PAWS Cat of the Week

It's that time of year again: kitten season. That means that young kittens need foster care until they're big enough to be neutered/spayed and adopted, and older cats in Philadelphia's shelters are at even higher risk for euthanasia because of lack of space due to the deluge of kittens. PAWS gives these animals a chance at life by getting them out of the shelter and into caring homes. If you've thought about becoming involved as a volunteer or foster parent, now is the time. (If you have specific questions about fostering, you can contact PAWS's foster coordinator Robin at robin@phillypaws.org.) And as always, your thoughtful donations help keep PAWS able to do its fantastic work.

Roxie (ID# A07493241)

Roxie is a beautiful girl whom PAWS saved from a high-kill shelter back in April. She has the most beautiful green eyes, which she uses to take in the world around her; she's the "quiet observer" type. She's 1 to 2 years old, spayed, up to date on her shots, and FeLV/FIV/Heartworm negative. This gorgeous, mellow girl is ready for a forever home—and with her easygoing personality, maybe your home is ready for her.

If you'd like more information about Roxie, e-mail alamond@phillypaws.org. You can find Roxie at the PAWS Adoption Center, which is located at 100 N. 2nd Street (the corner of 2nd and Arch). Also, make note of Roxie's ID number above, and bring it with you when you go to the adoption center. Adoption hours are Mon.-Sat., 11 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sun., 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
