This cat was found lying on the edge of the Clark Park bowl on Thursday, July 18. She was severely lethargic and dehydrated, according to a neighbor, Bethany, who found her. The cat is now in Bethany’s house and is doing better after a little air conditioning, food, and water (see photo). She is not microchipped, and looks like she has been outside for a while, but doesn’t look like a stray  – she is very friendly.

If you recognize this cat as a stray or someone’s pet please contact Bethany at: bethany.lucas@gmail.com. If the owner is not found, Bethany says that she will not be able to keep her in her home, so if anyone is interested of taking care of her please let Bethany know.

This cat seems to be lost and looking for its owners around 44th/45th and Osage, according to residents who live on that block. A neighbor, Andrew, writes that the cat is “good with humans, seems relatively well fed, and is jumpy in the outside, so my only guess is that this is an indoor cat that has lost his way.”

If you are its owner, please email Andrew at: werdnaphila@gmail.com for more information.

A reader, April, has found an orange and white cat on her porch near 44th and Walnut. He/she seems obviously cared for but lost outside, according to April. The cat has a bell and a pet watch tag that was never registered but it seems that the cat had been adopted from PAWS.

If it is your cat please call 215 510 1798.

 
A small tan and white dog, possibly a Papillon/Sheltie mix, was found on Monday, July 1, running on 44th and Spruce. The dog is a young male, weighing about 12 pounds. If this is your dog or if you know his owner, please email dogonspruce@yahoo.com.

UPDATE (7/3/13): The dog has been reunited with his owner.

Laura, a friendly female calico cat (black, white, & orange with a white chest) has been missing from the 4700 block of Baltimore Avenue since the weekend of June 22. She liked to hang out on the porches of 4729 and 4731 and many neighbors know her well as she often approached them and greeted them with her meow.

If you have any information about Laura please call Norma at 215-727-4271.

Oolong, Matcha, Pekoe, and Chai are four adorable black and caramel colored male Guinea Pigs ready to be adopted. Oolong is the biggest boy, about 1 year old, and he is the leader of the pack. Matcha is the teenage brother, 6-12 months old, who is still trying to figure out if he wants to be a mature adult, or a rowdy youngster. Pekoe and Chai are the babies of the family, 2-6 months old, they are tiny and still learning the ropes on how to be good little piggies.

These poor little guys were surrendered to the ACCT Philly animal shelter and are now hanging out in their big, bright window enclosure at the Baltimore Pet Shoppe, greeting all the passersby with their chorus of squeaks, grunts and chatters. All four piggies are healthy and have silky, soft coats. They are friendly and inquisitive. They are available for adoption individually (adoption fee is $20 each) or in pairs, but with ACCT Philly’s Adopt-A-Buddy program, you pay only one fee, and the second adoptee is free of charge.

Guinea pigs do best when they have another of their kind to talk to and play with, so if you already have one at home, consider adopting a buddy. If you are interested in one of the babies, why not take an older role model to help him grow up?

Stop by Baltimore Pet Shoppe at 4532 Baltimore Ave any day to meet these carefree critters. Business hours are 10 am – 7 p.m. weekdays, 10 – 6 Saturday, and 11 – 6 Sunday. In most cases you can adopt and take home your new pet same day. As an added bonus, Baltimore Pet Shoppe offers a 15% discount off any purchases you make when you adopt a shelter pet.

If you have questions please call the Shoppe at 215-222-PETS (7387) or email Natalie@acctphilly.org
