My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BRUTUS is an orange tabby and if you know them, they are usually super nice and friendly. That is exactly him. Loves people, Leslie, to play, cat nip, and canned cat food is the way to his heart. BRUTUS is sooo cute!!. He was found when police were notified that he was abandoned on the side of the road, in a not so big carrier, with a kitten and Leslie, who we believe is his baby mom. He is very friendly, loves humans, and is easy to care for. Just a very sweet soul.

Cats always ADAPT to their family so don't feel bad adopting one or the other but he is here currently with Leslie. They do love each other. Both are very friendly and she is an absolutely stunning calico. Like not even saying that to get her adopted her face has print on one half and then split on the other. Their situation here is difficult for me and I need them adopted either way. BRUTUS is just a love bug, he would have me sit with him all day BUT either the amount of cats here, the kittens, or just everything here annoys him and he just growls when any other cat come near him. I have others that also do not get along. It gets to be a lot.

There's more still outside waiting to get rescued is how I look at it but I do want to " throw it out there for them". That these two would get along very well in a home together (or separately) Both are super nice. I already have an adult pair that has been here for 6 months (CYRUS and MONA) and I know adult pairs are nearly impossible to get adopted but they are a super cute pair. BRUTUS is also SUPER CUTE ALL BY HIMSELF> so again COME VISIT. You might fall in love..

I rescued and live with the cats so I am very familiar with their personalities. Here you get a more personal experience. Each one of these cats has a heart wrenching backstory that I wish was not true, but that struggle is what brought them here to be rescued from that life to be given a chance at another.....

,,,,,,,A little bit about me, is my rescue is on the 2nd-3rd floors of my Pittsburgh home. Once I get the kitties fully vetted, I let them be free to play and snuggle as they please. So, if you want to come and visit call, text or email. Picking a companion animal is easier in person, then it is from a photo. Plus, I don't take the best photos.

If you are on Tik Toc follow us @saveourstrays.pgh and see some of the amazing rescues we have done and follow to see who we save next!

BRUTUS is fully vetted. That means HE DOES NOT NEED ANYMORE VETTING - spayed, dewormed, -2 vaccines for FVRCP, microchipped and tested for FeLV & FIV (NEGATIVE). The combo test alone at a private vet will cost $120 but we already got him completely fixed up for ya. All this beauty needs is your love and care.

Vetting fees have also gone up a lot, just like everything else. The little bit of money we make off of adoptions goes right back into the mix to help the next stray in need. I do not fundraise because I do not have the time or energy after the rescue and my full-time job. Off of the adult cats we break even and most of the time, if we are lucky. I do not get the funding like the big nonprofits so adopting from me supports what we do..... pull theses helpless cats from the streets of Pittsburgh, get them fully vetted and into loving homes. The other big names take cats from inside of homes, I give the other ones outside, still in the trenches a chance.

Save Our Strays uses some of our profits and donations to get surgeries done for cats that have no one to pay to get them spayed/neutered (TNR). Our first 2.5 years we sterilized over 100 community cats, preventing 1000s of them from being born outside.

If you are interested in any of the cats, please call & leave a voicemail or send a text .412 863 0064. I do not have a long application process, just call and talk to me to set up an appointment to meet n greet the kitties. I am always available via phone with any questions you might have, even down the road.
