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?!?! ❤️😻❤️😻❤️

Board Member, Ali Swiatkowski and Rescue Pup Ember Visit PHL17

Board member, Ali Swiatkowski, was featured on PHL17 with adoptable pup, Ember, from Furry Tales Animal Rescue this Friday morning to promote the 2023 Hunks for Hounds calendar. (Read the full PHL17 article here)

Ember is sweet girl rescued as a stray from Texas.  She was taken to a shelter in very poor health with mange, eye and ear infections and severely emaciated.  Thankfully, Furry Tales Animal Rescue stepped in and had her transported to Pennsylvania where she has spent the last few weeks recovering with her foster mom, Gina.  Ember is approximately 4 years old, still underweight at 45 lbs, and thought to be a lab mix.  She is good with other dogs (she currently lives with two) and with kids.  She’s very calm and loves to relax on the couch and snuggle. 

Ember may not be immediately ready for adoption, but if you are interested or have questions, please contact Furry Tales Animal Rescue.  Please check them out on Facebook too.

Pledges to Save ‘Rubble’ in Urgent Need of Care

Rubble, now Rebel, was running stray and ended up at ACCT at risk of euthanasia due to medical and behavioral concerns.

She needed confirmed placement with a rescue partner ASAP and quickly, a rescue stepped up to care for her!

After seeing her sweet face, full of scars and wounds, we just knew we had to donate toward her rescue.

Our pledge of $400 went to our friends at National Greyhound Adoption Program.

Read her story below and send this sweet girl well wishes to feel better soon!

“Rubble is an adult mixed breed dog who was found as a stray on 10/26. Luckily, she was microchipped, so we were able to reach out to the owner, however, unfortunately they were not able to reclaim due to health issues. They stated that Rubble is friendly and usually social with people. She is “does not care much for interaction” with other animals. The owner also said she has very bad skin allergies.

A medical exam showed that Rubble has severe, chronic superficial pyoderma and malassezia dermatitis, as well as bilateral ear infections. Per the vet, she will need further diagnostics to rule out an issue secondary to underlying atopy or food allergy, or flea allergy vs. demodectic or sarcoptic mange vs. another issue. She will require prolonged courses of antibiotics and antifungals, as well as possible chronic allergy treatment or a specialized diet. Medicated baths would be ideal, as would the application of Bravecto to rule out mange, despite a negative skin scraping.

While still a little fearful (understandably in the shelter environment!), Rubble seems to be adjusting slowly to the shelter environment, and has made both human and doggie friends! She has seemed thrilled to play with dog friends during meets. She urgently needs to leave with a rescue partner who can follow up on her medical issues, and also work with her on her fearfulness. She has been through a lot in a short space of time, so would love to be able to decompress and recover from her medical issues.”

Kricket Comedy Club Event

This event was a blast and thank you so much to Eddie, Buddy, and Keith who brought tears to our eyes!

The venue was beautiful and we appreciate everyone who came out. All proceeds from the evening went Tiny Paws Rescue for pups in need!
