Pittsburgh CAT🎉🐾 Giving Tuesday is just one week away!

This year is extra special, HCMT is celebrating 25 years of spaying, neutering, rescuing, and protecting Pittsburgh’s community cats. For a quarter of a century, we’ve been helping caretakers, reducing overpopulation, and giving thousands of cats safer, healthier lives.

As we look to Giving Tuesday & to the next 25 years, plan a simple but powerful gift: $25 in honor of our 25th anniversary!

Wonder how our cats go from rescue to adoption?

HCMT works with volunteers and community cat caretakers to spay/neuter cats in their areas. Sometimes cats are too ill, injured, or too friendly to re-join their colonies.

With our sister organization, Pittsburgh CAT , we assess kittens and friendly felines for socialization and adoptability. If we have the space, after spay/neutering and administering age-appropriate vaccines we look for foster placement with our network of volunteers. Once the cats have recovered and spent time socializing with humans, we work to find them homes!

Be sure to follow Pittsburgh CAT to see our adoption ready feline friends!

PS: You can help cats like Trevor by saving the date to give on December 2nd, Giving Tuesday!

Spay day vibes!

There are just a few clinics left this year!

🐾 Reminder- we DO NOT schedule through social media! Follow the instructions below:

ALL CLINICS WILL BE HELD AT THE NEW LOCATION: 1627 Union Ave, Natrona Heights, PA 15065.

Must register for clinic--no walk-ins!
Caretakers and cat guardians MUST pre-register. To register, email [email protected] or call 412-321-4060 and follow the prompts. You will receive an email or call confirming your spot.

🐾 By Email : Email [email protected] with your name, number of spots you need and which date you are registering for. You will receive a confirmation email ONLY if you are registered.

Feral cats must arrive in a standard humane box trap (Havahart, Safe-guard, Tomahawk, Tru-Catch, etc.) for the safety of all involved.
Pet and owned cats can arrive in carriers, one cat per carrier. They will be placed back in their carrier or trap for recovery after surgery.

🐾 🐾 FERAL vs PET CAT (please read!) 🐾 🐾
HCMT treats both feral cats and pet/rescue cats.
- A FERAL is a cat that will be returned to the outdoor location where it was trapped after surgery and WILL receive a mandatory ear tip.
- A PET is a cat that either has been or will be adopted as a pet after surgery.
- ONLY FERAL cats are eligible for No-Charge clinics.
- Both feral and pet cats can be treated at Fast Track Clinics.
- FAST TRACK CLINICS are for any cat who needs a low-cost spay or neuter.

If you follow Pittsburgh Prison Cats you probably saw that they proactively relocated their colony due to potential changes at the prison site. HCMT and Pittsburgh CAT are proud to play a small part in helping with this process.

Thank you to all of the prison colony caretakers who supported these kitties for so many years, making sure they were always fed, healthy, and safe.
