Kitten Season is HERE!

The calls have begun! Momma cats and kittens need rescue and we can't help them without a little help from you!
Please consider donating:
Your Time: We are in need of foster families to give a little TLC and a safe space in their home to help these little ones grow up to be sweet and healthy kittens ready for homes!
Supplies: Each foster family needs a kit to help care for their little ones. Cat Litter, Canned Cat Food (pate), dry kitten food, fleece blankets, Soft stuffed animals for orphans to snuggle, Small/shallow litterboxes, Shallow bowls, toys, KMR (formula) and kitten bottles for the very little ones.
Funds: Each kitten will require approximately $100 in care to prepare them for their forever homes! This includes their spay or neuter so that they do not contribute to making more kittens! Some cats or kittens need further medical care or require longer stays. Adoption fees only cover approximately 31% of the funds required. 
 

~These are just a few of our most deserving furry friends!~

Calendar Contest Winners Earn The Spotlight!

​May brought to you by: Merle!

​
Each year, PWP hosts a Calendar Contest. Owner's submit their favorite photos of their calendar-cute pets. Everyone votes on their favorites! Merle's smile is contagious, so it's no wonder he snagged a month in this year's calendar. His parents write, "Merle is a 6 month old Bloodhound puppy. He loves going bye bye, his daddy and his feline brother, Ditter Dats. He wins the hearts of everyone he meets." Merle raised $66 to help the pets at Pets Without Parents!

Volunteer

Looking for a rewarding experience? Caring for dogs and cats, talking to adoptive parents at events, doing some light house keeping, or pitching in at one of our fundraisers are critical parts of keeping our animals happy and the shelter humming. See how we can use your help.

Foster

Become a foster. We rely on a network of dedicated foster families to help wonderful pets get out of the shelter while they await their forever home.  It is a temporary situation, but vital to the health and well-being of the animal.
