Philippine Animal Welfare Society. Cats for Adoption. June 2010.

Meet Gavin. He's just one of the 243 cats at the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Two hundred and forty-three? Well, yeah. You better believe it. Any shelter that refuses to euthanize to make space will end up with numbers like that because intake will almost always be greater that outtake. So, adopting and donating in kind or money is always a big shot in the arm. Don't just nod your head. Do one of these two things.

Gavin's story is typical of all the animal residents of the Philippine Animal Rehabilitation Center (PARC) which is under the management of PAWS. Homeless, hungry, and abused cats like Gavin are rescued from streets and nurtured back to good health at PARC and then put up for adoption. Do you believe in miracles? Just take a look at Gavin's before and after photos. Yes, it's the same cat!





Here are more cats who need a permanent and loving home. Everyone of them is a survivor. I do realize that you need to be physically in the Philippines to adopt any of the 243 cats at PARC. If so, you can email philpaws@yahoo.com to get started with the adoption. There is also a Paypal donation button on the main page of this blog for those of you who are overseas and want to help. Click on the blog title. PAWS is always in need of pet supplies like cat food, collars, leashes, and even quarantine cages. Give whatever you can. It's for the animals really, not for anybody else.


Bonj- is a fostered kitty. Barely two weeks old when he was found on top a garbage heap, he was bottlefed by a kind PAWS volunteer until he could eat solid kitten food. Bonj has a huge appetite and enjoys being the center of attention.

Georgie - Seems to want to go home with anyone who enters the cattery. She will will come up to you and kiss you - you could almost hear her shout, "Pick me! Pick me!" We hope someone will do exactly just that before Georgie begins to think that her greeting efforts are all in vain.

Lauren -one of the prettiest cats in the cattery who loves to come up to people to be touched. It's obvious that Lauren longs to be adopted by a family who will adore her as much as she adores humans.

Mac - wide-eyed Mac was kicked around and had a very rough life as an adolescent cat. When we took him in, we needed to constantly assure him that no one was going to kick or hurt him anymore. And so life's been dandy so far for Mac at the shelter.. but it sure would be nicer if someone gave him a home.

Mindy is the type of feline who will sit quietly by your side to keep you company but will always give you space.She is not a "needy" cat craving for constant attention and is the ideal pet for the busy career lady who just needs a purring machine to come home to.

Steve - this down-on-his-luck cat was found by the roadside and was almost run over by a car when he was rescued by PAWS. Steve is optimistic that his luck is changing for the better. Ever since he gained weight, he has been strutting around the cattery like a new cat. He can't wait to get adopted!

Trudy - Always sleeping, always dreaming of her forever-home. When she opens her eyes tomorrow, can you cheer her up with a visit and a possibility that her dreams of a forever-home will soon come true?

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 .

Philippines. Committee on Animal Welfare. Tambucho Gassing. Oscar Macenas. Fight for Compassion, Not Cruelty.

Believe it or not, the Committee on Animal Welfare (CAW) is again pushing for the reinstatement of Tambucho Gassing as an accepted form of euthanasia in the Philippines. This comes after CAW dragged its feet from August 2010 to April 2011, stultifying a directive from Secretary Proceso Alcala of the Department of Agriculture to rewrite a previous CAW-endorsed administrative order that embraced Tambucho Gassing like it was a God-sent cure-all for stray or unwanted animals. For those coming into this matter only now, Tambucho Gassing is not carbon monoxide gassing as CAW would like the world to believe. Tambucho Gassing is death by vehicular exhaust fumes. No gas cylinders are used, just a rubber hose connected to a clunky, old, usually badly tuned gas engine. The animals are entombed in a sealed metal container and toxic fumes are pumped into it. In terms of expediency, the process is slow, inefficient, and ineffective against the problem. In terms of humanity, it is depraved, utterly c
