Yumi was a stray cat who wandered into the office of one of our volunteers. With her irresistible charm, she quickly won the hearts of the employees, who took care of her and made her feel safe.

When the office closed for the holidays, our kind volunteer brought her home on December 23 to ensure she was cared for.

Yumi is now ready to find her forever family! Sheā€™s a sweet, playful, and affectionate kitty who will surely bring joy and love to your home.

If youā€™re looking for a furry companion to brighten your days, Yumi might just be the perfect match!

Send us a message if youā€™re interested in adopting Yumi and giving her the loving home she deserves.

ADOPTED ON 12/07/24

This sweet boy with a ginger tail and a tiny ginger marking on his head has a story to tell. Tisoy was left at our shelter by an unknown person who pushed the door hard just to sneak him inside. But despite the rough start, Tisoy has shown nothing but love and sweetness!

Heā€™s an active little guy, always exploring and playing. Tisoy is also very vocalā€”his frequent meows make us wonder if heā€™s calling out for his mom. With his hearty appetite and affectionate nature, heā€™s sure to win your heart.

If youā€™re looking for a loving, playful companion, Tisoy might just be the perfect fit! šŸ§”

A reminder that cruelty to animals will not be tolerated. Let this case inspire everyone to stand up for the voiceless and take action when witnessing acts of cruelty. Thank you to the witnesses and Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) for ensuring Erika's story was heard.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15LZ824d3Q/?mibextid=WC7FNe

KOREAN FINED P100,000 and SENTENCED TO 2 YEARS IMPRISONMENT FOR KILLING AN ASPIN.

Jung Seongho, the Korean responsible for the cruel killing of an Aspin dog named Erika, has been found guilty by the Metropolitan Trial Court (Branch 3), Manila.

This verdict comes after months of legal pursuit, during which PAWS stood by the witnesses, offering unwavering support to ensure Erikaā€™s story was heard. The perpetrator also faced additional charges of Alarm and Scandal, Assault, and Malicious Mischief, filed against him in May 2024.

Erika was a friendly stray who found a home with a community of individuals at a restaurant in Malate, Manila. She brought joy to patrons and became a cherished part of the establishment. On March 9, 2024, Jung stabbed the gentle dog four (4) times using a kitchen knife of the same restaurant where he was dining and which Erika called ā€œhomeā€.

In his decision dated November 12, 2024, Presiding Judge Honorable Peter Steve G. Lim said that the Prosecution was able to prove Jungā€™s guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Evidence and eyewitness account showed that Jung charged towards Erika who was not showing any ā€œantagonistic behaviorā€ as she was sitting quietly in the outdoor area of the restaurant. Jung stabbed her ā€œseveral times causing its (the dogā€™s) eventual death.ā€

Thanks to the quick action of witnesses who executed a ā€˜citizenā€™s arrestā€™ and then called authorities right after the stabbing incident, the Jung was immediately arrested and jailed prior to the formal hearings.

Erikaā€™s case underscores the importance of quickly calling law enforcement officers on top of just taking a video of the crime for posting on social media or as evidence.

If you witness any acts of cruelty against animals, please call the police immediately. Law enforcement officers can arrest animal offenders on the spot if they are caught in the act or right after the crime has been committed.

Meet our trio of adorable, chubby kittens ready for adoption! These sweet little ones are the offspring of a beautiful black stray cat in our village. Their devoted mama raised them well, keeping them healthy and full of love. Just a few days ago, we separated them from her so they could each find their forever homes, but theyā€™ve all blossomed under her care.

Each kitten is now looking for a loving family to call their own. Meanwhile, weā€™ll be arranging for mama catā€™s spay very soon. If youā€™re ready to welcome these lovely kitties to your home, do send us a message.

Ampie came to the house of one of our volunteers and curiously walked right into one of the cages there. He might be one of the offspring of the villageā€™s stray cats, but now heā€™s safe, cared for, and looking for a family to call his own!

Ampie may be shy at first, but with a little time and patience, he will warm up to you and show his loving side. He is pabebe, friendly, and ready for adoption.

Could you be Ampieā€™s forever family?

If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet soul, please reach out to us. Letā€™s give April the loving family she deserves!

ADOPTED ON 12/10/24

Meet Tipsy! This spirited kitten was found as a stray near the Tipsy Pig restaurant in Estancia Capitol Commons, where MonVi dela Cruz, a compassionate feeder who regularly cares for the areaā€™s stray cats, spotted her and gave her the name ā€œTipsy.ā€ Monvi reached out to us, asking if we could provide a safe space for Tipsy while she takes care of all her needsā€”including vet visits, food, deworming, vaccines, and spaying once Tipsy reaches 5 months old.

Tipsy is a bundle of energy, full of love and playfulness, and she adores cuddles. Now, sheā€™s ready to find her forever home. Could Tipsy be the loving companion youā€™ve been waiting for?

Meet Jiji, the last of her litter still waiting for her forever family! Her siblings Jasper, Jester, and Jazz have already been adopted, and now it's her turn to find a loving home. We decided to let Jiji stay a bit longer so she could reach 4 months old and be spayedā€”and sheā€™s also received her anti-rabies vaccine. This healthy, happy little kitty is now officially ready to start her next chapter!

If you are ready to welcome Jiji to your home, do send us a message.

On October 11, we made the difficult decision to pause adoptions for the rescues under the care of our volunteers, CheChe and Cherry, due to a viral infection that sadly claimed the lives of 17 kittens.

After a challenging time, CheChe and Cherry are back and ready to continue their mission. While still heartbroken by the loss, they remain hopeful and committed.

Weā€™re pleased to announce that the adoption suspension has been lifted! Our rescues are now ready to find their forever homes, and weā€™ll soon be sharing adoption posts for these lovable cats.

Stay tuned for updates on their journey to finding a family!

Sharing the story of Mateo, a feral cat, in celebration of Feral Cat Day!

Mateo is a beautiful feral cat we managed to trap so we could have him neutered. We initially hoped he could be domesticated and even thought finding an adopter would be easy due to his striking looks. However, after trying to bring him indoors, Mateo made it clear that the indoor life wasnā€™t for him. He eventually escaped and returned to the place we had originally found him.

We decided to let him be, and now Mateo thrives outdoors. Our volunteer visited him a few days ago and snapped these pictures. While heā€™s still cautious around strangers, Mateo has gotten comfortable with the familiar faces in the neighborhood who feed him. Itā€™s a gentle reminder that not all cats are meant for indoor life, but they still deserve love and care in their own way.

Alab, one of the feral cats we care for first appeared at the shelter as a cautious kitten around three months old. He spent his early days hiding in the grass, behind cages, or under an old, worn-out couch at the shelter. We could see him from a distance but made sure not to scare him away, allowing him to stay close and feel safe.

After two years of patience, we were finally able to trap him for neutering and then released him back to his familiar surroundings. Unfortunately, after Typhoon Carina hit, Alab never returned. While we managed to evacuate our caged rescues, the feral cats scattered and we couldnā€™t find them. Over time, all but Alab found their way back to the shelter.

We still hold hope for Alab, and his absence reminds us of the challenges these feral cats face.

Today, we celebrate Feral Cat Day by recognizing the aloof, cautious, and resilient feral cats we care for, despite their wariness toward humans.

Meet Brigit, one of our long-time feral residents at the Wellington shelter. When she first spotted the shelter, she realized it was a reliable source of food and would cautiously come by during meal times. Hiding in the grass, she waited until our volunteers left before approaching the food.

For three years, Brigit kept her distance, but eventually, she began to trust our volunteers. This newfound trust allowed us to safely trap her so we could have her spayed, ensuring her well-being and helping control the stray population. Now, Brigit continues to live her best life with us, happily returning to the shelter she once approached so cautiously.

Her journey from fear to trust is a beautiful reminder of the patience and care needed when working with feral cats.

Stay tuned for more stories in celebration of Feral Cat Day!

In commemoration of Feral Cat Day, we want to recognize and share the story of the feral cats weā€™ve been caring for, despite their cautious and wary nature around humans.

Meet Odessa who lived in the makeshift house where we found the first abandoned litter of 7 kittens weā€™ve rescued. Though Odessa would leave the shelter everyday, she would always return for food but waited for us to leave before touching the bowl of kibbles.

When Odessa got pregnant, we were able to trap her so she could safely give birth. Sadly, only one of her three kittens survived. We named the surviving kitten Midnight, and she has been adopted into a loving home. After Odessa was done nursing, we had her spayed and released her back into the area. Though still wary of others, she has never left the shelter grounds. Interestingly, our volunteers used to be quite scared of her. If Odessa ever caught you looking at her or coming too close, she would hiss, and the intense look in her eyes was enough to send shivers down your spine. But, over time, sheā€™s come to trust our quiet care and presence.

This is just one of the many stories that remind us why it's so important to respect and care for these incredible creatures, even when they remain on the outskirts of human interaction.

Stay tuned for more stories in celebration of Feral Cat Day!

Buguā€™s Journey with Hypothyroidism - Initially, we thought the fur shedding was due to aging, but when the bald patch started covering most of his upper back, we knew something more was happening. On September 23, Bugu had a T4 level test, and it confirmed our concernsā€”heā€™s suffering from hypothyroidism, which explains the extensive hair loss. Heā€™s been on medication for 22 days now, and weā€™re closely monitoring his progress. Letā€™s hope for positive results as he continues treatment!

Yesterday, Jiji and Tipsy were taken to Manila Feline Center for a checkup. Tipsy was sent back home but with instructions to monitor her closely. If she shows any symptoms, weā€™ll be bringing her back to the clinic.

Jiji, on the other hand, needed to be confined. She has a fever, and her blood test results indicate that she requires further treatment and observation. Weā€™re hoping for a quick recovery for both of them.

Despite the recent heartbreaking events, we want to reassure everyone that Erik, Cooper, and Isay are safe and well. They are being cared for by our volunteer, Susan, in a different home, away from the affected rescues.

We are grateful for the overwhelming interest in adopting them. Your support means so much to us during this time.

As we focus on addressing the current situation, we will start responding to adoption inquiries for Erik, Cooper, and Isay beginning Monday. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
