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:

Adoption Day Follow Up

Rocky



C.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. He's about four years old and he has a food allergy, so he needs to eat special food. He's fine other than his allergy, so he'll make a great companion for someone who can give him a home.


Valerie


Valerie has come with us to adoptions before, so she's a professional now. She knows that when she sits in her cage and looks adorable, nobody can resist her pretty face. Before long, Valerie ends up getting some attention. She's about a year old, and she's looking for her forever family.

If you're interested in adopting Rocky or Valerie, Please email carephilly@gmail.com or call 215-462-1889.

Friends of the Family

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 are 7 year old male kitties. They can be separated if necessary, but if a loving person can take both of these boys, that would be even better.

Pooky is a special needs cat. He is a diabetic and he must have 2 shots of insulin a day. His owner said that she is willing to pay for his medicine for a year if the right person came along to give him a home. He is very sweet and affectionate; he adores having his belly scratched and rubbed. He actually lies down and waits for you to scratch his belly! He loves when it's bed time because he loves to sleep at your feet. What more can you ask for in a fur friend? Since he has special needs, he needs a special person. If you're that person, PLEASE HELP! E-mail carephilly@gmail.com for more information.

The guy in the pictures below is Pixie, and he also needs a home. Pixie is 7 years old and he likes to play with little spongy balls. He insists on being close to you when he is sleeping. He is a sweetie pie, and he is very affectionate. He jumps onto your lap! What can be better in this life than having a cat who likes to jump onto your lap? Once again, even though he and Pooky are friends, they can be separated if necessary. If you can take both of these guys, that would make their day. Please contact us at carephilly@gmail.com if you are interested in giving Pixie and/or Pooky a home. You can also find us and like us on Facebook.

13th Annual Pet Walk Photos-Fun in the Park!!

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 some of the pictures from the walk.

And the fun continues......

Thanks to all....

Take me home

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. His owner has to move, and the people where she is moving don't want Grey. He was originally rescued from the streets by his owner. He survived the city streets and he must have thought that he found his forever home when the lady took him in. Now he is facing the biggest battle of his life, because he has to find a home before his time runs out. It is a shame that he is going be put down because nobody will give him a home. He is loving and would be a great pal. He just needs a lot of attention and love. He will give you back love and attention. Since he is positive, he has to be placed in a home with another leukemia positive cat, or in a home by himself. If you are truly an animal lover, and you have a means to help Grey, please contact us ASAP. Grey will be put down very soon if a home is not found. True animal lovers will want to help this guy if they can. It's not fair that his life has to be over because he is unwanted. Contact us by going to our petfinder page at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/PA166.html where you will see more information about Grey and our other animals, or email us at carephilly@gmail.com or careinc@live.com. Contact phone number is on the petfinder page. This plea for Grey's life is one of our biggest pleas. Please help us give this wonderful cat another chance to live.

Stella, the Diva Kitty

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 will love her forever. She gives nothing but love, and should receive love in return.



Stella did very well in the car, and didn't get sick or scared. Miss Stella is a diva. She's fabulous, and she knows it! She likes showing off, playing with her sisters, and especially getting attention from her foster mom. A diva wants royal treatment! That's why she needs to be placed in a home where her people will love her, pamper her, and take care of her forever. If you need a smile on your face, or you need to laugh a little, Stella is the one for the job. Though she does well with other pets, we think she would greatly enjoy being the only pet--simply because she has to be the one who takes center stage! How can you resist such a cute little girl? If you'd like to adopt Stella, please contact us at carephilly@gmail.com or call her foster mom at 215-879-8645. Stella is waiting for you!

Little Ones

The little ones still need homes! They are all starting to develop great personalities. They need their own families, though. Please call us or e-mail us if you would like to open your home to one of our kittens. Or maybe you can take two! Our cute little girl pictured here has a sister who looks just like her. They pal around together, and would like to go to a home together if possible. If you can only take one, we will understand that as well. There is also a gray sister and a gray and white sister. Give these girls a chance. Their foster mom can't keep them, and they're too wonderful not to get families of their own. Please e-mail us at carephilly@gmail.com, or call 215-879-8645.
