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.

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.

C.A.R.E. Adoption Day 10/7/11

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 about our animals and about our spay and neuter program. If you're interested in adopting a new friend with four feet, or if you have questions about spaying and neutering, please stop by and talk to us.

Foster From a Friend

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.



My family fostered a kitten from the PSPCA who is now old enough to go to her permanent home! She is a brown tabby who was found by herself in North Philadelphia. She is litter trained and completely healthy.

She loves people and gets along with other cats as well as our 80 lb German Shepherd. This adorable kitten is content to sleep in your arms and loves company. She would be a great companion for any living situation.

The kitten was fostered through the Philadelphia SPCA, and needs to be spayed there. The kitten comes with a litter box and food and water bowls.

You can save this kitten’s life and be her best friend forever!

If interested, please call Chelsea at 610-787-0636 or email Gretchen_bedford@hotmail.com for details.

Two movie stars

Move over, Mary-Kate and Ashley! The Onyx Twins are here! Saturday and Sunday will steal the show! They are two precious sisters still looking for their forever home. They are beautiful with their shiny black and white coats. They are regal and lovely, and they are two special ladies indeed. They are a little bit older now than then last time we featured them. They are still kittens though.




They are full of energy, and more importantly, they are full of love. All they want to do is share that love with a special person. We know that it's not always easy to take two kittens at a time. However, we cannot separate these twins now. They are best friends, and they love each other very much. They wouldn't know what to do without the other. If you watch them play and snuggle with each other, you would be able to tell right away that they couldn't bear to be apart. You wouldn't want to be taken away from your best friend, would you? Well Saturday and Sunday want to stay together too. Besides, having two cute kitties will brighten you day; they will give you double the amount of love. Can't you please be the one who takes these sisters? We know the person who opens his or her home will have to be a special person.




And we only want a special person to contact us. Some people might think that black cats are bad luck. But isn't that ridiculous to think that way in 2010? Look at the faces of these kittens. How can they be anything but angels in disguise? Let them come into your life and be your special good luck charms. Do not reply unless you are a serious, responsible pet owner. We make home visits, and we check references. We will not adopt to people who will not provide the proper home, or who will not love these babies for life! Please e-mail us at carephilly@gmail.com or call 215-879-8645. Do something wonderful. Give these two girls a home.

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!

Stay Tuned!

Compassionate Animal Relief Effort, Inc. (C.A.R.E.)

C.A.R.E. is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization. Contributions directly benefit the animals and are tax deductible.

Pet Adoptions
Foster pets are made available for adoption at area veterinarian clinics and pet stores. Also look on our Petfinder and Facebook sites. Sam Sez also posts pictures of our available animals.

Humane Education
Our volunteers are out in the community on most weekends promoting responsible pet ownership practices, enlightening people to the reality of homeless animals, encouraging the spaying/neutering of all cats and dogs, and presenting foster animals for adoption at area veterinarian offices, pet centers, and special events.

Our all-volunteer group began as a food bank for homeless animals. For twelve years, we worked under the umbrella of a city shelter. This work contributed to the welfare of small animals in a number of significant ways: under writing facility improvements; offering low and no cost spay/neuter certifications and food supplies; and promoting humane education within the community.

In July 1995, our group was officially incorporated as Compassionate Animal Relief Effort, Inc. The focus of our effort is on the promotion of spay/neutering, as each year millions of cats and dogs are needlessly euthanized because of overpopulation. Additionally, we do limited rehabilitation of stray dogs and cats for adoption through our foster care program.

Spay/Neuter Program
Our organization offers low cost spay/neuter assistance for those who cannot afford this procedure. We also provide spay/neuter assistance for those caring for feral colonies. Over the years, the group has developed relationships with a large number of area veterinarians to provide safe procedures for animals in need of this service. To date, more than 7,500 pet owners have received assistance through our program.

Foster Care Program
A significant portion of our work is devoted to the rescue and fostering of stray cats and dogs. Foster animals are cared for by volunteers in their homes until permanent placements can be made. One notable effort took place in 1993: volunteers joined forces in the rescue, medical rehabilitation, and placement of 85 cats and kittens from one city residence. In past years, volunteers have performed the same services at other sites, one involving 29 cats and another 70 cats.

Our Goal
Each year the animal shelters in the city of Philadelphia euthanize thousands of healthy, adoptable animals simply because there are not enough homes for them. This problem is solvable; we already know the answer - Spay & Neuter - especially strays. The success of our program depends on us and you. We need your financial support to continue our work.

Please help us make Philadelphia a city where every animal has a home and "euthanasia" is only a word found in the dictionary.

Please care about these animals. We do.
