My organization tries to help kitties like me find forever homes. Our mission is to let people know that spaying and neutering their pets will reduce overpopulation--and then there will be fewer homeless and unwanted animals on the streets!Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08894401301643186985noreply@blogger.comBlogger341100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688026546039717294.post-58909114611318987062011-10-08T14:34:00.013-04:002011-10-08T15:05:13.436-04:00

RockyC.A.R.E. had an adoption day yesterday, October 7, 2011, in front of Queen Village Animal Hospital. We wanted to find some homes for our rescues, and we also wanted to meet people and talk about our spay and neuter program. We brought Rocky and Valerie with us; both of these cats are still looking for their special homes. Rocky was a star. He really liked it when people came by to pet him

On Friday, October 7, 2011, C.A.R.E. will be in front of Queen Village Animal Hospital (323 Bainbridge Street- Philadelphia, PA). We've recently found some lovely homes for our rescues, and we would like to find even more homes. We'll be there after 9:30 a.m. It looks like the weather is going to be gorgeous, so unless that changes, we'll be there. We love meeting people and talking to them

We are pleased to announce that Simon and Theodore have found their forever home! These two brothers have been waiting for three years for a special place of their own. The waiting paid off because they found the best home in the world. We are so happy that our two snuggly guys have a family now. Hooray!

I just got a phone call from another friend of C.A.R.E. She told me that she rescued 5 kittens. They were found in a box in the parking lot of a shopping center. Someone apparently simply left them there. Thank goodness that my friend was shopping today and that her friend told her about these babies. The kittens are safe and are being fostered. Their foster mom said that they seem to be doing

A friend asked if I could post some pictures to C.A.R.E.'s blog. These pictures are of two wonderful cats that need a home. They are not being fostered by C.A.R.E., but they need their forever home(s), and I thought that I could put out the word. Their owner can no longer care for them, and they are likely to be put down if a family is not found. Their names are Pixie and Pooky, and they

The kitten that we featured in the blog the other day has found a home. Her foster parents, who are friends of C.A.R.E., told us that this cute kitten who they called Lu Lu, found her forever family. We're thrilled for Lu Lu, and we hope that she'll be happy with her people. Hooray for little Lu Lu! It's always a good day when a homeless animal gets adopted. Please consider adopting a pet in

A friend of C.A.R.E. is currently fostering a kitten that is now available for adoption. This kitten is two months old and has a dynamic personality. She likes people, other cats, and even dogs. Please see the information below for more details. This information was written and given to us by the foster. If you wish to adopt this kitty, kindly call the the number on the bottom of this post.

Summer has been pretty wonderful so far, especially for C.A.R.E. adoption days. We were at Queen Village Animal Hospital again last week. Once again, we were in the front of the office meeting nice people and trying to find forever homes for our wonderful kitties. Now that Panda has found his home, Simon and Theodore are looking forward to finding their special family too. As you can see, they

This year's Pet Walk was a lot of fun! The walk was held on May 21, 2011 at FDR Park. The weather was great and we enjoyed our day. We would like to thank everyone who came out to the park; we would also like to thank the people who couldn't make it to the park, but who still contributed. We appreciate everyone's kindness. Please check in for future C.A.R.E. events. Until then, check out

They want a family who will take them both and love them. We know that they are more than just a Christmas gift, because they are a FOREVER gift!

Please help Grey. He is about 4 years old, and is a leukemia positive cat that is in urgent need of a home. He's doing really well, even though he is positive. If he doesn't find a home soon, he is going to be put down. He's not going to be put to sleep because he is positive; rather he is being put down because he is no longer wanted.

They are about 11 weeks old, and are playful and fun just as kittens are supposed to be. They love doing everything together, and snuggle with each other every day.

Her foster mom took her in and cleaned her up and gave her some food and some mother's cat milk. Solo is about 12 weeks old, and she is a beautiful little girl. She needs a home....and once you meet her, you will want that home to be yours

Miss Stella went for a ride in the car today. She is the sweetest little kitty, and too pretty for words. These photos don't do her justice. She is still looking for her forever home. She is lovable, and enjoys being held. She will snuggle right into you, and purr in your ear. We think she might end up being someone's lap cat. She is so terrific that she truly deserves to find a family who

Once again in this blog, we have to mention that we still have some kittens available for adoption. All of the kittens are girls. We discovered this information during their first vet visit. The kittens are now nine weeks old, and are in desperate need of loving homes. Though one of the C.A.R.E. volunteers is fostering the girls, she won't be able to do so for much longer. The cats all have

C.A.R.E. has some new kittens. One of our volunteers found six kitties that are in need of homes A.S.A.P. We think someone may have dumped them off. They are six weeks old, and are just precious. We can't believe that anyone would just leave these cute creatures. They all have their own personalities, and they love people. Their foster moms say that they are running around and enjoying the

C.A.R.E. currently has six kittens available for adoption. They are six weeks old, and are in need of loving homes. They were found, luckily by a C.A.R.E. volunteer.

On May 22, 2010, C.A.R.E. held its annual pet walk at FDR Park in South Philadelphia. Every year, C.A.R.E. holds this event to promote its spay and neuter program. The group knows that the problem of animal overpopulation is very real--but also controllable--if people would only spay and neuter their pets. The walk's proceeds directly benefit this spay and neuter program, which also includes

C.A.R.E. appeared at the Pine St. Flea Market on May 8, 2010. It was a great success! We got to meet new friends and neighbors, and we were able to talk to people about spaying and neutering their pets. We were thrilled to see that so many people in the community share our mission--so many people realize the importance of spaying and neutering to reduce the overpopulation of animals.We also
