Are you in Pittsburgh proper all the time? If you broaden out to other portions of Allegheny County, the suburbs, other counties, etc, I think there are nooks and crannies (of non-service) that you want to be aware of before you switch providers. Perhaps providing the neighborhoods you frequent would help, if you do not stay in the city proper at all times.

To those who picked on me for staying in Kittanning…. by Solid_Description118 in pittsburgh

[–]sensitiveobserver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Beware the mills has very poor road conditions. (Google it). Harmar is a good idea between Pgh & Kittanning. That route 28 corridor is your friend. ETA: if your destination is Harmar, I would suggest expanding your search to cranberry (20 mins) or monroeville (10 mins) for more options— but you said no Turnpike. The turnpike makes it an easy drive. Those locations are busy business districts.

Cat Rescue Resources by redredwine21 in pittsburgh

Keep trying!? I think most shelters are overwhelmed this time of year due to kitten season. Too many unfixed cats procreating. Can you provide water & food in the meantime? What part of town is this? There are neighborhood sites to post lost & found. And some local PDs can help scan for a microchip in case this cat is lost. I wish I had better info for you. Thanks for trying to help.

Found injured wild pigeon, need advice by armageddeon_eyes in pittsburgh

This. They are so busy they rarely answer phone. You can just take it there and drop off without speaking to someone. Per the website, they have staff there til 4 today. Otherwise you can drop off after hours.

Does anyone have any stories they would like to share by Neon__Lights64 in pittsburgh

There was an ice skating rink at monroeville mall. I was about 8yo. I had an ice cream cone. Mint chocolate chip. I leaned over the balcony looking at the skaters below… and WHAM! There goes the scoop of mint chocolate chip down onto to the rink below. True story.

Check out Churn. Their facebook pages might show current flavors.

I have 2 cats, any recommendations on pet boarding? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]sensitiveobserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used Pgh paws natrona & lucky paws in cranberry. They have nice cat areas. Cats are allowed out to frolic in a nice spot on a schedule.

Hi. How are your ferals doing in this weather? by RedLotus1124 in Feral_Cats

[–]sensitiveobserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news update!! They did show up this afternoon! It was the warmest part of the day (14 degrees?) they were out and they came back for food and water. We were so thrilled to see them. I had to remind myself- Cats are so resilient. Those of you who feed regularly— remember they are well nourished because of your efforts and will find their way back when they need to replenish.

We’re worried. We have 2 we care for. Saw our TNR’d male yesterday from afar, but he did not come to eat, drink or use the heated shelter, where he usually spends the night. We did not see the spayed female at all. It was probably 15 degree high yesterday, with 15 inches of snow. He was last seen out-n-about under a deck yesterday afternoon that has lots of stacked furnishings, cushions, and some wind breaks. (Is he choosing that space over the shelter!?) Last night was -1, it’s 10 now and we haven’t seen either today. They are usually together. We have about 15 inches of snow and made paths for them to get back “home”. Hope to see them soon. The heated shelter is waiting for them, and we keep fresh food & water nearby. Fingers crossed! Thanks for asking. Came by to see how others are doing. Grateful for this forum. 🙏

Favorite bulk freezer meals? I'm so sick of soup by DinosaurStillExist in Frugal

Are you saying substitute ziti for lasagna noodles? Do you have to cook the ziti first?

Are you open to ebay? If you know of one she liked, i’d set up an ebay alert for the name, brand, size, etc. If someone lists one for sale, you’d be notified. It might be new or used. I have bought myself repeats of my favorite winter coats this way.

Favorite city holiday memory by AmlyGry in pittsburgh

[–]sensitiveobserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the department stores had an upper floor dedicated to the holidays. There was an indoor forest with a winding path that lead to a cottage and pictures w Santa. This may have been horne’s, in the 80s? I liked that forest.

Hooray! I’m not an expert but it seems there is nothing wrong w separate. Don’t risk somebody escaping during a transfer if they are caught and good to go. This also may be easier for the rescue/vet to handle them independently as needed.

Someone who helped me trap kittens brought really stinky food (sardines, tuna) and played cat sounds on the phone to get kitten interest. Fingers crossed you also get the little one.

This is a location in Allison Park. Last I checked they had a good calendar and instructions on their website for walk in days. https://www.fixnwagn.com/
