Reader Allison found this cat in her raised bed Friday afternoon. She lives at 51st and Cedar. The cat’s hind leg is very badly injured. He appears to have been attacked. He has a collar so he must have a home nearby. He doesn’t appear to be neutered.

Allison called ACCT and they picked him up. She hopes that they can attend to his injured foot, but she also wants his owner to be alerted.

If this is your cat, please contact Allison at 301 452 2213.

This week’s adoptable dog is Ginger. She was at the shelter last summer and got adopted in the nick of time. Unfortunately, her new owner got sick and can’t keep her. Ginger is a young, reddish-gold haired terrier mix. She is house-trained, crate trained, knows commands, is spayed, up to date on her shots and is ready to move back in to a home.

Ginger lived with older children in her last home but young kids make her uncomfortable. She likes some other dogs but can be picky – and Ginger is definitely a no-cats kind of dog! She walks well on a leash, loves to snuggle on the sofa, is great in the car and enjoys a refreshing swim when it’s hot out.

Ginger is not handling the shelter environment very well and needs a rescue, foster home or adopter as soon as possible.

Email her Pen Pal Lara at larakelly [at] comcast.net for more information. If adopted, Lara will pay the adoption fee, provide a crate and provide 1 month of food.

Update (03/14): The dog has been reunited with his family.

This sweet pup was found at 49th and Catharine this evening. No collar. He is very sweet and well socialized. He is safe with a neighbor but can only be there for a few days.

If anyone knows him or can provide foster care after the weekend, please email Tara at: PJPorches [at] gmail.com

 
Neighbor Sara found this very friendly and healthy cat around 46th and Kingsessing. The cat had almost been hit by a car. Sara took her to a vet to look for a microchip but she does not have one. If this is your cat, please email Sara at: adoptfosters [at] gmail.com

Update (03/20): Roxy has been adopted!

Roxy is a 2-3 year old female American Bull Dog mix weighing 55lbs.

Roxy was found running around at 53rd and Walton a couple of weeks ago. She has had a rough life thus far. She was taken away from her owner as part of a cruelty case earlier in the year by the SPCA. She was fostered, somehow ended up on the street, and is now in stable foster care. Despite her past experiences she is an amazingly loving dog and deeply appreciative of every bit of affection and care given to her.

Roxy is very responsive. She is crate-trained, knows sit and come, and would learn other commands quickly. She is very playful when outside, but around the house she is very mellow. She has never chewed anything. She has done well meeting other dogs on leash, but would do best in a home with no cats. Roxy is spayed, up to date on shots, and ready to find a permanent home.

For more information, or to set up a meet-up please contact Rob at 267-968-5687 or RSPetraitis [at] gmail.com.

This week’s featured adoptable cats are Chewy and Roy.

West Philly resident Gina and her roommates have been taking care of the cats, but they are all going to graduate next month and need to find them a new home.

Roy and Chewy are brother and sister black and white cats. They are medium sized, very lovable, neutered, with updated shots, and can be adopted together or separately. They were victims of a break in at their old home, so they get very scared of plastic bags and loud banging noises. They are good with other animals and kids as long as you give them a week or so to get used to their new surroundings.

Here are their photos:

 
If you’re interested in adopting one or both of these cats or would like to meet them, please email Gina at: ginapiccari [at] gmail.com
