Oxygen Tent for Senior Dogs

Our friends at Happy Tails Rescue Retirement Home go above and beyond for senior dogs in need.

Happy Tails Rescue Retirement Home is a one-woman mission to give senior dogs without a home the chance to live out their golden years in comfort.

When they critically needed an oxygen tent for their residents, your generous support allowed us to purchase one for them. Without our supporters, we would not be able to help senior dogs in need or the many at-risk animals in our community.

Thank you for your dedication and love!

Colony Cats Receive Critical Care + TNR

One part of Philadoptables’ mission includes helping community cats. Community cats are outdoor cats who may be feral or semi-feral but still need care and to be spayed and neutered. We were contacted by a local animal advocate about a colony of cats in Yeadon, PA – Delaware county.

With the help of local trappers, 19 cats were trapped for spay/neuter and taken to Forgotten Cats for their surgery. This process is called TNR – which stands for trap, neuter, return.


Four of those cats were kittens who were sent to rescue. One cat had a severe eye infection and the eye had to be removed. That kitty, Vixen, who is pictured above (black and white), will now live a more healthy and happy life from getting the medical care she needed. During the TNR process, cats are spayed or neutered and given vaccines.

We are thankful we can support community cats like Vixen who need our help! All made possible through partnerships and grant funding with Finance of America Cares – thank you FOAC!

Our HOPES for 2022

Our HOPES for 2022:

-that more people open their hearts and homes to pets in need.

-that animals are thought of as members of the family and not as money makers or ‘problems’.

-that more organizations help keep pets in their homes by offering services such as low cost vet care, food/supplies, spay/neuter, etc.

Our PROMISE is to help even more people and pets in 2022! Happy New Year!

2021 Pet Food Collection Drive Feeds Hundreds of Animals in Our Communities!

‘Tis the season for giving! For 13 years Philadoptables has helped feed hungry cats and dogs in the Delaware Valley and like always, we couldn’t do it without our generous supporters.

Last week, we donated all of our collected food to benefit two events and multiple communities. Thank you to everyone that contributed and assisted with our pet food collection drive!

Hundreds of animals will have full bellies this holiday season thanks to you!

During one of the events, 100+ families were served at a cohosted community pet food pantry with PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society), Philadelphia Auto And Parole, and Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia!

Happy Holidays! #noemptybowls

Cant make a TNR cat house but want to help?

Philadoptables is committed to helping community cats in the Philadelphia area. Through this commitment, we have sponsored many TNR surgeries.

TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return. Community cats are cared for by feeders who are residents of the community but with over 400,000 stray cats in Philadelphia, it is important that these cats are spayed and neutered. Once a community cat is spayed or neutered, they will have an ear tip that shows this so if they are trapped again, it is already known that they are fixed.

By assisting with funding for these surgeries, Philadoptables is supporting our mission of helping to reduce the number of cats and kittens being brought into the city’s open intake shelter, ACCT Philly.
