Winter

FOR ADOPTION: Winter (The Accidental Tourist)<br/>Meet Winter. He was living the rugged bachelor life in the North Hills until a kind human decided he looked far too handsome for a life of "roughing it."<br/><br/>Now, he’s experiencing a bit of a culture shock. Imagine you thought you were going on a relaxing solo camping trip, but you woke up in a crowded hostel where everyone wants to touch your face and talk about your feelings. That’s Winter right now.<br/><br/>The Stats:<br/>The Look: Stunning markings and a face that could launch a thousand "Pspspsps" (Seriously, he’s a model).<br/><br/>The Status: Fully "Vetted" (Vaccines, tests, and a fancy ear-tip—the universal sign for "I’ve been around the block, but I’m a gentleman now").<br/><br/>The Vibe: Shy, sensitive, and currently wondering where the room service menu is.<br/><br/>What he needs:<br/>Winter isn't looking for a party animal. He’s looking for a patient roommate who understands that trust is earned, not demanded. He’s a "diamond in the rough" who just needs a quiet corner and a human who won’t take it personally if he acts a little overwhelmed at first.<br/><br/>If you have a big heart and a quiet home, you could be the one to show Winter that indoor life is way better than the North Hills woods.<br/><br/>Ready to be Winter’s "person"? Come meet this beautiful boy and give him the chance he deserves.<br/><br/>Would you like me to help you draft a specific list of "Interview Questions" for potential adopters to ensure he finds the perfect low-stress home?<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 WINTER, 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
