Getting Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities (PLC) to a healthy place after my year’s absence has been hard and here is how you can volunteer to help. Handyperson – Help Us Build Our Shed A shed was donated to us, but lack of folx to assemble meant we spent $2700 storing it (and other things.) Last month, […]
The minute Carl the kitten licked canned food from Marie’s finger, our hearts eased. He’s doing great. Help us help the next Carl and all of the critters.

Pictured are flea combs, brushes, nail trimmers, shaver, a portable grooming setup, and a scratchy arch toy. Pretty girl took down the arch into her bed and grooms herself […]

It is a backyard carved from collapsed row houses so uneven terrain. We also decided to rent a Uhaul truck to store donations. Your generosity overfloweth. Yesterday we […]
The clock is ticking for the (back)YardSale on Sat Sept 7, 2024 in Manchester Everything got delayed when we found a bedraggled cat on Faulsey Way. Turns out she’s 16 years old and weighs 4 lbs!
