PAWS "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

Vision:
PAWS seeks a time when there are no homeless companion animals in south central Pennsylvania. Strategies:
•Facilitating the spaying and neutering of owned and unowned animals.
•Rescuing, fostering, and finding permanent homes for stray, abused, abandoned and otherwise homeless animals.
•Collaboration with other humane organizations.
•Raising awareness of the plight of homeless animals a

nd ways in which individuals can reduce overpopulation. PAWS aspires to best practices established by well-respected organizations such as: Best Friends, Alley Cat Allies, Neighborhood Cats, Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project, and Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets movement, and understanding what the No Kill Movement is all about - and how it relates to PAWS which subscribes to the No Kill Philosophy.

This right here is how we save more lives. Tabby Trappers PA is a TNR org doing great work in York, PA area. We are proud to consider them partners and friends.
If you also want cool friends, give them a foĺlow.

Kitten is doing well. We cleaned her up, started on meds and she was chowing down before she left the clinic. Send healing energy her way.

I was out doing the Get Outdoors (GO)Franklin program with my kids when we found this guy in a field. I didn’t see any other kittens or cats, but immediately got on the horn to all my contacts in rescue and thank God, PAWS had a foster step up.
When Trappers say to leave healthy kittens at a colony until they are old enough to TNVR, we are not trying to be mean or insensitive, but rescues are overflowing and need to focus on more cases like this boys. I am not sure how much longer he would have had. Have we not been at the right place in time tonight. That is not to say that healthy kitten should not go into rescue at all, but unfortunately, they are not the high priority. This boy has a severe upper respiratory infection and fly strike. Luckily, only from what I can see, it does not look like any of the eggs have entered into the body so he may have a fighting chance. I will be calling the education center that we found him at tonight first thing on Monday to see if they know anything about any more cats or kittens on or around the property so no other kitten has to suffer at the same fate.

Seriously?!?
Woody is looking for a soft place to land. He's a cutie pie who wants nothing more than to feel safe, secure and loved. He's a young kitty who is blossoming into a wonderful companion. He had his heart broken once when he was abandoned outside, help us find Woody's purrfect match. ❤️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. CINCOTTI!!!
Thank you for ALL you do to help to PAWS, homeless cats and all your clients.
We appreciate YOU! ❤️

Please send Dr. Cincotti birthday wishes. Maybe ask the Flyers to get Gritty to send her a wish, too! 🌠🏒🎂🎉🎁🥳

Starting the safety tips early this year. Knowing big celebrations will be happening on July 4th and also, throughout the summer, we really want to make sure everyone knows that fireworks scare pets and wildlife.
❌️Don't take pets to fireworks displays.
❌️Don't keep pets outside while setting off fireworks.
✅️Get your pet microchipped and registered.
✅️Give your pet a comfy cozy space with the radio or TV on to block out the scary bangs.

Celebrate safely.
