Sunday, August 23 was an amazing day! We co-hosted a TNR clinic which was totally free to anyone who brought in an outside (or three or five) cat for spay/neuter surgery. This service is vital to keeping a control on what often becomes an overwhelming situation as cats reproduce. Our total for the event was not 100 as planned – it was 119 cats through surgery- 52 female and 67 male kitties! The cost of the clinic was covered by Philadoptables and The Peanut Fund. The Philly cat community rocks- such special people! Listening to all the stories of their beloved community/outside cats was really wonderful.
We are HAPPY to help such great animal lovers and THANK everyone who came out today! Special thanks to Marta for organizing the event and for the wonderful care given to these kitties by PAWS staff Natalie, Lucy, and their team.
Kitten season is in full swing! 2020 is an unprecedented year due to COVID-19 but that does not stop homeless kittens from being born. Due to the circumstances, the Philly shelter has been operated on emergency only intake and as a result Philly area rescues have stepped up in a big way to assist mom cats and kittens who are on the streets. We reached out to help these rescues and sent kitten supplies of KMR, kitten food, bottles and snuggle discs to many of them to assist during this time! The rescues assisted were Stray Cat Blues, NARPS Cats, Providence Animal Center, PURR, Catnip Rescue, Lucky Dawg Rescue and Lucky You Animal Rescue.
