Pittsburgh CAT

📚 MEET PROFESSOR TREVOR 📚
School is back in session, and Professor Trevor is reporting for duty!
At approximately 10 years old, Trevor has spent years perfecting the art of being a cat, and he’s now ready to share his expertise with one very lucky forever family.

Professor Trevor’s areas of expertise include:
📚 Advanced Sunbeam Napping
📚 Catnip & Playtime Studies
📚 Temptations Appreciation
📚 The Art of Being Adorable Without Teeth
📚 Human Training 101
📚 Personal Boundaries: Pet Me Until I Say We’re Done
That last class is mandatory!

Professor Trevor is a VERY handsome black-and-white gentleman with gorgeous blue eyes, no teeth, and enough personality to fill an entire classroom.

He can be incredibly playful, silly and entertaining. When office hours are over, you’ll find him curled up in a sunny spot enjoying a well-deserved professor nap.

Trevor was previously diabetic but is currently in remission. 🎉 He does have kidney disease and eats prescription canned kidney food. And thanks to a very generous donation, Professor Trevor comes with a ONE-YEAR SUPPLY of his special food! We’re calling that his faculty meal plan. 😂

He cannot have dry food because of his history of diabetes, but he is permitted a couple of Temptations each day. Professor Trevor takes this particular benefit VERY seriously.

Trevor would do best as the only cat in the home, both so he can stick to his special diet and because, quite frankly, Professor Trevor does not need a teaching assistant. 😂

He’s looking for a cat-savvy adopter who understands feline body language. Trevor enjoys being petted, but when he’s had enough, he expects his students to recognize that class has been dismissed. Failure to follow instructions may result in a small disciplinary whack. 😂

Trevor would also be a great cat for someone that may be away from home for longer hours at work. He will be happy when you get home, but won’t be stressed if he’s alone for a while! Respectful and cat savvy kids over 15 would be fine, but no dogs please 💗

Underneath that sassy professor exterior is a funny, playful senior boy who deserves something he’s waited far too long for: a home of his own. ❤️

Professor Trevor has the credentials.
He has tenure.
He has the meal plan.
He has VERY clear classroom rules.
Now he just needs one special student willing to enroll in his favorite course:
❤️ How to Love Trevor Forever 101. ❤️

Applications are now being accepted for Professor Trevor’s forever family. Please share and help him find his perfect home! 🐾

Note: As an adult, Trevor has a reduced adoption fee as part of our Back to School adoption special. Check out the comments for a link to our adoption application!

Got a big test coming up? Studying for the Bar to be the next great defender? Atticus might be the perfect addition to your studying routine! Often found perched in a cat tree or lounging in the quietest corner of the room, like Atticus Finch, this cool, calm, and collected guy brings ease to any courtroom.

Atticus is a large adult silver tabby who loves to be petted and enjoys just hanging out. He’s not a playful kitten, but a dapper adult who would rather sit beside you than chase a feather wand. He is unbothered, unphased, and utterly unimpressed by other cats’ drama. If you need to win him over, crunch treats will do the trick. Other cats may be all talk, but Atticus' closing argument comes with a lot of heart! Atticus would be fine with calm respectful dogs, other cats, or even kids on his defense team.

Atticus is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. If you’re looking for a calm and constant companion. the kind of cat who will stand by you, love you quietly, and never judge, Atticus is your verdict.

Looking for a study buddy who’s always available for a little moral support? Meet Murray, a handsome gray tabby with an adorable little ascot, pretty green eyes, and the softest fur you’ll ever pet. At around 5 years old, Murray has perfected the art of being a quiet, gentle companion, and he’s been waiting far too long for someone to take him home.

Murray would make an excellent study buddy, reading companion, or work-from-home assistant. Pull up a chair, open your laptop or textbook, and Murray will be nearby, ready to keep you company. He’s not going to interrupt your Zoom class, demand that you share your notes, or judge you for procrastinating. He’s much more interested in being petted! Lean down, hold out your hand, and Murray will come trotting over for some affection. His velvety-soft fur makes him especially enjoyable to pet.

Murray spent his early years living outdoors with his siblings and only moved indoors a little over a year ago. Because of this, he can be shy at first and prefers to approach people on his own terms. Sudden movements may send him retreating to his safe spot, but give him time and patience and you’ll discover a truly loving boy. Once Murray decides it’s time for pets, though, class is officially in session! He’s even discovered that wand toys can be pretty fun when someone waves one around for him.

Murray is also a big fan of feline classmates! He absolutely loves other friendly cats and is often found snuggled up with a kitty friend. He would do best in a home with another friendly cat where he can have a built-in companion. His brother Patrick and BFF (best feline friend) Molly are also available if you’re looking for a ready-made study group!

Murray would thrive in a calm, quiet home with adults and possibly teens who understand that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to develop. However, because of his timid nature, he is not suited for a home with dogs or young children.

When Murray was rescued, he had a serious shoulder wound that has completely healed and requires no further care. It did leave him with the most adorable little head tilt — a charming feature that just makes him even more lovable.

Murray is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and fully up-to-date on vaccinations.

If your ideal study buddy has four paws and a talent for making stressful days a little softer, Murray is ready to enroll in your forever family. He’s been waiting almost a year. Isn’t it time this sweet boy finally graduated to a forever home?

Note: As an adult, Murray has a reduced adoption fee as part of our Back to School adoption special (and it's a bigger discount if you adopt him with Molly or Patrick!). Check out the comments for a link to our adoption application!

Is your feline friend lonely? Do they need a companion to spend the long chilly days with? Sweet Pea might be the perfect fit!

Sweet Pea is a 10 year old calico who loves other cats. Old and young, she gets along with them all. Her best friend in her foster home is a 3 year old spunky guy who she likes to wrestle and play with. She is also known to cozy up next to her 10 year old foster sister and bat the other old lady cat, instigating play.

Sweet Pea is always near her foster mom, joining her on the couch to watch TV or read. She'll walk by giving a friendly sniff, but tends to keep going. Even though Sweet Pea might not show her human much affection, she enjoys interactive play with wand and feather toys and even sleeps in her human’s bed! Knowing she doesn't give herself over easily, when she caves to pets and purrs it's all the more rewarding.

Aside from playing with feathers, the sure way to win Sweet Peas heart is through crunchy treats. She might not have any teeth, but she scarfs down the Temptations!

Last year, Sweet Pea developed Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), which is a very rare mutation of a common cat virus. She’s successfully undergone a full round of treatments plus a lengthy period of observation, and she is ready to live a healthy life and start her next chapter. What was once a death sentence is now has an extensive treatment that gives cats a second chance on life!

Sweet Pea is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on all vaccinations. If you have a cat who could use a friend, apply to adopt Sweet Pea!

Note: All of our cats are in foster homes in the Pittsburgh area, so the first step in adopting from us is to fill out an application. Check out the comments for a link!

🍎📚 OUNA IS READY TO GRADUATE TO A FOREVER HOME! 🎓🏡
Ouna has been in foster care for two years, and it’s time for this sweet girl to graduate from foster life and move on to her most important assignment yet… finding her forever family! ❤️

Ouna came to us after being found outside, and she has come SO far. She’s learned that people can be pretty great, toys are VERY fun, Temptations are basically a food group, and watching the world go by from a cozy window is much better than actually living out there. 🥹

Ouna is estimated to be about 3.5 years old. She is sweet, playful and an absolute doll once she gets comfortable. She can be a little nervous with new people and new surroundings, so she’s looking for someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time. Give this girl the chance to settle in and trust you, and you’ll get to see the wonderful Ouna we’ve gotten to know over the last two years. ❤️

Ouna has a little old scarring in her right eye, likely a souvenir from her days before rescue, but it doesn’t cause her any issues. We think it just adds a little extra character to her already adorable face. 🥰

Her perfect home would be on the calmer side. She would be perfectly happy as your one-and-only kitty, or she could share her home with another respectful cat friend. No dogs for Ouna, please, and kids 12+ would be best.

Her favorite subjects include:
🍗 Advanced Temptations Studies
🌿 Catnip Appreciation
🧸 Toy Management
🪟 Professional Window Watching
❤️ Learning to Love Her People

Ouna has spent two years waiting for her turn. We would LOVE nothing more than to see her in her very own home before the holidays this year. 🍂🦃🎄

Maybe the person reading this is the one she’s been waiting for???

Please share Ouna and help us get this girl HOME. ❤️🏡

Note: As an adult, Ouna has a reduced adoption fee as part of our Back to School adoption special. Check out the comments for a link to our adoption application!

Meet Pat, a one-eyed visionary artist! 🎨 Pat is an accomplished emerging artist seeking a new residency opportunity with a human patron who appreciates avant-garde art and having a good time.

Working primarily in toilet paper and cardboard, Pat’s artistic practice is rooted in tactile exploration. He believes no piece of paper should remain untouched and no cardboard box should go unaltered. His creative process is spontaneous, immersive, and occasionally shocking. 😅

But Pat is so much more than his art. He is a sweet, curious, playful little goofball who loves being part of the action. Pat greets his foster mum at the door and wants to be by her side 24/7. He is instantly friendly with everyone he meets, wanting nothing more than to play and cuddle (while purring non-stop the entire time!). He's a total lap cat! Sometimes he gets a little carried away while cuddling and will give a little love nip, and although he doesn't mean any harm, because of this he may not be a good fit for a home with small children.

His unique perspective—literally—comes from seeing the world through one eye, which he considers less a limitation and more a distinctive artistic lens. And while he does *technically* have one eye left, it’s a little damaged and we're not sure how much vision he actually has. Sometimes when he has zoomies he'll run headfirst into something, but maybe that's just performance art.

His ideal residency includes an abundant supply of paper for experimental works, cardboard boxes of varying shapes and dimensions, and a human patron who will support his ongoing creative endeavors while doing their best to appreciate every new piece of art (knowing full well that our human brains will probably never be capable of fully comprehending). In exchange, Pat offers his patrons exclusive access to his studio practice, along with companionship, entertainment, purrs, and cuddles.

Pat would be fine as an only cat, or in a household with cats who keep to themselves. Pat enjoys playing with other cats, but they don't enjoy playing with him! His preferred wrestling intensity is a solid 10/10, and he has very little patience for anyone who wants to play at a lower level. In his foster home, he gets along fine with the senior cats who do their own thing and ignore him, but the younger cats who once wanted to play with him now shy away because Pat has pinned them and made them “tap out” one too many times.

Pat is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV (negative), and up-to-date on all vaccinations. If you're looking for a little more laughter, creativity, and cuddles in your life, Pat may be the kitty for you!

*A little disclaimer here to note that Pat has calmed down a bit with his art since settling into his foster home. Most of his creations were made during his first week adjusting to life in a home (a new experience for him). He has since had ample opportunity to “customize” rolls of toilet paper but has left them alone, preferring play time with people, automatic cat toys, and cuddles. He still does plenty of silly things, but he is not quite the agent of chaos that he once was. The little playful nips he gives during cuddle sessions have also decreased with time and are probably something he does when he's a bit nervous. So please don't pass him by thinking he is completely naughty, because Pat is a good cat. 🖤

Vincent says - “Get your lanes today!”

Vincent wants to know if you'll be joining us at Pins for Purrs on 10/4 with Pittsburgh CAT ?!

Pins for Purrs is one of our main fundraisers of the year and helps support cats at the HCMT clinic like Vincent! Vincent was brought in for TNR but had ear mites so bad that he really tore up his poor ear. We have been able to give Vincent a safe place to recoup while his ear heals. If he decides he likes it inside with people, when we have space available, we'll place him with a foster!

Bowling with us on 10/4 allows us to keep helping cats like Vincent and get others adoption ready!
