From Urgent to Uplifted: How Your Support Helped Save “Fetty,” Now Ravioli

Last week, we saw a heartbreaking plea from the city shelter: a sweet cat, marked URGENT, desperately needed medical care. His condition was serious, his future uncertain. But thanks to your support—and the incredible team at Fishtails—his story is now one of hope, healing, and a brand-new beginning.

We donated $300 to help cover medical costs for this brave boy, and the results have been nothing short of inspiring.

🚨 From Shelter to Safety
Fetty was rushed to the vet immediately after being pulled from the city shelter. He received the urgent treatment he needed for a severe urinary condition—something that can quickly turn fatal if left untreated.

💚 Healing in Foster Care
Today, this resilient little guy is recovering in a loving foster home, receiving round-the-clock care and lots of cuddles. His progress has been remarkable, and he’s already showing signs of his sweet, spunky personality shining through.

🍝 New Name, New Life
With a new chapter comes a new name. Meet Ravioli—a name as full of charm as he is. His transformation is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we act quickly and compassionately for animals in crisis.

EMERGENCY RESCUE: Meet Tiggy

This sweet 2-year-old boy almost didn’t make it.

Tiggy was suffering from a severe urinary blockage — a life-threatening condition. Without immediate intervention, he would have been euthanized.

At 2 a.m., we got the call from Dr. Russell and the incredible team at BluePearl Conshohocken asking if we could help. And of course, we said YES.

💛 Thanks to their quick action, Tiggy is now safe and receiving the emergency care he needs. But his fight isn’t over — and we can’t do this without you.

Please consider donating to help us cover Tiggy’s medical costs and give him the second chance he deserves.
Every dollar truly makes a difference. 🙏

Music, Laughter, and a Whole Lot of Love for Animals!

On behalf of everyone at Philadoptables, we want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support our Music Bingo fundraiser this weekend! We had an incredible turnout, a ton of laughs, and most importantly, we raised much-needed funds to continue our mission of helping animals in the Philadelphia area.

The event took place in the cozy Patio Room at the 7C Lounge, where guests were treated to five fun-filled rounds of Music Bingo. With each 45-second clip, players scrambled to mark off song titles and artists on their cards, hoping to take home one of the gift card prizes. In the event of a tie, the winner was decided by the player with the most X’s on their board—adding an extra layer of fun and strategy to the game!

We also had a beautiful selection of raffle baskets on site, generously donated by our amazing supporters. Thanks to everyone who brought cash and participated—every dollar helps us continue to provide food, medical care, and support to Philly’s most at-risk animals. VIEW ALBUM

Special thanks go out to:

  • 🎤 B.C. Productions for donating all hosting services, supplies, and equipment
  • 🏠 The 7C Lounge for donating the venue space
  • 🎁 Our incredible raffle basket donors and sponsors
  • 🧡 Everyone who purchased tickets and showed up to play!

A big shoutout as well to our wonderful host, Mindy Cono, who graciously donated her time and energy to make this event happen.

With only 50 tickets available, we were thrilled to see the room filled with animal lovers and bingo enthusiasts alike—including a few well-behaved kiddos eager to join the fun!

Your support means the world to us and directly fuels our efforts to make Philadelphia a safer, more compassionate place for animals in need.

Spring into Love — Adopt a Pet This Season!

Why Adoption Matters: Give a Shelter Pet a Second Chance at Life 

Every day, thousands of animals across the country wait in shelters, hoping for someone to walk through the door and choose them. In Philadelphia, ACCT Philly takes in over 20,000 cats and dogs each year — many of them strays, surrendered pets, or animals in urgent need of care. While some of these animals are lucky enough to find loving homes quickly, others wait days, weeks, or even longer. That’s why adoption and rescue efforts matter more than ever — and why choosing to adopt can literally save a life.

The Power of Adoption

When you adopt a pet from a shelter like ACCT Philly, you’re doing more than bringing home a companion. You’re giving a second chance to an animal who may have been abandoned, abused, or simply overlooked.

Many shelter pets are already house-trained, socialized, and full of love. Others need a bit of patience and care — but the bond you’ll build will be unlike anything else. And with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and even breeds (yes, purebreds too!) entering the shelter daily, you’re sure to find a match that fits your home and lifestyle.

Why It Matters

✅ You’re saving a life — and making space for another animal in need.
✅ All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and temperament-tested before adoption.
✅ You’re helping to combat puppy mills and pet overpopulation.
✅ Adoption counselors help match you with the right pet, ensuring a smoother transition into your home.
✅ 25% of shelter animals are purebreds, but all of them are full of love.

More Than One Path to Adoption

If you’re not sure you’re ready or don’t find your perfect match at ACCT Philly right away, there are many local rescue groups working hand-in-hand with the shelter — saving lives every day by pulling animals and placing them into foster homes until they’re adopted. When you adopt from these organizations, you’re still helping a shelter pet find their forever family.

Take the First Step

Whether you’re ready to adopt now or just starting to explore, we encourage you to learn more about the adoption process, meet the animals, and consider opening your heart and home.
