Adopt a PAWS Shelter Animal

Fund for Animals founder and author Cleveland Amory wrote a book called "The Cat Who Came for Christmas" wherein he humorously relates his life with Polar Bear a stray white cat that he rescued from off the streets of New York. The last paragraph reads  

"...I hope even more that those of you who have never had an animal will hie yourselves to the nearest shelter, and adopt one. If you do, you will surely find that that animal will give you, every day of his or her life, not only joy and companionship, but also that very special kind of love which can be understood...only by those fortunate enough ever to have been owned by one."

A second noteworthy quote is from a sign posted beside the entrance to the Black Beauty Ranch - an animal sanctuary established by the Fund for Animals:

"I have nothing to fear. And here my story ends.
My troubles are all over, and I am at home."
- Last line from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

As best expressed by Amory and Sewell, we continue to hope for a guardian and a good home for every shelter animal and stray still out there.

Please visit the Philippine Animal Welfare Society Adoption Page if you are interested in adopting one of the adorable cats or dogs from the PAWS Shelter. Featured here are a few of the more than 200 shelter cats in desperate need of a loving home. (Original text and images displayed below were provided by PAWS.)

If you are not personally looking to adopt a shelter animal at the moment but would still like to help, then please do share these shelter cats' stories with your online social networks.

A NOTE FROM PAWS:  Shelter cat numbers have reached an all-time high of 243. And what a time to have an all-time low in terms of cat adoptions - so far - only TWO cats have been adopted for the month of June. Please help us get more cats adopted.

PAWS is also in need of

• CAT FOOD DONATIONS - Shelter cats consume 22kgs of dry cat kibble a day. PAWS buys "Princess" cat food because it is the cheapest at P1,900 per 22kg sack
• DOG COLLARS - Aspin size
• DOG LEASHES
• CAT QUARANTINE CAGES - We need to buy a specific size of cage and can get a discount from the cage supplier. One cage is approximately P2000 and you may ask possible donors to coordinate with philpaws@yahoo.com if they want to be purchasing the cages themselves and bringing them to PARC.
• FRONTLINE SPOT-ON - for medium-sized dogs.
