Questions & Answers

I will like to know if. It true the $20.00 spray for cat and should u. Make a Appt

Iris Velez | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 24, 2018

As far as I know, yes it is true but to make sure call them at the phone number listed here, go over there in person or visit their website. In this way, you can also make an appointment for whatever your cat needs. Good luck!

I wanted more info on the $20 spay and neuter. I read something on a FB page. Do I need to make an apt?

Maria Colon | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 24, 2018

I would suggest that you go directly to the shelter and speak to someone at the front counter, call them or go to their website for more information.

How much does the cat vaccinations cost.

Joan Crpmmarty | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 23, 2020

I am not sure how much they charge for shots here but I suggest that you go speak to someone from the reception desk personally, call them at the number they have here or check their website for more information.

How much is it to fix a kitten and get shots? I know they don't declaw cats now but there is a procedure they do so their nails don't come out. How much is that also and do you do it.

Tracey Volkman | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 24, 2018

I am not really sure to tell you the hard truth but I suggest that you go to this facility in person and speak to an animal care technician at the front counter because only they can answer all your questions with accuracy and precision. Good luck!

I'm looking for a free dog to help me out with my PTSD. Can someone please help me out ?

WILLIAM QUINN (Will) | Sep 23, 2021
Tlarock | Sep 23, 2021

I believe that the right dog will come to you eventually. You just have to out it out there. like you have done here. but if your main concern for the dog is that it's free and you want it to be for the purpose of relief from anxiety associated to your PTSD. you night want to think it over and do some research into the type of dog that would be best suited for you because unless your ready... dogs can be a source of anxiety if you don't care for them properly feeding, fresh water, attention and excercise and proper health care and visits to the vet are the basics for having a happy dog for a happy you. I wish you luck and I would check out the community section on Craigslist and PAWS and the local animal shelter. rescue a dog from being put down and that dog will love you and make you feel secure and help with your PTSD. I am not a doctor or a vet or anything like that but I know dogs and I would get rid of it he word free and replace it with rescue or service or shelter.

Can you adopt any day of the week

Penny Burt | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 24, 2018

As a general rule, these institutions allow you to adopt any day of the week as long as you do it during normal business hours. Gut it wouldn't hurt if you go to the front counter of this facility and ask someone for sure. Good luck to you and I hope that you find the pet of your dreams very soon!

Does anyone have a puppy that we can adopt?

Jason Lidovitch | Sep 23, 2020

Hi , My granddaughter got a rabbit for xmas , So I was wondering how much will it cost for me to get the rabbit its shots and to get it fixed

Marie Collacchi | Sep 24, 2018
Miriam Leon | Sep 24, 2018

I think you would have to pay from $20.00 to $125.00 for the spay and nuter surgery, but to make sure I am giving you the correct answer I strongly suggest that you go to this facility in person on Tuesday because they might close tomorrow. and ask someone at the front counter about the vouchers for this surgery. Don't forget to take an identification with you such as your driver's license and a bill from the gas company or from the department of water and power to see if you qualify for this discount. You can try calling them tomorrow at the number listed here on the map or go to their website if you want. But I strongly advise that you go over their in person so that they can explain everything to you in more detail. Good luck!

Sin The Black Rose | Jul 25, 2022

I'm not sure they do puppies in this particular site, mostly cats, unless there's an adoption event. For adoptions cost you can visit their website for more info.

Hi wanted to know if this place houses dogs temporarily? I’m making a big move to VA & needed them looked after for about a 4 days until I finish moving things down south . Any info please let me know they are loving dogs thanks 🙏🏾

PAWS Adoption Center | Jun 25, 2022

Hi - we are not a boarding facility. Your veterinarian may have recommendations for where the dogs could be boarded while you move. There are several reputable providers in the area. Good luck! (And this particular PAWS location only houses cats for adoption, but we have many dogs looking for loving homes. They are located in our main shelter and in foster homes. Please visit phillypaws.org/adopt/dogs to see them!)

Uri Johnson | Nov 27, 2021

Yes there's an adoption fee. Their prices are online. All animals come spayed/neutered with all vaccines etc. You also have to apply for adoption. They don't give animals to just anyone.

Is there an adoption fee?

moussa_gaming_4_life-TTV “moussa_gaming_4_life-TTV” | Sep 23, 2021
Brent Adams | Sep 23, 2021

Yes of course. It cost money to vaccinate and fix these animals. A fee paid also indicates that you are serious about getting an animal. A free to good home cat usually ends up being used as bait in dog fighting rings, target practice for guns etc. Paws gets no Federal, State, or local funding it's all run on donations. So when you pay an adoption fee it helps save other animals.

I'm pretty sure that you have to be at least 18 years old to volunteer. However, I would check the website just to be sure. PAWS might have special opportunities available for younger people interested in volunteering I might not know of.

Sunnah Lady | Sep 24, 2019
Candace Vasquez | Sep 24, 2019

No. Most shelters do not have special breed cats. You should reconsider buying a Siamese--they have a handful of health issues and it's better animals not suffer just because someone wants a cat bred to have a certain look.

I just moved into a house in south philly and found 2 adults and 4 kittens in the yard. I am unable to keep them and it doesn't seem like they will leave voluntarily. I think the former renters left them. Where can I take them? They are cute cats.

Laura Evans | Sep 24, 2018
James Jackson | Sep 24, 2018

You can take them to paws, but be sure they are actually house cats before taking them in for adoption... If they are afraid of humans they may be outdoors cats who should be taken in for neutering and returned to their environment when done

Bubba Gump | Sep 24, 2018
Josh F | Sep 24, 2018

They won't declaw, and a lot of places won't any more because of how it affects the cats. I'm just some dude on the internet, but my advice is: 1) try getting anti-scratching spray and spray it on the spots they claw at 2) getting scratching posts/scratching pads near the things they scratch. 3) trimming their nails regularly (sometimes a major battle)
