Adorable Kitty Needs Your Help!

A friend of C.A.R.E. contacted us about this adorable orange guy who she found  outside right before the hurricane.  He was with a friend, but that kitty found her own forever home.  The lady took him in as a foster, but he needs a forever home too.  He also has some issues with his teeth that will need addressing, so the person who takes him in must also being willing to help him with his special needs. He deserves a chance and will only be placed in a loving home. He is a young male, neutered, and seems to be very sweet. If you can help, please contact us at carephilly@gmail.com.

Can you resist this face? Give him a loving home!

Atlas Update

We are very happy to announce that Atlas found his forever home!!!!  Yay, Atlas! We hope you have a great time with your new family.  You deserve the very best!!

Atlas Will Rock Your Universe

A friend of C.A.R.E. asked us to post some information about a dog she is fostering. His name is Atlas, and he is an adorable guy.  How can you look at this boy's ears and not fall in love? How can you look at his face and not smile with him? His brother found a home, but poor Atlas didn't. With those loving eyes, he is sure to be your next best friend.  He came a long way to find a forever home, and he only deserves a loving and responsible one. Only serious inquires please.  Please see original information below as given to us by Atlas' foster mom:

Looking to Adopt a Dog?

Adopt Atlas!
Atlas is a 2 year, 50lb, corgi/husky mix who came from a high-kill shelter down in South Carolina when his family dropped him and his brother off
because they couldn't afford to care for them anymore. His brother got adopted but Atlas had to make the long trip north to spend some time in foster before finding his forever home.

Atlas is an adorable, mellow sweetheart with a sweet face and goofy Gizmo ears. He loves the company of other dogs and would love the company of cats if they wanted anything to do with him. He just stands there and whines at my cat for attention but is not pushy/aggressive in the least towards her. He walks fairly well on a leash and seems to have a good foundation for being fully house trained. He responds well to his name and redirection.

Atlas has a great attitude for undergoing so many different moves in the last few months, and I think he'd do great in almost any living situation. Atlas is available for adoption through Almost Home Dog Rescue. You can read about their adoption guidelines here:

14th Annual Spay A Stray Pet Walk

It's time again for C.A.R.E.'s annual Spay A Stray Pet Walk! It's hard to believe that the walk is here again, but that means it is the spring. And it means that we will be out and about meeting our friends for this yearly event. The walk will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012 from 10am to 1pm. The walk is at FDR Park (Broad and Pattison Aves.) Philadelphia, PA. There will be games, refreshments, and a toy for each pet on the day of the walk. Wendy Young, professional dog trainer and a friend of C.A.R.E, will also be there again this year to give complimentary lessons to your pets. Bring your friends and family (especially the ones with 4 feet). Please help make our 14th annual walk a success. All proceeds benefit our spay/neuter program and are tax deductible. If you have any questions or would like to to be a walker, please call 215-462-1889. You can walk with or without a pet. If you can't walk, you can sponsor a walker. Or you can sponsor the spaying or neutering of an animal. We hope to see you at the park!

 

I am wishing that we see you at the walk this year! 

Mya Update

 Adopted!

Original Post
A friend of ours asked us to post some more information about Mya, the adorable kitten that was found in the Poconos. Mya was spayed and she is making an excellent recovery. She is also now up to date on shots including rabies and is FIV/FELV. She is a little cutie and is still looking for her forever home. If you would like to adopt Mya, please contact us at carephilly@gmail.com.

Little Miss Mya

A friend of CARE asked us to post these pictures of Mya, a sweet kitten she recently found.

Mya is about 4 months old and is a tabby. She is an absolutely gorgeous cat. Our friend found her on a farm in the Poconos. Mya was emaciated and freezing when our friend discovered her. But she must have known that our friend was going to take her out of that situation because she jumped right in the car and was ready to go!

Our friend said that Mya is one of the sweetest kittens she has ever encountered. She's a lap cat and she always sleeps curled up against your legs. She gets along very well with other cats, but she seems to be afraid of dogs. She is litterbox trained and eats dry and wet food. She was lucky enough to find a person who wanted to help her. Now she needs a forever home. Please give her a home! She will have all shots and be spayed before adoption. Please look at Mya's pictures... and admit it, you know you will fall in love with her! If you would like to adopt Mya, please contact us at carephilly@gmail.com.
