Winter Cat Shelter Workshop

We sponsored Catadelphia’s awesome cat shelter building workshop and we were so amazed at how many people attended! It was incredible to see so many compassionate people come out and build these winter shelters to help keep community cats safe and protected during the brutal winter weather. A simple beverage cooler or storage bin turned into a shelter can make a huge difference for these critters. Thank you to all that participated! CLICK HERE to view photos from the workshop.

Playgroups are Lifesaving for Dogs at ACCT Philly

ACCT Philly’s volunteer-led playgroup gives adopters and rescues more behavioral information on the dogs and provides much needed enrichment for the ‘dog social’ dogs.

It’s such a treat watching dogs enter the play yard and begin to loosen up, bounce around, and have some real fun in an otherwise stressful place. For some dogs, playgroup can make the difference between a decline in kennel and a dog getting to be a dog!

When ACCT reached out to us about providing some supplies for play group, we said YES! Leashes, martingale collars, air horns, and storage containers help make play group safe and effective! Through your support, we were able to donate these items!

TNR Vouchers for Philadelphia Cats!

TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) is such an essential part of reducing cat and kitten intake at the only open intake shelter in Philadelphia ACCT Philly. It’s preventative, innovative and proven to reduce the number of cats and kittens being born on the streets.

Currently, and for an unknown amount of time, the shelter has stopped TNR due to lack of veterinary staff. We at Philadoptables had to do our part to assist and have been funding TNR surgeries.

Philadoptables purchased 50 vouchers so the community can alter cats at no charge. So far about half of the vouchers we have provided through Forgotten Cats have been redeemed by Philadelphia trappers and colony caretakers!

Please support TNR and assist those people in your community who trap and feed community cats!

2019 Philadoptables and Mac’s Fund Golf Outing Recap

Our first annual charity golf outing was a tremendous success! We had 68 golfers register and we had the most perfect weather possible for early April. We were also extremely appreciative for the generosity of all of the golfers. We raised a good amount of money to further our animal rescue activity. Cedarbrook Country Club in Blue Bell, PA is a private course that provided a very enjoyable experience that most would not enjoy without being a member. And did we mention the food?! We received an abundance of positive feedback that makes us very excited to hold our second annual Charity Golf Outing in 2020. Thank you to our title sponsor, Pet Valu, and to all who helped make this such an incredible event!
