Philadoptables

Support for TNR

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.

Supporting Our Community During Kitten Season

The term “kitten season” may sound like a magical season filled with cute and cuddly baby felines. While baby cats are unbelievably cute, thousands of them can enter shelters within weeks, making kitten season the most challenging time of the year in rescues and shelters nationwide.

Here in Philly, since we experienced a warmer winter than usual, kitten season began early and animal welfare warriors felt the pressure sooner than expected.

With a warmer season and influx of new kittens, local resources were sparse and organizations had to provide even more care than usual.

We remain dedicated to supporting cats and kittens in our community and through kitten season outreach, we’re pleased to provide over $8,000+ to local organizations! To help our local rescue friends provide life-saving and critical care to breeding cats and kittens in need, we set out to support as many organizations as possible.

Thank you to our rescue friends listed below for their service and dedication to kitten season and our cat friends who need us most.

Interested in helping cats and kittens? You can help too! Donations and foster parents are needed now more than ever. By opening your heart and home up to a kitten (or a litter and maybe mama!) you not only save fragile lives, you also free up valuable resources in the sheltering community.

Helping Community Cats One Feline Friend at a Time

Recently we were contacted by our friend Pat M who was helping a community cat caretaker who found one of their feral cats in distress with an injured tail that was severely damaged and required a tail amputation.

With the help of Forgotten Cats, the cat had the tail amputation completed and after recovering, he will be released back to his colony.

Helping community cats is a big part of our mission and we are thankful to be able to pay for the tail amputation for this cat to make him more comfortable after sustaining this injury.

Community Cat Gets Lifesaving Care for Injured Paw

When Community Cat, Ashtar, found himself with an injured paw, a good Samaritan and cat lover reached out to Philadoptables for help!

One evening, Ashtar showed up for his nightly outdoor meal when his caregiver noticed he could hardly walk and had a severely swollen paw.
Concerned for his well-being, his caregivers immediately contacted us for help with his injury.

Here at Philadoptables, we love Community Cats and their well-being, especially this winter, is so important to us! We offered to cover Ashtar’s medical care and neuter surgery.

Thank you to his caregivers for going the extra mile to find help and care for him. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of Community Cats.

Philadoptables Sponsored Spay & Neuter Clinic – OVER 40 Cats Served

We are honored to donate $4,000 and sponsor a spay/neuter clinic for our friends at The Cat Collaborative!

From TCC, “FInishing out 2022 as strong as we started it! This past week, thanks to the generosity of Philadoptables, we were able to host a spay/neuter clinic at Raymond Rosen in North Philly! 36 cats were sterilized by the Fido Fixers van from Providence Animal Center and another 7 received updated vaccinations and flea treatment (Bravecto, no less)!! We were also able to send the cats home with a gift bag AND a carrier to keep (thanks to the generosity of many people and other groups).

The residents were so appreciative of our assistance and although we had to turn a number of people away because of we were totally over capacity, we ended up with a waiting list for the next event – now we just need a sponsor 🤪😻🤪😻!

And, finally, HUGE thanks to the incredible TCC volunteers who went above and beyond to make this event a success 💕💕💕. An additional 3 cats were trapped during the event who went to Forgotten Cats to get fixed making it a total of 46 cats who received care!! Isn’t it amazing what collaboration can do?!?! ❤️😻❤️😻❤️
