They're more than tasty snacks — they're valuable for training & behavioral enrichment, helping shy pets come out of their shells & encouraging pets w/ poor appetites eat much-needed calories.

Churu & Friskies are the most common brands used, but any wet food brand or "meat tube" treat is welcome!

Wishlist request from Moo Moo!

She inspected our supply of Churu treats & Friiskies wet food & issued a stern warning about how low we are.

We can't disappoint this tiny princess, and need your help to restock! 🧵

Want to learn more about ringworm?

Here’s a quick explainer ↓

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · Mar 11

🤔 What is ringworm? Here are some fast facts:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🔹 It’s a fungal infection of the skin that usually shows up as small patches of hair loss in pets⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🔹 It’s mild but contagious to people & pets, so a separate room for the cat is the best way to prevent spread

PAWS will provide you with all the support & medication you’ll need & after a little work up front, you’ll have an adorable tiny friend who thinks you’re the best person in the world 🩷

To foster or adopt a pair of these cuties, email [email protected] with the subject “ringworm kittens”!⁠⁠⁠⁠

Let’s find these babies some homes!

Our ringworm kittens are eager to leave the shelter behind & start their next chapter.

B/c they’re under medical isolation, they’re desperate for affection, so you’ll have a VERY grateful friend (or 2!) if you’re up for helping them finish their treatment 🧵

She is curious, playful & has enough energy to keep up with your outdoor adventures, but digs snuggling up on the couch just as much!

Her ideal home has easy outdoor access & will work with her to engage her curiosity ✨

She has so much love to give & forms the most beautiful bonds with her people.

Dreaming of a calm, loving companion to share the couch (and your heart) with? Enya’s your girl.

💛 Email [email protected] or [email protected] (her current foster) to learn more about this sweet angel.

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

Like many seniors, she has a few manageable conditions — chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism & arthritis — but she’s feeling great with daily care 💪

And to make sure her next chapter starts off strong, PAWS will send her home with 3 months’ worth of medication & a supply of her special diet.

1 1

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

She’s happiest when she’s with her people, snoozing, purring & reminding you love really is all we need (in addition to a cozy blanket, of course).

Enya may be in her golden years, but she’s living them to the fullest 💜

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

❣️ Warning: Adopting Enya may result in excessive snuggling & reduced productivity!

At 16 years young, this golden girl has perfected the art of affection.

Friendly, outgoing & irresistibly sweet, Enya is the kind of cat who’ll climb into your lap the moment you sit down and stay there for hours 🧵
