Found orange cat on Portland St close to Hampton (and Negley)
by Lacy & Matt Ruffalo 11 Aug '23

11 Aug '23

Good morning! I saw an orange cat in my driveway on Wednesday morning, and it ran to the street as I was pulling my car out of our garage. This morning I heard a mew from our back door, thought one of our cats was looking out at something interesting, and was surprised to see the same orange cat asking to be let inside. I'd guess the cat is less than a year old, maybe eight to ten months, but it's hard to be sure whether it's thin due to adolescence or due to a street diet. It's cute and friendly, and I intend to take it to a shelter to see if it has a chip, but wanted to ask whether anyone knows if this kitty has a home close by -- or if it doesn't have any identification, whether anyone wants a cute orange cat instead of me taking it to Humane Animal Rescue. (I don't have any availability this morning to try to get it into a cat carrier and have it checked for a microchip, hence giving a decent meal of cat treats to make sure it'll come back 😸) Thank you! Matt Ruffalo

A friend is having a house concert at 1212 N Sheridan Ave in Highland Park (aka “McNair’s House) on Saturday, August 19! Doors open at 7:00 pm, music starts at 8:00 pm. The band is Cupid and the Cowboy - a duo out of Brooklyn, NY. They are coming to Pittsburgh especially to perform for you. * The band describes themselves: * “Singer-songwriters Cupid and the Cowboy, are a misfit duo/band from New York City. Cupid sings twee pop over guitar while the cowboy brings the ruckus from behind the drum kit with his revival of scrappy cowpunk. They trade vocals and are regulars in the Harlem club scene. Bilingual, diverse, and fun, their insightful and uptempo songs will be sure to provoke new thoughts as well as thoroughly entertain." * Get your tickets here: https://sidedooraccess.com/shows/ccHQLL1V2H7i76cnPlPp<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sidedooraccess.com/shows/ccHQLL1V2H7i76c…> or https://sidedoor.link/l/WY7pg1X5f4lzKUv1IiRP<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sidedoor.link/l/WY7pg1X5f4lzKUv1IiRP__;!…> Each ticket includes one beer, glass of wine, or sparkling water. You will need to register with Sidedoor in order to purchase tickets. Proceeds go to the band. (If the ticketing process is troublesome, just RSVP and we’ll make it work.) * We may do this inside or outside, depending on weather or RSVPs. * Hear some of the band's music and get more info at https://cupidandthecowboy.com/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cupidandthecowboy.com/__;!!NHLzug!Jp6n3S…> * And let us know if you have any questions.
