Trash Cat Rescue

Trash Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foster-based cat rescue located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Many of our cats and kittens start from very unglamorous beginnings, such as roaming the streets, or living in unsafe conditions. Our name originated from a foster who was a very literal “trashcat” – he was found inside of a dumpster. Trash Cat’s mission is to reduce the suffering of these often sick, scared, and/or undersocialized cats. If a cat or kitten is brought into our rescue, we provide the vetting they need and a safe space for them to leave their trashy beginnings behind… to become happy, healthy, and adoptable cats!
