PEDRO's Story

Meet Pedro, the six-year-old son of Queen Blanca and the guy who officially won the "Most Patient Cat in Verona" award. While his mom was running the show, Pedro was just sitting there, suitcase packed, waiting for his ride to a better life.<br/><br/>The Intel:<br/>The Background: Spent six years in a hoarding house, which is about six years too many. He was the one literally waiting by the door to be rescued.<br/><br/>The Personality: 100% "Happy to Be Here." He’s super friendly, incredibly grateful, and has a vibe that says, "I don’t miss my old roommates at all."<br/><br/>The Connection: He’s Blanca’s son, but he’s ready to be your best friend.<br/><br/>Why Pedro is a Catch:<br/>Pedro is at the perfect age—he’s past the "climbing your curtains" kitten phase but has plenty of energy for a good play session and a lot of love for a long nap. He’s transitioned from "one of many" to "one in a million" and he is absolutely soaking up the one-on-one attention.<br/><br/>He’s friendly, he’s easygoing, and he’s ready to trade his chaotic past for a quiet future with you.<br/><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/><br/> If you’re interested in meeting PEDRO, email SOS at saveourstrays.pgh@gmail.com or call/text (412) 863-0064 to arrange your visit.<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 don’t overlook the shy wallflower who keeps glancing your way—introverts 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.” You’ll know the right cat—sometimes you choose and sometimes they choose you. <br/><br/> Since 2020, SOS has rescued and adopted more than 1,000 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, you’re doing more than giving a cat a good home. You’re also helping those stray cats who cannot be homed. One cat’s 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
Please give your new pet TIME. It can take up to 3 weeks for even the most social cat to get used to their new home. Have one room set up for your new kitty, with limited spaces to hide. You can add a cardboard box and a blanket, for a guaranteed go to spot. DO NOT free feed your kitty. Feed 3 small meals (or two) a day and you bring in the food to them. Most cats LOVE canned cat food. So maybe half a canned and some quality dry food, is an good meal. Followed by some play time before or after, makes the new one very happy. You can add lysine powder or Forta Flora for additional nutrients. DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CAT. There are nail caps you can put on them(or have a vet do so) that work really well. They do not like them, but will get used to them. So use this as a last resort. Cats like to climb. Make sure you have enough “things” to entertain them. Take your cat to the vet at least once per year for checkups and vaccines. If your cat seems sick, injured, or is displaying behavioral issues- seek veterinary care IMMEDIATELY. Animal Friends has wellness appointments for $50 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 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 will stimulate and entertain them while also helping to prevent unwanted behaviors. Never attempt to punish a cat. They will only learn to be fearful of you. Instead- redirect their attention with toys and play.
