HAPPY
Age: 3 years
Ideal Home: A calm, quiet home with other friendly cats and a patient adopter who will give him time to feel safe again


Background:
Happy was abandoned in an unsafe area before a kind local colony caretaker realized he was friendly and brought him to safety. He spent time living in a home where he was affectionate and comfortable, but the transition into the shelter has been very hard on him. The noise and activity have made him withdraw, and he’s still trying to adjust after losing the home he felt secure in.

 JAY
Age: 1 year
Ideal Home: A loving, social home that wants an affectionate, people-loving companion


Background:
Jay was originally a stray kitten and has been cared for by kind people who did their best to help him and his sister, Maryn. Unfortunately, they no longer had the financial means to continue caring for the cats, so Jay came to us in hopes of finding a stable, forever home where he can thrive.


Personality:

  • Extremely friendly and loves everyone he meets
  • Rolls over and purrs happily for affection
  • Super snuggly and affectionate
  • A total ham who enjoys attention and being adored

 JOSIE
Age: 10 years
Ideal Home: A quiet, patient home where she can feel safe, loved, and settle in at her own pace


Background:
Josie finds herself in the shelter through no fault of her own. She was heartbreakingly surrendered after her beloved owner passed away, and sadly no family was able to take her in. In a very short time, Josie lost everything familiar — her person, her home, and her sense of safety. The busy shelter environment has been overwhelming for her, and she is still trying to understand all the changes in her world.


Personality:

  • Gentle, sweet, and timid while she adjusts
  • Deeply people-oriented and happiest near her person
  • Affectionate once she begins to feel safe
  • Has the softest, kindest purr
  • A loyal companion who simply wants someone to love again
  • Calm and relaxed in nature


Good With:

  • Adults or cat-respectful older children
  • Calm, relaxed households
  • Possibly very gentle, friendly cats with slow introductions


Does Not Prefer:

  • Busy, chaotic environments
  • Sudden changes or overwhelming activity


Josie has spent her life being someone’s beloved companion, and she longs to feel that connection again. She isn’t asking for much — just a quiet place to rest, a patient human to love, and the chance to feel safe again after so much change. For the right person, Josie will be an incredibly devoted friend, offering comfort, affection, and a steady, healing purr.

MADELYN

Age: 4 years

MARYN
Age: 1 year
Ideal Home: A loving, social home looking for an affectionate, people-oriented companion


Background:
Maryn was originally a stray kitten and was cared for by kind individuals who did everything they could to help her and her brother, Jay. When they were no longer able to financially support the cats, Maryn came to us to find a stable, forever home where she can receive the love and security she deserves.


Personality:

  • Exceptionally friendly and loves meeting new people
  • Rolls over happily for pets and purrs with delight
  • Super snuggly and affectionate
  • A total ham who thrives on attention
  • Gentle, loving, and eager to be close to her humans


Good With:

  • Other cats
  • Her brother, Jay (adopt together)

  • Dogs, as we have not yet observed her around them

 WREN

Age: 2 years
Ideal Home: A calm, patient, cat-savvy home where he can gain confidence and enjoy slow, gentle affection


Background:
Wren was left behind when his owners moved and appears to have had little socialization prior. Initially terrified of everything and everyone, he has made incredible progress with gentle, consistent care and plenty of treats.


Personality:

  • Gentle and affectionate once he feels safe
  • Slowly building confidence in people
  • Food motivated and loves treats
  • Curious about other cats and feels more secure around them
  • Enjoys slow, calming petting
     

Good With:

Wren is a sweet, gentle soul who has come a long way and is ready to find a patient, loving home where he can continue to flourish at his own pace.

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.  

 BROOKS
Age: 3 months
Ideal Home: A loving home with another friendly cat and plenty of cuddle time

  • Sweet, docile little gentleman (well… docile for a kitten!)
  • Super snuggly and loves affection
  • Enjoys laying near the heater and cozying up close
  • Playful and fun, especially with his siblings
  • Plays gently, even though he’s the biggest of the group
  • Big fan of jingle ball toys

ADA
Age: 3 months
Ideal Home: A calm, loving home with another friendly cat and a peaceful routine


Background:
Ada came from the same overcrowded home as Brooks, where 33 cats were living together after reproduction spiraled out of control. Despite that chaotic start, Ada has grown into a sweet, relaxed little lady who is ready for a fresh beginning in a stable, loving home.


Personality:

  • Very sweet and gentle
  • Relaxed and more independent than her siblings
  • Docile and soft-natured (sometimes outshined by bolder personalities)

 CAMILLE

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, Brulee, 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!
