FEBRUARY UPDATE!
🎉 Big News for Our Foster Program! 🎉
Parma Animal Shelter is thrilled to share that we received a $2,000 grant from the Petfinder Foundation to support our foster families — and the impact has already been incredible.
Our very first recipients were Peggy’s Christmas kittens: Tippy, Silver, Chester, Mini‑Me, and Tiger2! These five tiny explorers were getting into everything as they grew, and thanks to this grant, their foster mom Susan received a brand‑new playpen, kitten‑sized litter pan, and perfectly sized food and water bowls. The timing couldn’t have been better — the playpen arrived just as the kittens discovered their mischievous side, giving them a safe space to play, learn, and thrive.
This grant also allowed us to stock up on feeding kits, heating pads, blankets, toys, scales, and other essentials that help our foster families care for vulnerable kittens and cats with confidence.
💛 Thank you, Petfinder Foundation, for supporting our lifesaving foster program and helping kittens like Peggy’s litter get the best possible start.
Adopt, Share, Save a Life
Our shelter is filled with many wonderful adult cats and dogs eagerly waiting for their forever homes. You can be a hero today by sharing our adoptable pets on social media! Just click the icon on any pet’s story on our adopt-a-pet petlist. One share could be the key to a new beginning.
Celebrating Our Community Impact This year promises to be busy and fulfilling. Your ongoing support helps us keep our guests safe in a loving home-away-from-home as they await their permanent families.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Champions We are deeply grateful to our supporters, the City of Parma, and our incredible volunteers. Your generosity enables us to provide shelter and care for strays, surrendered, and abandoned animals—many of whom require medical attention and foster care before they find their forever homes. A special thank you goes out to those who open their hearts and homes to foster animals on their journey to recovery.
