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 Simon

Simon says..adopt me! This pretty Persian purrbot is patiently pretending he doesn't prefer being the prize possession of his new people/person. Pshaw! Simon was surrendered recently to PAWS, so despite not being able to stay in that home he did get enough time with his former family to know what it's like to be loved and adored. He also was very well socialized with pretty much everything and everyone, happily living with other cats, guinea pigs, small dogs, and small humans. Seriously, what more can you ask for?!? He would obviously do well in a wide variety of homes, but would do best in one where he can have the same level of constant companionship he grew up around.  Being a Persian, he would need some special attention and medical care throughout his life (nothing substantial, just a bit more detailed than your average feline). Brachycephalic breeds such as this are more prone to issues with their eyes (large, exposed eyes in a smooshed face), skin (the folds of their smooshed face), and breathing (smooshed face...I think we mentioned the smooshed face?). Having a good, established relationship with a full service vet would be a key part of his best life!   Age: ~3 years old How I came to PAWS: Owner Surrender Animal ID#: A180605 Meet me at: PAWS Adoption Center 100 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 ​215-238-9901 ext.30 **Our Old City Adoption Center prioritizes appointments made by already approved applicants, but we can accommodate browsers and walk-ins if and as our capacity allows.
