🐾 🐾 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.

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!

In need of a working cat?! We are looking for barn homes! HCMT is involved in an urgent situation involving 6 cats needing to be re-located. They can be relocated in groups of 2 or more and will need crated for 4 weeks as a part of the process (this allows them to learn that this is their new home) - large crates, litterboxes, food bowls and food to start WILL BE PROVIDED! Crates will have insulated box for them to tuck into. All cats will be spayed/neutered and UTD on vaccines.
Please consider helping if you have a barn or large space on your property! Send a DM or email [email protected] with the subject "Barn Home" if you're able to help!

Ruth is an incredible ally for the community cats in our area! She's constantly helping with TNR projects, working tirelessly to reduce the overpopulation of community cats. We're all lucky to have her on our side!

Cats are known for their independence, but when it gets as cold as it has been this week, even the most free-spirited of felines can use some help keeping warm. For a colony of feral cats in Allegheny Township, that help came this week in the form of Ruth Ann

WINTER SAFETY REMINDER

If you find an animal suffering from hypothermia:

DO NOT attempt to warm them up too quickly, as this can cause shock.

Gently move them to a warm, dry place.

Wrap them in a towel or blanket to provide gentle warmth and seek immediate veterinary attention.
