Fundraising
We would like to thank everyone who has been supporting our shelter with donations to our fundraising campaigns.  We’ve made it easier to donate using a credit card, Paypal or by mail.    We are also grateful to those who continually share our social media posts and help us find homes for our guests.   For those generous people who are willing to donate from our wish list, we have made updates!  You can donate through Amazon or Chewy wish lists too. For those of you who use Fresh Step litter, every point you donate will help us buy litter for our foster kitties.  It’s easy to create an account and upload a picture of your receipt. We also have ongoing campaigns on Giving Grid to help us raise money for medical care for our guests.

Volunteering
We are also looking for volunteers so if you can help, please submit an application.  We are looking for volunteers to help staff our front desk, walk dogs and take care of kitties. There are 100 jobs necessary to run an animal shelter. We are proud to be 100% volunteer. Once trained, volunteers can choose from open slots on Signup Genius during the week if they have extra time to give. We appreciate the many people who step up to help with events and come in for extra shifts as needed. Our Star volunteer last month was volunteer Jean Bolling!

ADOPTION POLICIES

  • You can visit the shelter to adopt without an appointment! We are open 10-12 noon on Saturday and Sunday and 5-7 pm daily. Our front desk staff answers the phones during these hours and also from 10-12 noon M-F. We have made our website as helpful as we can by including resources and links to answer most questions we receive via phone calls.
  • We require visitors to fill out an adoption application and receive approval before adopting.
  • We strongly suggest filling out an application before visiting with our cats or dogs, otherwise you will have to wait for your application to be reviewed and come back at a later date to adopt.
  • Responses to applications for cats will be sent from catadoptions@parmashelter.org via email within 72 hours of submission.
  • Responses to applications for dogs will be sent from dogadoptions@parmashelter.org via email within 28-48 hours.
  • Your approval email will detail any information you need to know for adoption.
  • We cannot guarantee that a specific cat or kitten or dog will be available during your visit, and we will not be putting holds on kittens.

FOR CATS
To submit an adoption application, check out our adoption policy page and please fill out this Cat / Kitten Adoption Form.

FOR DOGS
Potential adopters are welcome to fill out an application during their visit to the shelter but we do recommend that they do it on-line ahead of time. The application will then be reviewed by health and welfare. If they are a good match, an appointment will be scheduled with an adoption counselor. All other animals in the home must be brought in for a meet and greet to determine compatibility with our shelter dog.

Please click the link provided below to fill out the dog adoption/fostering inquiry.

Become a Permanent Foster

From time to time, the Parma Animal Shelter takes in kittens and cats that will need ongoing veterinary care.  It is possible to take one of these felines home as part of our permanent foster program.  As a permanent foster, you provide basic supplies (regular food, litter, etc.) and love, and the shelter pays for the medical care of the animal.  Some of these animals require daily medication or frequent trips to our veterinarian for procedures – each situation is unique.  If you would like to permanently foster one of our special needs cats or kittens, please email catadoptions@parmashelter.org.

ANIMAL SPOTLIGHT

Are you looking for your BFF? Look no further. Colleen is at the Parma Animal Shelter just waiting for you! She is a very sweet, quiet, calm senior female cat. Colleen is very friendly and loves people. She will follow you around while you do chores around the house. Colleen has the cutest meow and likes to talk and may have some stories to share! Colleen will let you know when she wants something. She loves being out and about and if you put her back in her cage, she will give you a bit of a scolding. Colleen does love to be brushed. She is playful and likes string toys. She might be okay with another cat, a quiet dog and children. Fill out an application online. You will receive an email once the application has been approved.
