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.
June is foster a pet month. 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.

Give me a C.. Give me an H… Give me an I… Give me a P… What does it spell??? CHIP! Do we have the cat for you at the Parma Animal Shelter! Meet Chip! You will want more than just him when you see him. Kind of like Lay’s potato chips. You can’t eat just one. Well, you’ll want one more cat just like him! Chip is affectionate and loves to be petted and likes head and cheek rubs. He is easy to pick up and will most likely be a lap cat. Chip listens when you talk to him and can be very talkative. He will give you a kitty kiss if you ask him for one. Feed him a churu or treat and he’s in heaven. Chip loves to hide under blankets! He can be a little adventurous when he’s out on the main floor but does get a little talkative when he wants attention. He is playful and loves chasing the laser up and down the aisles of the main cat room. Chip also loves string toys and will do flips in the air trying to get the string toy. He likes to close drawers and may help you put away the laundry. Chip is requesting a home that is spacious so he can run around!! He was surrendered to PAS when his owner passed away. The person who brought him in said he’s not good with other cats or dogs, so he may be better as an only pet. Chip does get along really well with one of our kittens, Spicey Girl. They like to play together so Chip should do well with a kitten. He will be an ideal companion for a single person or a couple who are home a lot. We don’t recommend Chip to a family with children. Chip may get over stimulated with active young children. Older teens (16 and up) would be okay with him. He is getting a little sad that he hasn’t been adopted. Chip is hoping his forever human is out there and will soon be in to adopt him. He is currently one of our longest residents. Won’t you consider adopting this handsome cat? He is very photogenic and has the most gorgeous amber eyes! Chip is also available for our foster to adopt program. Fill out an application online. You will receive an email once the application has been approved. (dob 3/29/22)
