Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from Pittsburgh

Meet Bella — 90% Sweet, 10% Tortitude, and 100% Adorable! At six years young, beautiful Bella is a gorgeous tortoiseshell girl with a heart full of love and just a tiny sprinkle of that famous Tortitude! Bella recently found herself in the care of Paws Across Pittsburgh after her elderly owner was no longer able to care for her. Having spent her entire life in a loving home, Bella knows exactly what it means to be cherished, and she’s ready to find someone new to share all that love with. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, Bella might just be your girl!This little sweetheart is an absolute affection machine! She spends her days purring up a storm, rubbing against your legs, nudging your hands for pets, and making sure you know just how much she adores you.

Read more about Bella

Bella LOVES attention and isn’t shy about asking for it!But let’s talk about that Tortitude! Bella is about 90% sugar with just a little dash of spice! Every now and then, she’ll remind you that she’s a tortie with a mind of her own. She appreciates affection on her terms and isn’t afraid to let you know when she’s had enough. We think that little bit of sass just adds to her charm! Bella’s Purr-fect Forever Home:Bella has spent her entire life enjoying a peaceful, quiet environment, and we’d love to find her a home where she can continue living the life she’s accustomed to. Bella MUST be the only pet in the home. She does not do well with other cats or dogs and needs a home where she can be the one and only furry family member. She’s perfectly happy being the center of someone’s world and has more than enough love to give! Older, respectful children are best. Because Bella occasionally likes to show off her Tortitude, she would do best in a home with adults or older children who understand feline body language, respect her boundaries, and know when she’s ready for a little personal space. A calm, quiet household is a must. Bella isn’t looking for a busy home or a life full of excitement. She’s looking for something much more special — a peaceful environment, a gentle hand, a cozy place to nap, and a human to call her very own. Perhaps you’re retired, work from home, or simply enjoy the quieter things in life. Bella would love nothing more than to be your loyal little companion. Bella has spent six years being someone’s beloved pet. Now she deserves the chance to spend the rest of her life being someone’s everything. If you have a quiet home, no other pets, and a heart with room for one very special little tortie, Bella is waiting to meet you!

15. Wisha

Young · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (long coat) · 13 mi from Pittsburgh

Wisha—a young, long-haired beauty—is sweet, chatty, playful, and affectionate. She loves adventure, is very outgoing, and exudes a positive energy that is contagious. Most of all, Wisha is everything her name represents.Hailing from Ireland, the name “Wisha” (wee-sha) is an old-school interjection used to express surprise or excitement. It was originally a euphemism for “A Mhuire!” ("O Mary!") in calling upon the Virgin Mary. The word carries a rustic, folksy feel, and helps to break tension when reacting to a moment or sharing information. Wisha’s personality easily gels with her name’s origin.

Read more about Wisha

She was nothing short of a surprise when she showed up outside of an office building parking lot as a skinny stray cat! A couple of months later, Wisha continues to live up to her name; her vivacious energy when she chases her toys, her chatty nature when she talks to her humans, and her silly and unexpected antics certainly ease tension while keeping you on your toes.Meanwhile, Wisha (wish-a) also means “hope” in Sanskrit, which is equally fitting: she was skinny, injured, and desperate when she was found, but in just a few weeks, she became healthy, clean, and ready for fun. That’s a character arc that captures “hope” pretty well!Wisha is intensely (and hilariously) playful, enjoying ripping around at full speed in pursuit of her “prey” on wand toys. She would do best in a single-cat household with an active family who can give her lots of attention, excitement, and enrichment. She loves all people and is very gentle with humans…including little humans!If you’re looking for an unexpected surprise (or perhaps a burst of hope), why not bring Wisha into your family?

The girls: Donut, Muffin, Avocado Toast, and Maple The boys: Jimmy Dean and Shortstack These little breakfast buddies were found when they were just 10 days old, living outside with several mama cats. It truly took a village to raise them!Tiny Mama French Toast—who weighs only 5 pounds and looks like a kitten herself—amazingly helped nurse all six babies.

Read more about French Toast

She's the friendliest of the mama crew and loves having her head scratched. She is not a fan of being picked up, though, so she'd be better off without little kids in the home. Her baby, Maple, follows her around like a shadow. They would make a great adopted pair! Sweet Mama Mimosa happily shared mom duties, while Mama Hashbrown pitched in too, despite being a shy girl who prefers life behind the scenes. Protective Daddy Pancake watched over his little family, cuddling and playing with the kittens every chance he got. He's still a bit bashful and went with Hashbrown to a barn placement. And then there's Aunt Cheerio, who became everyone's favorite cuddle buddy. The kittens still pile up on her like she's their second mama. Cheerio is a very sweet cat who purrs like crazy with pets. She's a little shy at first but has blossomed with her patient foster mom. Cheerio so enjoys hanging with all the other cats in her room. Their story didn't start out easy. All 28 cats rescued from the property were battling coccidia when they arrived. Thanks to lots of love, lots of expensive vet bills and full bellies, every one of them is now healthy, thriving, and enjoying the good life they always deserved.Because these babies came into foster care so young, they absolutely adore people. They don't just like attention—they crave it! Whether they're curled up in your lap, purring in your arms, or racing around the house like a bunch of Energizer bunnies, life is one big breakfast buffet of fun.Like any growing kittens, they're wonderfully playful, so they must be adopted with a sibling or go to a home that already has another young, playful cat. They cannot be a single kitten in a household. The good news? Any combination of these six makes the perfect recipe!And while you're meeting the Breakfast Club, don't forget the rest of this unforgettable brunch bunch!Granola and Oatmeal, two gorgeous tortie girls, may look like kittens but are actually young adults with stunning coats and sweet personalities that blossom more every day.Toast Malone is exactly as cool as his name suggests. He's the laid-back king of the breakfast table and the group's biggest ladies' man. You'll usually find him cuddled up with Oatmeal, Granola, Cheerio... or, if he's really living his best life, all three at once!And sweet Bailey reminds us why rescue is so rewarding. He arrived frightened and full of hisses, but once he realized people could be trusted, he transformed into one of the sweetest boys around.Although some of this crew never adjusted to indoor life, they happily transitioned to life on a farm. Bacon, Latte, Mimosa, Lady Marmalade, Fruit Loop, Strudel, and Hashbrown are all living their best life in pairs at amazing farms around the Pittsburgh area. This incredible breakfast family has overcome so much together, and now they're all ready for the happiest chapter yet—a forever home where they'll never have to worry about another meal, another cuddle, or another sunrise alone.So... who's ready to start every morning with breakfast and a side of purrs?

I enjoy chasing toys, exploring my surroundings, and showing off my playful side, but I’m also happy to curl up next to you for some quality cuddle time.I do have asthma, which means I need a quick inhaler treatment once every-other day. Don’t worry—I’m a great patient and it only takes a moment to help me breathe my best. In return, I’ll reward you with lots of affection, companionship, and plenty of purrs. I’m looking for someone who can give me the care I need and all the love I deserve. If you want a friendly, attention-loving cat with a playful spirit and a big heart, I might just be your perfect match.

Adopting a cat in Pittsburgh

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
