End of the Year Message

It is the time of year when things are winding down, work slows down and people are enjoying time with their pets, family and friends. We are too but also doing some 2025 planning! This year the work that we were able to do and the animals that we were able to help exceeded our expectations and plans for 2024.

We get so busy with our jobs and our own pets and family we sometimes forget to let all of you know what we’re working on. In 2024 we have donated over $45,000 YTD to help animals in the Philly Metro area.

We spent over $9,000 helping community cats. If you didn’t know, community cats are cats that live outside and do not have an owner. This $9,000 was used for spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and urgent medical care.

We spent over $6,000 on community outreach- helping pets and their people in need of food, supplies, and other things meant to keep pets in their homes.

One of the things that’s near and dear to our heart is helping animals get out of the Philadelphia open intake shelter, ACCT Philly. This year we more than doubled the amount of money we donated toward medical care to rescues to help urgent cats, dogs and other animals make it out of the shelter. This year’s number was over $22,000!

These are just a couple of the things that we work on behind the scenes and we’d never be able to do it without support from all of you so thank you! Thank you for coming to our events, buying our merchandise, donating to our fundraisers, and just being there for us. If you like what we do and you are able, please consider making a year-end donation toward our 2025 life-saving work. www.philadoptables.org

Meet Bell, the Resilient Philly Cat on Her Road to Recovery

At Philadoptables, we believe every animal deserves a chance at health, happiness, and love. Today, we’d like you to meet Bell, a loving community cat in Philadelphia who reminded us all why we do what we do.

For over 12 years, Bell has been a well-known and well-loved member of her community. Her caring feeder has provided her with meals and kept her safe throughout the years. But recently, Bell’s feeder noticed something wasn’t right—she wasn’t feeling well and clearly needed medical attention.

With your contributions, Bell was seen at World of Animals Veterinary Hospital in Mayfair, where she received the medical treatment she needed to start her path toward recovery. Today, Bell is feeling better, safe, and comfortable indoors while she heals—and her feeder has decided she will remain indoors for the rest of her life.

You Make Stories Like Bell’s Possible

Bell’s story is a testament to the power of community and compassion. When you donate to Philadoptables, you’re not just helping animals like Bell—you’re helping ensure that every animal in need gets access to lifesaving care.

  • Loving feeders and caretakers can continue providing for Philly’s community animals without financial strain.
  • Homeless animals can find food, care, and safe shelter.

Unleashing Love: Shorty’s Inspiring Journey of Nurturing Elderly Cats

Introducing Shorty, a remarkable 17-year-old community cat who has captured the hearts of those in his neighborhood. This senior feline’s charisma and fighting spirit are testament to his strong will to thrive, despite his age and the health challenges it brings.

Shorty’s dedicated community caretaker recognized his urgent need for veterinary care and responded with compassion and urgency. When Shorty’s caretaker recognized his need for medical care, Philadoptables was ready to help. Our organization, driven by compassion and supported by community involvement, stepped in to cover the costs associated with Shorty’s veterinary needs, demonstrating how collective action can transform lives. We are thrilled to report that Shorty has received a comprehensive health exam, a rabies vaccine, attention for his ingrown nails, as well as treatment for a lump on his body.

Making a Difference

While Shorty still requires some dental work, we can confidently say he’s in a far better state than he was before. We look forward to seeing him continue to flourish and warm the hearts of those around him. Shorty’s journey is a shining example of the impact made when a community comes together for a common cause.

Every action you take, whether it’s donating, volunteering or fostering, could become a lifeline for a senior pet in need. A seemingly small act of kindness can illuminate their world. Each contribution, regardless of its size, is a precious drop in the ocean of change we are building. Together, we can make a truly impactful and heartwarming difference. Your support can help us transform lives, one senior pet at a time.

Here are some ways you can help:

  • Donate: Your gift to Philadoptables goes directly toward helping Philadelphia’s homeless animals.
  • Volunteer: Your time at local shelters or rescues to provide much-needed care and attention.
  • Foster: Fostering provides a second chance for many dogs and cats to find a loving home. 
  • Adopt: You’ll save a life, plus help to combat pet overcrowding and puppy mills

Meet Senior Spartan: A Journey of Hope and Compassion

In the world of animal rescue, every story is a testament to resilience and the power of compassion. This is particularly true for senior animals, who often face unique challenges in their golden years. Today, we want to share the heartwarming story of Spartan, a 14-year-old senior pup whose life took an unexpected turn only to be met with kindness from a caring community. Spartan’s story begins in less-than-ideal circumstances. Surrendered to a city shelter due to multiple health issues, he found himself in a new and unfamiliar environment. With no appetite, hair loss, and digestive problems, Spartan’s road ahead seemed daunting. But his story doesn’t end there.

Enter Senior Dog Haven and Hospice, a dedicated rescue organization committed to giving senior dogs the second chance they deserve. Recognizing Spartan’s potential for recovery, they quickly intervened to pull him from the shelter, securing a foster home where he could begin his healing process.

Rescuing a senior dog like Spartan is not without its challenges. Medical care for older pets can be costly, often requiring specialized treatments and regular veterinary visits. But thanks to the generosity of donors, organizations like Senior Dog Haven and Hospice can continue their vital work. We were thrilled to contribute to Spartan’s medical fund, ensuring he received the care he needed to start his recovery.

Making a Difference

Spartan’s story is a reminder of the incredible impact that compassion and community support can have on the lives of our furry friends. For pet lovers and animal welfare advocates, this is an opportunity to reflect on how we can each play a part in similar narratives.

Whether it’s through donating, volunteering, or fostering, your involvement could mean the world to a senior pet in need. Every contribution, no matter the size, adds up to make a significant difference.

If Spartan’s story resonates with you, consider supporting your local senior dog rescue or animal shelter.

Here are some ways you can help:

  • Donate: Your gift to Philadoptables goes directly toward helping Philadelphia’s homeless animals.
  • Volunteer: Your time at local shelters or rescues to provide much-needed care and attention.
  • Foster: Fostering provides a second chance for many dogs and cats to find a loving home.
