This came yesterday, July 3, from neighbors Marilyn and Dick:

As some of you know our 14 year old in-house only cat managed to escape late night or early this morning. He is a tuxedo cat – mostly black with white marking on middle of face, chin and feet. He weighs about 13 pounds. His name is Theo (although he doesn’t often answer to his name). He is very shy – I expect he is hiding somewhere close by. If you see him (or can trap him), please call us any time. 215-901-3470 (c) or 215-748-1376 (h). Lost near 46th and Osage.

Update (July 14): Theo has been found and is back home.

A grey and white cat Brewster has been missing since June 28 from 46th and Kingsessing (where he lives).

He has been known to go into people’s houses before, but he has a home where he is very much missed.

Brewster is an indoor/outdoor cat with a microchip. If you’ve seen him please call Alene at 215-760-8351.
 

Today’s puppy is Mouse, a beautiful blue brindle American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is currently living in a foster home.

Mouse is between 10 and 12 months old. She weighs approximately 25 lbs and probably won’t get much bigger than she is right now.

Mouse is playful and a delight to be around. She is wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs.

If you are interested please contact Mouse’s foster mom Maddy at mdavishayes [at] gmail.com.
 

Today’s cat is Babs. He’s available for adoption through Project Meow.

Babs is a curious kitty. He’s also shy, but still open for love. He’s quite smart as he’s figured out how to climb up next to his foster mom’s bed and drink her water! Despite his shy side you can still pick him up and rub his beautiful hair. In fact, he likes it when his hair gets brushed.

Babs would love to be adopted with his brother, Boser, because they’ve always been there for each other. They are a great pair of gentlemen, love other cats, and are very appreciative of constant love.

Babs is a playful cute kitty, who will give you plenty of purr-filled lap snuggles – contact Project MEOW to see for yourself!

Babs is neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, housetrained, FIV/FeLV negative, and micro-chipped. Please contact projectmeowadoptions [at] gmail.com to meet him.

Application and $85 adoption fee applies.
 

Today’s dog is Petunia, an adult female pit bull terrier mix with dark “chocolately”-black fur.

Petunia currently resides at PSPCA’s Animal Care & Control Team (ACCT). She came in as a stray.

Little Petunia is a sweet and extremely affectionate dog. She is gentle and calm and wants nothing more than to climb on your lap. Petunia really could use some TLC so she can bloom into a beautiful flower.

Petunia does well with her dog meets and in fact doesn’t show much interest in the other dogs but instead wants to be pet and get loving by her human friends. Although she doesn’t show much interest in cats, she has some scratches on her face that are consistent with cat scratches so it may be better for Petunia to live in a house without cats.

She is a very calm dog and would make a wonderful cuddle buddy. Whether you are watching TV or taking a stroll to the ice cream parlor – Petunia makes a great companion. She is a medium to low energy dog. Because she is past the puppy stage, she isn’t jumpy or mouthy and would probably be great with children.

If you are interested in Petunia and have dogs of your own, please bring at least one of them to make sure there is no major personality clash. Please also bring proof that you are allowed to have dogs/cats at your home if you rent or be prepared that the adoption staff will call your landlord before approving your application.

If you would like to adopt or foster Petunia or need more information please call 267-385-3800 or stop by ACCT (111 W. Hunting Park Avenue).

If you see her, please call 267-303-9096 or 215-391-7397. A $50 reward is offered to anyone who finds her.
