A kitten low on brain cells? Delightful. A shelter low on supplies? Disastrous! We're in urgent need of kitten food, paper towels & churu treats to keep our furry friends fed, clean & thriving. If you can send or drop off supplies, Sawyer & her friends would be very grateful! 🧵

Have room for an adorable roomie (or 2!) & down to party with a piggie for a few weeks? We’d love to match you with a guinea pig to foster (or adopt)! We can also provide supplies to fosters if it's your first time taking home a guinea 🐽 💌 Interested? Email foster@phillypaws.org to learn more!

Looking for a new friend, but want to start small? Take home a piggy pal like Pepita! We have lots of little ones who’d love to add some snuggles & squeaks to your life. Fosters are needed now so we can rescue even more piggies who need us 🧵

Though his long-term prognosis could change, he’s currently a happy, thriving boy thanks to his daily medication & special diet. In return, you’ll get a once-in-a-lifetime companion who thinks you’re the best person in the world. 💌 Want to learn more? Drop us a line at adoptions@phillypaws.org!

At 2-3 years old, Bubba has lots of goofy enthusiasm but channels it well when training treats are involved. He’s house-trained, does well free-roaming at home & even puts himself to bed in his crate! Bubba is looking for someone who can give a little extra TLC due to a congenital heart defect ❤️‍🩹

140

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Per his foster, Bubba is “a baby in a big guy’s body” who approaches every day with joy & every human with love. When he isn’t charming everyone he meets, he’s usually busy goofing off with his toys or snuggling up with his people 🩷 Yes, Bubba is a 50-pound lap dog & no, it doesn’t ever get old!

141

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Breaking news: Local man remains extremely lovable & somehow still single! Bubba is a young, sweet & endlessly entertaining guy with a big personality & an even bigger heart. Equal parts cuddle bug, comedian & adventure buddy, he’s the kind of dog who can make you laugh & love him more each day 🧵

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

From stunning costumes & community spirit to over 60 local vendors & 140 volunteers, the strut showcased the best of our city’s compassion for animals. Thank you to everyone who joined us & to Katie McMenamin Photography, Edoardo Vignani & Pawtrait Pop-Up for capturing so many special moments 🙏

Our best Mutt Strut ever, all thanks to YOU! The 20th Annual PAWS Mutt Strut brought hundreds of animal lovers & their dogs together for one of our most joyful celebrations yet. Thanks to your support, we shattered our all-time Mutt Strut record, raising over $145K to help Philly pets in need 🧵

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

They’re about 2 months old & can be spayed & neutered through PAWS soon, so adopting them out will be be a breeze once they’re feeling more confident. Want to help these cuties go from skittish to snuggly? 💌 Email foster@phillypaws.org to learn more about Moth, Midge & Grub!

063

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

They’d really benefit from some socialization time with a savvy foster to help bring them out of their shells! 💛 The great news about this trio is that they’re all talk, and all it takes is some snacks, toys & 1-on-1 time to start earning their trust.

173

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Do you see a hissy kitten and think, “challenge accepted”? Then have we got the foster babies for you! Moth, Midge, and Grub have officially tested negative for ringworm after several weeks of treatment, but these little ones are still just as nervous as when they first arrived 🧵

She’ll weave around your ankles as you move through the house, settle in for pets & happily keep you company w/o demanding the spotlight. Her meow may be tiny, but she has plenty to say when the mood strikes. When her fav toy comes out, get ready for chirping & chattering amid solo play sessions 💛

120

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ms. Pacman's ideal home is calm and on the quieter side, with adults or older, respectful kids. She’s independent by nature and perfectly happy spending an afternoon exploring every corner of the house on her own terms, but never too far from her people.

Every day is a good day with Ms. Pacman! 🎮💕 This 8-year-old stunner is on the hunt for a chill home, a warm lap & a family to call her own. She started out as a shy & reserved stray, but once she settled into her foster home, a curious, sweet, full-of-personality kitty emerged 🧵

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Potato Chip seeks a new foster home (ideally, someone interested in fostering with the possibility of adopting!). This sweet, silly lady has so much to offer & we’d love for her next stop to be the one that sticks. 💌 Email foster@phillypaws.org or adoptions@phillypaws.org to learn more!

020

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

She takes her pills like a champ & because some need to be given every 8 hours, she’ll need a foster who can stick to her med schedule. We’ll make sure you have all the information & support you need to keep her routine on track.

120

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

She’s a lovely walking buddy who generally does well on leash, with the occasional detour for some very important Squirrel Surveillance 🐿️👀 Potato Chip has a seizure disorder that is currently being managed with medication.

100

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

She loves toys, puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, training games & anything involving snacks. She’s food-motivated, a quick study & is described by her foster as a certified good girl 💛 Potato Chip loves being around people, whether playing, heading out for a walk or cuddling into bed for a lazy AM.

100

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

There’s a lot of personality packed into this 32-pound Potato Chip. But more than anything, she’s looking for someone who’ll love having her particular brand of Potato Chip in their life. At 8 years old, this sweet little spud is smart, curious, playful & always ready to put her brain to work 🧵

Seth has some recovering to do & a comfortable foster home would be a much better place to do it. If you can give this sweet guy a place to stay while we get him back to feeling his best, we’d love to hear from you! 💌 Shoot us an email at foster@phillypaws.org.

076

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Seth is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean he needs to be your only cat! FIV is primarily spread via deep bite wounds, not everyday contact like grooming or sharing bowls. We don’t yet know how Seth feels about other cats, so he’ll need his own space to start, then slow & proper intros to any felines.

170

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Feeling under the weather certainly hasn’t stopped Seth from making friends with our medical team & volunteers 💛 He’s ~8 years old, very social & clearly has a soft spot for people. For now, Seth is taking a once-daily liquid antibiotic & a twice-daily liquid steroid until directed otherwise.

140

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We’re helping him gain weight & keeping a close eye on his bloodwork so he’ll be ready for dental surgery. In the meantime, we’d love to get him out of the shelter & into a foster home 🙏

140

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We’re sold on Seth. Can you blame us? Just look at those tippy tappy paws & that gorgeous snaggle! 🦷 Seth arrived at PAWS in pretty rough shape, dealing with severe anemia, fleas & being underweight, plus some teeth that are ready for a visit from our in-house tooth fairy, Dr. Karyn 🧵

Paco has kidney disease & a heart murmur, so he needs a little extra TLC. This includes a special diet & a couple of easy-to-give medications. But don't let that fool you, because this orange boy still has plenty of zest! ✨

121

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

When he's not defending his foster home from inanimate objects, this distinguished gent enjoys watching TV like an old man, occasionally catching a worm on a string & spending quality time near others. He's not much of a cuddler, but he'll happily accept cheek scratches & keep you company 💛

120

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Meet Paco. Senior citizen, orange icon, retired heartthrob, total stunner 🧡 He's got years of wisdom, a face that belongs on a commemorative plate & a wrestling career that consists almost entirely of fighting sneakers. (Don't worry, the sneakers are fine) 🧵

163

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

She’d also prefer to be the queen bee of your household, but will tolerate other laid-back kitties if they give her ample space. Want to welcome home this sweet little cow cat? Pam is waiting to meet you at our Old City location! 👋 Learn more → new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...
