Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society

PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is Philadelphia's largest no-kill shelter and is working to make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year.In March 2010, PAWS opened a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter and wellness clinic serving pet owners and rescues in an effort to keep pets healthy and reduce the homeless pet population. Located in the Grays Ferry section of the city, the Clinic serves pet owners who have difficulty affording or do not have access to basic veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, treatments for upper respiratory infections/parasites/fleas, etc.) and rescue organizations that need affordable spay/neuter surgery and basic veterinary care to carry out their lifesaving work. Support for PAWS funds lifesaving initiatives including adoption and foster care programs, spay/neuter surgeries, low-cost vaccinations, and other efforts, all of which help reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of Philadelphia's animals. Donations to PAWS are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Meet Tuna

Catch of the day? Try catch of a lifetime! Tuna nets plenty of attention with his irresistibly chubby cheeks and fetching eyes, and he backs up those looks with a sweet and affectionate persona that he masks with his shy nature. After being found and trapped in an abandoned home around mid-January, Tuna was treated for a kitty cold for a few weeks, but he's feeling alright now! Tuna was a tad slow to come out of hiding and seek attention, but after he settles in Tuna starts begging for as many face scritches and pets as you have the strength and time to offer! A future lap cat in waiting, Tuna would make a great addition to most homes, though we are recommending one with older and cat savvy kids due to his nervous nature at the start. He was trapped along with one other cat in that abandoned home, but we haven't directly witnessed him with other animals and couldn't say how he would feel about sharing space with cats or dogs.    Age: ~4 years old How I came to PAWS: Found Stray Animal ID#: A53447 Meet me at: PAWS Adoption Center 100 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 ​215-238-9901 ext.30 **Our Old City Adoption Center is now re-opened, but with limited capacity (maximum occupancy of 9 people including staff/volunteers)! We are prioritizing any appointments made by already approved applicants, but can entertain browsers and walk-ins as that capacity allows (we just can't promise any same day adoptions).
