adopt from us. Do not declaw your cat, if the cat is sick- have enough money to take them to the vet. If you ever need me, call me. We talk to you and ask questions ourselves and we know the cats well. If we think it is not going to work out, we will let you know. Everyone who is able and willing, deserves the companionship of a cat. It's an art that we have purfected here! <br/><br/><br/> Since 2020, SOS has rescued and adopted more than 1,400 stray cats in the Pittsburgh area. Included in our adoption fee is full vetting. All of our cats are dewormed, have received Capstar for any flea issues and Selamectin for any parasites, received two FVRCP vaccines as well as their rabies vaccine, are treated for ear mites (if needed), are combo tested for FeLV and FIV, and are microchipped which will transfer to you. Once the adult cats are fully vetted and vaccinated, they freely roam across two floors and (Pittsburgh weather permitting...) also spend time in an outside Catio to soak up the sunshine.<br/>We also have a free-roaming room for the fully vetted kittens to play, run, and practice their fancy acrobatics and sideways kitten shuffles.<br/><br/> SOS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our adoption fee, along with donations, allow us to tend to our rescued cats in the manner in which they deserve: fully vetted and fully cared for. We also allocate funds to continue TNR (trap, neuter, and release) efforts for all of the strays who are too unsocialized and human-adverse for an indoor home. By spaying/neutering, these<br/>cats live a healthier life and no longer contribute to increasing the stray cat population.<br/><br/> When you adopt a cat from SOS, youre doing more than giving a cat a good home. Youre also helping those stray cats who cannot be homed. One cats adoption improves multiple cats lives.<br/><br/> About SOSs Founder: Faon traps, rescues, and gives shelter to the SOS cats; they reside on the upper two floors of her home which have been modified to best meet the cats needs. She is extremely knowledgeable about each cat in her care and is happy to assist you finding the one who best matches your lifestyle and your home. She, along with a small team of dedicated women volunteers, work with SOS cats who have been rescued from a wide range of outside scenarios (some being outright deplorable) and transform them through veterinary care, socialization and behavioral work, and a whole lot of love into happy, healthy, and thriving cats.<br/><br/> Email SOS at saveourstrays.pgh@gmail.com or call/text (412) 863-0064 to arrange your visit.<br/><br/> Your new best friend is waiting for you

Save Our Strays, Inc's Adoption Policy
Always provide adequate food, water (at all times) and a clean litter box for your cat. Keep your cat inside. Cats that are allowed to roam outside can contract fleas or feline carried diseases. They can be seriously injured fighting with other cats, caught in a trap and get their ear tipped or worst of all be killed when hit by a car. Provide enrichment for your cat. Cats need to scratch, chase, hunt, hide, and play. Provide scratching posts, toys, boxes, play-time and other items designed for a cat that will stimulate and entertain them while also helping to prevent unwanted behaviors.
