Age: 1 year
Ideal Home: An active, cat-savvy home that can keep up with his playful personality and be mindful about door curious kitties.

Personality:

  • Extremely playful, curious, and silly 
  • Always getting into harmless mischief 
  • Loves climbing, exploring, and perching up high 
  • Wants to investigate every nook and cranny

He’s curious about doors and what’s beyond them, so he’ll need a careful family committed to keeping him safe indoors.

 VADER
Age: 2 years
Ideal Home: A calm, quiet foster-to-adopt home where he can feel safe, comfortable, and continue receiving supportive care


Background:
Vader came to WOASH after his previous family made the difficult decision to surrender him due to behavioral concerns in the home. It’s important to note that these behaviors were not aggressive in nature. Since arriving in our care, we have not observed the concerns previously described, and our staff will gladly discuss his history and needs in more detail with potential adopters to help ensure the best fit.

Unfortunately, Vader is front declawed, and while we cannot say for certain, we strongly suspect the procedure may not have healed comfortably for him. He walks with an abnormal gait, often appearing to avoid putting pressure on parts of his paws, and he seems most comfortable when resting or lounging.


Personality:

  • Incredibly sweet, soft, and snuggly 
  • Loves being petted and spending time with his people 
  • Enjoys cozy beds and comfortable places to relax 
  • Likes playing with his favorite toys 
  • Calm and affectionate companion 
  • Gentle soul who thrives in a peaceful environment 


Good With:

  • Other cats possibly in the future
  • Calm, patient adults 
  • Quiet households willing to continue monitoring his comfort and needs 


Does Not Prefer:

  • Other pets at this time 
  • Loud, chaotic environments 
  • Situations that may add stress or overstimulation 


Health Info:

  • Front declawed 
  • More comfortable sitting or laying down for extended periods 
  • Seeking a foster-to-adopt placement so we can continue assessing his long-term needs 


Vader truly deserves a second chance. Beneath everything he has been through is a loving, gentle boy who simply wants comfort, safety, and someone to care for him the way he deserves. With patience, understanding, and a soft place to land, Vader has so much love left to give.

Adoptable Cats & Kittens in Foster Care

Most kittens are in foster homes. All pets require an appointment to meet them, but especially kittens, as meet and greets depend on foster availability. To schedule a meet and greet please call 412-672-8901.


Generally, kittens do best with other pets in the home, especially another cat friend. Nearly all WOASH adoptable kittens require another cat in the home or to be adopted as a pair. We typically do not allow kittens do be adopted as the singular pet in the household, unless they require otherwise.  

Foster Families Needed

Cat-Savvy Fosters Needed

We have a few kitties who need a cat-savvy foster family, or foster-to-adopt home, to work with them on socialization. These cats are not feral, but they are not well socialized. We know they have it in them to be loving companions given the right circumstances and a patient person. Please consider serving as a socialization foster or a foster-to-adopt family. The kitties to consider are Ricardo or Midnight!

KITTENS

We are always in need of reliable foster homes for kittens up to 6 months old, moms cats with nursing kittens, and neonatal kittens. Our greatest need is fosters willing to take on a mom and nursing kittens! 

WOASH can provide food, litter, and other supplies while foster families provide the love and care. Once kittens are of appropriate age and vet care, they begin seeking their forever homes through the WOASH adoption process.

Call to inquire about becoming a kitten foster home.

*The pictured kittens have been adopted and are not in need of a foster home.* 


Found kittens or a mom with nursing kittens? Offer to one time foster! By offering to foster the kittens through our shelter, we can provide supplies and care, you just provide the space, love, and care!
