Winter Community Cat Shelter Giveaway with Stray Cat Relief Fund – 100 shelters made!

Keeping the community kitties warm this winter!

We sponsored a community cat shelter giveaway in partnership with Stray Cat Relief Fund!

100 shelters were made and distributed to community caretakers in need for their TNR kitties! You can make a shelter too! YouTube videos show you step by step how to make them! Instructions are shown in the photos above or search for “outdoor cat houses” on the web.

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.

2021 6ABC Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Philadoptables had Clifford all inflated and ready to strut the parkway of Philadelphia for the 2021 6ABC Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day parade!

It was such a great day – thank you to all the amazing volunteers who got up in the middle of the night to join us at the parade!

Community Cats Receive Medical Care + TNR

When trapping outdoor cats, you never know what type of medical issues you may run into. Helping community cats is part of our mission.

When our friend Angelo reached out to us and asked if we could assist with the spay and neuter of about 15 cats from a colony in Philadelphia, we of course said yes!

While in surgery at Forgotten Cats, it was found that this kitty had an injured eye that was causing pressure to build and would eventually rupture. We sponsored the cost to have his eye removed in addition to his neuter. This could be the only time that a community cat gets vet care so we wanted to ensure this guy got what he needed medically!

Want to help? We have a fund specifically for TNR and you can note for your donation to go to that fund!

Better Together – New Scale for Phoenix Animal Rescue!

When our friends at Phoenix Animal Rescue told us that their scale broke, Philadoptables knew we had to help!

Phoenix Animal Rescue has saved so many animals from the city shelter this year. The scale is very important to their lifesaving work as having an accurate weight on an animal is critical to making sure they receive the proper dosage of medication.

Adorable Max is modeling the new scale!

Shelter Volunteer Day!

What started as a very determined young man who grabbed his landscape nippers and took off in pursuit of a wild butterfly bush blocking the sidewalk turned into our shelter clean up!

Our volunteers built 37 dog beds and took them into the kennels so our dog friends will sleep comfortably. Countless loads of laundry were done and the laundry room was deep cleaned. Dishes were cleaned, trash was bagged, sail shades were hung in the outside runs, and that’s just the beginning of the work that was completed. Some dedicated folks cleaned out the community cat area, freshened up the bedding, and countless pallets were dragged to the front of the property where they are available for pick up. We fixed things and cleaned things, made and gave out yummy treats, and tried to make the shelter a more safe and comfortable place for the animals, the volunteers, and the staff.

Thank you to this huge amazing group of people who showed up to help out today!
