I am very grateful to all who support the Parma Animal Shelter and those who came to our Thanksgiving bake sale! (Sorry we sold out about 1:15!) We love baking for you and hope you enjoy your goodies. We also appreciate your generous donations, recognition, and kind words of thankfulness for our work and dedication for our 4 legged fur babies. May you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas, and see you on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at our Superbowl/Valentine’s bake sale!
Fondly, Lori Hilfer, Bake Sale Chair
UPDATE: We are currently full on the cat side and have a waiting list for intakes until further notice.
Fall Shelter Update
Dear Friends,
We are excited to share some wonderful news and upcoming events with you! Did you know that our shelter offers 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.
Our next event will be the Thanksgiving Bake Sale at Memorial Hall, 6637 Ridge Road, Parma, on Sunday, November 24th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Watch for promos for our Giving Tuesday event. It’s your chance to support the work we do.
Fundraising
We want to thank all our supporters, the City of Parma, and all of our wonderful volunteers in and out of the shelter who make it possible to provide loving care for so many dogs and cats. We do our best to serve the public by providing shelter for the strays, surrendered, and abandoned animals. Many of our guests have medical needs and require foster care to help them get healthy enough for adoption. We are so grateful to those who are willing to take these animals into their homes. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports our shelter by attending our events, making donations, and sharing on social media. 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 volunteering, please fill out an application on our website.
Foster Program
Consider becoming a foster for our special needs cats and kittens. You provide the love, and we cover the medical expenses. We are always in need of volunteers willing to open their homes and hearts to care for 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 spayed or 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. Our adoptions are always based on what we feel is the best home; never first come, first serve!
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.
Gypsy is a friendly, sweet and affectionate female cat. She is becoming a real love bug and will be a wonderful lap cat! Gypsy does slow blinks and gives kitty kisses. She is playful and loves chasing the laser and loves to have space to run around. Gypsy loves treats and will ask for more. She loves looking out the window and will enjoy a home with a view. Gyspy will come when you call her. She might be okay with another cat, dog and older children. Fill out an application online. You will receive an email once the application has been approved.
