Thank you Cattyshack Cat Cafe and Tangled Roots Potting Bar for a fun evening last night, building our potted succulents. It was a great way to meet new friends and spend time with the cats at Catty Shack. If you have not done an event at Cattyshack Cat Cafe before, be sure to check out their calendar.

We are HIRING!

SNIP is searching for rescue-focused Veterinarians & Vet Techs who want to be part of our team and the solution to our county's pet overpopulation crisis. We are open to either full-time or part-time Veterinary professionals. You can work at our Naples-based clinic, full-service mobile clinic, and the future Immokalee campus.

Please help us by sharing this post and information with any Veterinary professionals you may know who would be interested in helping us as we continue to grow and expand to help more animals and their humans! Do you know any Veterinarians or Vet Techs from up north who are ready to move to sunny Florida? Now is their chance!

One day, with our spay and neuter preventative efforts, we will save them all!

Hi! I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself to those of you who are new to the Deck the Paws page. My name is Natalie and I am the founder of Deck the Paws!

I started Deck the Paws after adopting my cats from a local shelter.
There were so many pets in the shelter while I was there looking for my furry best friends, and it made me realize just how much it had to cost to care for all of these animals! So I started Deck the Paws as a way to give back to these local shelters and animal causes in our community.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of kind-hearted people like you to help us in our mission! Please consider donating and helping me support animal causes one paw at a time!

To donate to Deck the Paws, visit: https://deckthepaws.org/

Deck the Paws could not stay committed to helping animal causes and shelters in Southwest Florida without the support we receive from all of you!
Deck the Paws works year-round collecting donations that go right back to help local animal causes with anything they need. Without the help from generous patrons like you, we are unable to give aid to some very needy animals. Please find it in your heart to donate today! THANK YOU!

You can make a donation directly on the Deck the Paws website! Please visit: https://deckthepaws.org/donate-online-now/

08/11/2024

Congratulations to the family that adopted sweet Leo. I am truly grateful to say I was able to be apart of his journey to good health!

08/11/2024

Good afternoon, dear friends and donors! I am reaching out to all of you once again to ask for your support! As a nonprofit organization, we cannot fulfill our mission without the generosity of donors like yourselves!
Deck the Paws is committed to collecting donations throughout the year to help local animal causes with anything they need: from their day-to-day expenses, to covering the costs of surgery or rehabilitation, we strive to help with the care that animals need before being adopted by their fur-ever family.
Please consider donating today, and help Deck the Paws support animal causes one paw at a time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

FUN FACT FRIDAY!

This fun fact is from the American Kennel Club:
Did you know, yawning is contagious —even for dogs! According to research, the sound of a human yawn can trigger a responding yawn in dogs. And it’s four times more likely to happen when it’s the yawn of someone they know!

06/26/2024

According to ShelterAnimalsCount.org, a staggering 6.5 million cats and dogs entered shelters and rescues last year! These animals need daily care while they are housed in shelters, awaiting their adoption day. That is why I started Deck the Paws- to help bring much needed supplies, food, and monetary aid to these sweet animals. Please consider donating today, so that Deck the Paws can continue supporting animals in our SWFL community! Thank you!

Happy Sunday !! Today was definitely a fun Sunday. We started our day with visit to Cattyshack Cat Cafe, we loved on some cute kitties. Deck the Paws made a donation as well, we love helping when we can.
Then for the first time we met Purradise Gardens Inc., but first we stopped to get some much needed wet food for their tribe of cats. If you have never visited Purradise Gardens, or are looking to volunteer, or better yet adopt a cat please pay a visit!
It was a great Sunday, hope your weekend was just as fulfilling.
