Update on Winter Pet Food Drive – After the Reindeer Are Fed, Remember the Cats and Dogs

We urgently need dry dog and cat food

The Winter Holiday Pet Food Drive is underway. We are supporting the striking pet owners of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh along with our colony caretakers and modest income pet owners.

Scroll down for donation information.

We have 68 households registered caring for over 700 animals.

Each month, we try to offer each household 12 lbs of dry food and 24 cans of wet. During winter months, we need more dry. Right now, we especially need dog food for some of the union households.

We did a mailing to local unions asking for help. We also sent an appeal to the neighbors living close to Ft. Faulsey cat colony.

You can donate cat and dog food via three drop-off spots

  • US Steel Workers lobby 60 Boulevard of the Allies, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
  • 1213 W. North Avenue (some steps) Manchester 15233
  • 1440 Faulsey Way (backyard address)  Manchester 15233
  •  Look for the yellow #PghCatFolx sign and the patio bin to secure your donation.
  • Wishlist bit.ly/TheRuffList

We can also arrange to pickup quantities  of donations. 

Financial donations are also welcome. 

  • GoFundMe bit.ly/GivePghCatFolx
  • Venmo  @ PittsburghLGBTQ   
  • Paypal.me/PittsburghLGBTQ 
  • Checks can be made payable to Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities and mailed to 1439 W. North Avenue Pittsburgh PA  15233. Please write pet food in the memo section.

The drive continues into January 2025. Eligible caretakers can register at anytime via bit.ly/PetFolxPetFoodPantry 

Striking pet owners will remain part of our pantry until they return to work.
