Just a big tough baby kitten to brighten your gloomy TuesdayđĽ°
We're closing out Giving Tuesday with this cute video. This isn't even half of the kitties we've helped this year â who all do you recognize? Consider sending a small donation our way to end the night so we can continue saving cats and kittens just like the ones in this video!

In case anyone was wondering how Rigatoni is doing⌠he is loving his little foster buddy Leroy (and tolerating Stitchđ¤Ł). Toni is the perfect example of FIV+ kitties living with negative kitties. Sweet as can be and happy as a clam, as he should be after all heâs been through. All three boys will be available for adoption very soon, so keep an eye out!
Weâre here at Pittsburgh VegFest for the second year in a row until 5 pm!
We have shirts for humans, a nice raffle basket, and lots of goodies for kitties too â come say hi!
The three surviving South Park kittens are absolutely thriving! After a little scare from Reginold aka Reggie (the orange kitten), heâs finally on the up, gaining weight, chowing down, and acting like a normal kitten. He and his brothers Bartholomew (Bart) and Leopold (Leo) have graduated from their basement quarantine and are officially upstairs fosters! The super playful, sweet brothers should be fully vetted and available for adoption in about a month!
Moon had a huge breakthrough last night!
We just knew this boy wasnât really feral but had started to second guess ourselves with how shut down and fearful he has been. Well, last night he proved us wrong. What started with just the confidence to eat in front of his foster for the first time led to belly rubs! Heâs still very shy and afraid of sudden movements and loud sounds, but heâs certainly shown us that even after his dental, heâs ready to stay inside for good.
We cannot wait for him to get his dental and those broken canines removed. We can only imagine how sweet he will be once heâs no longer in constant pain! Weâd love to find him a foster willing to give him the time and patience he needs to fully trust humans again. We can provide all the supplies, and you provide a loving temporary home and an open heart!

Hank is downright obsessed with his favorite toy!
Somehow this perfectly handsome tom is still searching for a forever home. Heâd love nothing more than to come home with you, bring his toy along with him, and brighten up your life. Itâs hard to have a bad day with this goofy, loving boy around!
Check out Hankâs Petfinder profile and apply to adopt him today!

In case you missed it on our stories, we are happy to share that Jethro has successfully been returned to his Oakland home! We simply couldnât believe just how good he looked on his send off compared to that first day we caught him with Animal Control in August.
Jethro is a great reminder of just how crucial donations are to the work that we do. Almost $1,000 has been put into Jethroâs care to get him healthy for release. And often times in the case of feral cats like Jethro, we donât make a single dollar of that back. The reality is that nearly every cat that comes through our rescue costs us more than we will ever make back, even for those we adopt out. There is simply no way for our organization to run on adoption fees alone.
In just the first 13 days of October, we have spent over $1,700 on vet visits and foster supplies. So far this month, weâve had just three adoptions. Itâs easy to see the significant deficit and just how important your donations are. We put our heart and soul into every street cat that comes our way, whether feral, friendly, healthy or injured. We have taken large hits over the last few months that have seemingly felt never ending. We are once again at a point where our funding has been nearly entirely depleted.
We are asking that this $5 Friday you consider donating. Our posts reach hundreds, sometimes thousands of people â imagine if each person who saw our posts donated just $5. A little bit goes a long way and every bit helps us in furthering our lifesaving work in the city of Pittsburgh.
