Fall Shelter Update
Dear Friends,
We are excited to share some wonderful news and upcoming events with you! Did you know that our shelter is currently offering a special adoption deal for our beloved felines? When you adopt one cat, you can bring home another for half the adoption fee. We believe every kitty deserves a buddy, and we have plenty of pretty, sweet cats eagerly waiting for their forever homes. Visit us any day from 5:00 to 7:00 pm or on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to Noon. Adoption applications are available online for both cats and dogs.
Mark your calendars for the Dog Days of Parma festival on Saturday, September 28th at the Bartels Busack Hospital Parking Lot, 6270 State Road, Parma, Ohio. It’s a day packed with fun activities for you and your furry companions. Don’t miss the chance to enter your dog in exciting contests such as Best Dog Costume, Best Look-Alike (Dog and Human), and Best Dog Trick. Your participation supports the Parma Area Kiwanis Club and the Parma Animal Shelter.
While enjoying the festival, indulge in our bake sale with delicious treats made by our volunteers. Explore over ten vendors offering crafts, jewelry, dog treats, and more. There will be a 50/50 raffle, raffle baskets, and a special appearance by the Parma Police K-9 unit. Kids’ games, ice cream, and food trucks will keep everyone entertained and satisfied. Plus, take a tour of the shelter to meet our adoptable pets and participate in senior and special needs dog activities, paw print art, and more.
We’re also thrilled to present two educational events at the Parma-Powers Branch of the Cuyahoga County Library. Join us for Cat and Kitten Care Basics on Monday, October 7th from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, presented by Judy Cortell. Additionally, learn about Feline TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) on Wednesday, October 9th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, presented by Becky Steinmetz. Register for these informative sessions online.
We are grateful to Bartels Busack Animal Hospital and the Kiwanis Parma Area Club for hosting the Dog Days of Parma Festival. We hope to see you at the festival and our library events for a day full of fun, community, and support for a great cause!
Fundraising
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports our shelter through donations and social media shares. You can now donate easily using credit cards, Paypal, or by mail. Check out our Amazon and Chewy wish lists, and don’t forget to donate Fresh Step litter points to help our foster kitties.
Volunteering Opportunities
We’re always looking for dedicated volunteers to help with various tasks around the shelter. Whether it’s staffing the front desk, walking dogs, or caring for kitties, every pair of hands makes a difference. If you’re interested in fostering, please fill out an application on our website.
Permanent Foster Program for Cats
Consider becoming a permanent foster for our special needs cats and kittens. You provide the love, and we cover the medical expenses. Email catadoptions@parmashelter.org for more information.
We are ALWAYS in need of volunteers willing to open their homes and hearts to take care of animals who just need some TLC while they complete their veterinary care and are ready for adoption. Especially now, we need foster moms for kittens who need to be bottle fed or who can eat on their own but are too small to get spay/neutered. If you are interested, please fill out the foster application on our website to indicate your area of interest in fostering.
Adoption Policies
Visit us during our open hours to meet our adorable cats and dogs. Fill out an adoption application online beforehand to expedite the process. Please note our response times for applications, and remember to bring all family members for a meet and greet with our shelter pets.
Thank you for your continued support in our mission to rescue, rehome, and educate about animal welfare. Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of animals in need.

Openings for volunteers may vary by shift anywhere from 8 am to noon or 3:30 pm to 7 pm. We expect volunteers to commit to a two-hour shift on the same day each week. Volunteers who have been fully trained and have completed at least four shifts can be recommended for membership by their shift leaders. Once membership has been approved volunteers are able to pick up other shifts available through Signup Genius.
Summer is almost over but we still have Summer at PAS. Who can resist a cat like Summer? She’s a fluffy longhaired cat who is full of spunk and a little bit of sass. Summer is affectionate and friendly and likes head, cheek and ear rubs. She mostly has a calm, quiet personality and is usually pretty chill. Summer does enjoy playing catch me if you can. She runs and wants you to chase her! Summer is playful and likes string toys. She might be okay with another cat. Summer has been out on the floor with a few other female cats and pretty much ignores them. She might be okay with a dog and should be fine with children. Fill out an application online. You will receive an email once the application has been approved. (dob 5/16/2017)
