Phoenix's Story

## Meet Phoenix: The Incognito Lovebug <br/>**Status:** Undercover sweetheart.<br/>**Current Vibe:** "I love you, but please don't make sudden movements, I'm sensitive." She was rescued with her buddy Trombone. She is a long haired, brown tabby, and Phoenix is a short haired, black female. Around one year old.<br/>Phoenix is currently treating the rescue like a high-stakes stealth mission. Shes not going to stride across the room and slap you across the face with affection the second you walk in, her confidence is still buffering.<br/>But here is the plot twist: the *second* you step into her personal bubble, the engine starts. She instantly turns into a purring, melting puddle of pure love. She desperately wants to be your best friend; she's just waiting for a formal invitation.<br/>### The Breakdown:<br/> * **The Catch:** You have to make the first move. She's a lady; she doesn't chase.<br/> * **The Timeline:** Highly efficient. She just needs a hot minute to adjust to a new space, not a lifetime.<br/> * **The Reward:** Total, unconditional devotion from a cat who will look at you like you hung the moon.<br/>If you have a little bit of patience and a relatively calm kingdom for her to rule, Phoenix is ready to rise from the ashes of her shyness and become your absolute shadow.<br/><br/>Have you filled out adoption applications, and no one has got back to you? Come visit the kitty hotel filled with six rooms over two spacious floors of super cute free roaming & friendly furballs of all ages, color and personality! Our outdoor cat e o is located on 2nd floor.<br/><br/> If you are interested in meeting any of the cats, please email SOS at saveourstrays.pgh@gmail.com or call/text (best option) Faon @ (412) 863-0064 to arrange your visit. We will get back to you very promptly. The majority of our cats are in one place. The volunteers and I spend a lot of time with the cats, so we know their personalities extremely well. <br/><br/> Do you happen to be looking for a Real Estate agent, one of our main volunteers works for Berkshire Hathaway. Chelsea donates 10% of her commission back to the rescue. Check our Facebook Save Our Strays if you forget and later want her phone number. She is the "PURFECT Relator" Chelsea Dungan @ 412-297-1606. Help save cats while buying or selling a home. <br/><br/> Since 2020, SOS has rescued and adopted more than 1,500 stray cats in the Pittsburgh area. Included in our $225 (going rate/full vetting is expensive) adoption fee is full vetting. It will cost you more money to have everything we have already completed for them done. Adopting from us supports S.O.S and our mission to save cats from neglect, abandonment, hoarding or friendly strays stuck living outside. <br/><br/>All of our cats are spayed/neutered, dewormed, have received Capstar for any flea issues and NEXGUARD COMBO 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(beware large shelters no longer test) and are microchipped which will transfer to you. <br/><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 cats adoption improves multiple cats' lives.<br/><br/> <br/><br/> Email SOS at saveourstrays.pgh@gmail.com or call/text Faon @ (412) 863-0064 to arrange your visit.

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.
