Kittens in Need
Boosting the signal for anyone in the Philadelphia area…
I’ve mentioned PAWS here before - they are Philly’s largest no-kill animal shelter, and they are currently in desperate need of people willing to foster litters of kittens until they are old enough for adoption. Summer and spring are “kitten season” and PAWS and animal control are both at full capacity. According to the recent plea PAWS sent out, “there are between 50-60 litters at any given time in need of rescue.”
So, if you live in the Philly area and you’ve ever considered fostering or adopting kittens, now is the time. There are also plenty of dogs in need of fostering and adoption as well, if cats just aren’t your thing. If you’re interested, or you know anyone who is interested:
• contact Sue Durphy, PAWS’ foster care coordinator, at sue@phillypaws.org
• visit PAWS’ Wellness Clinic at 2900 Grays Ferry Ave. between 11 and 6 any day of the week
• contact Natalie Smith, ACCT Manager of Lifesaving, at nsmith@pspca.org
• visit ACCT at 111 W. Hunting Park Ave. between 9 and 6 any day of the week
If you aren’t able to foster any animals, you can still help by donating items from PAWS’ wishlist on Amazon, or making a donation directly to PAWS’ via their website.
Several of my co-workers regularly foster kittens, and I’ve been lucky enough to help them out on occasion. Two pictures below the cut to shamelessly tug at your heartstrings. Seriously, unless you hate cuteness, it’s almost impossible to look at these cats and not immediately fall in love…
Feel free to re-post, or pass this info along to anyone who might be interested.
