PALS is going to be at Fast Eddie’s in Winthrop this Wednesday, July 3, 2024 4-7pm. It’s Cruise Night at Fast Eddie’s so there will be live music, awesome cars and great food! There will be a 50/50 raffle to support the kitties at the shelter and we will have all of our new shirts and bags available!

Come down and support all of the cats at PALS. We do not receive any kind of state or federal funding and we depend entirely on donations and your support to keep saving cats!

Kitten season is in full swing! We have loads of kittens in the shelter and people calling multiple times a day asking to bring more into us.

We do not get any state or federal support and can only continue to take in more kitties with the help of all of our amazing donors.

We are down to our very last case of canned kitten food and we are nearly out of litter so we need your help! You can bring donations directly to the shelter or order from our wish list! We love using the large animal pellets from Tractor supply for litter and our kittens love Fancy Feast the best 🙂

Moo
7yo neutered male

Moo is a VERY big boy. Sadly his owner passed away and when he entered the shelter he was over 25 pounds. We hate for cats that are this overweight to stay in the shelter long because they get very stressed and don’t eat well. It can be dangerous for him if he loses weight too quickly. He has already lost a few pounds since being with us, so we are hoping to find him the perfect home ASAP. He is a quiet guy, but he is sweet. He doesn’t always love other cats but he did live with another cat in his past home so he could do well with other cats if given time to adjust. He needs someone to help him lose some weight safely. If you have room in your heart for this big guy please consider adoption!

She has been waiting for a new home since June 2024

Adoption fee: $100

Call 207-395-4274 to schedule an adoption appointment. Friday-Monday 8a-2p and Tuesday-Thursday 8a-5p.

If you know any veterinarians looking to make a big difference for kitties send them our way!

PALS Low-Cost Feline Veterinary Service is seeking a part-time veterinarian(s) for Mondays and Fridays. We are proud to be the only non-profit, full service, feline only veterinary clinic in the state of Maine. The clinic is located inside the PALS No-Kill Cat Shelter in Winthrop, Maine. The shelter has been saving Maine cats since 1980. In 2019 we moved our veterinary care in-house, and in 2021 we began offering low-cost services to the public. Our mission is to provide the highest possible care within the client’s budget in order to keep more cats in their current homes and out of shelters. We have been steadily growing every day since we opened, and now we need some help. We have in-house labs, x-ray, ultrasound, oxygen cage, incubator, IV fluid pumps and IV-line warmers. We strive for a high standard of care despite being low-cost. We are seeking a cat-loving veterinarian to join our unique team. We are happy to have a new grad or a seasoned doctor. We can tailor the appointment types to your particular skill set. No holidays and no weekends. Benefits and pay are negotiable and dependent on experience. Please reach out to Dr. Miller at [email protected] with any questions or interest. We are excited to bring another doctor into our fold! 188 Case Rd Winthrop, ME 207-395-5080

The staff at PALS No-Kill Cat Shelter and PALS Low-Cost Feline Veterinary Service are extremely saddened by the loss of Princess SiSi a/k/a Sierra. SiSi came to the shelter in April 2021, a shy, older girl that was scared and hid in her cat bed. She was overlooked by potential adopters due to her shyness and her age. She resided at the shelter until July 2021, when she was transported to her palace at The Pussums Cat Company. With the love and care of Susan and her staff, she blossomed into a beautiful, sweet and sassy girl who reigned over her kingdom. We are thankful for Susan and her staff and to all adopters who adopt/foster older and shy kitties so they may live their lives in a home (or a catnip shop!) instead of a shelter.

***Announcement***

PALS is pleased to announce we will be hosting our second annual Kitten Kerplunk on May 11, 2024!!

This is a polar plunge event where jumpers will help raise money to help support PALS through kitten season by jumping into the very cold spring water at Maranacook Lake.

At PALS we recieve zero state or town funding to take in, treat and care for cats and kittens. We are a small organization that has been here since 1980 rescuing cats in Maine. We take in and adopt out 600-800 cats and kittens per year and we do it all by hosting fundraiserssers like this one.

We really need your help!

Last year we had 11 jumpers and raised $3,200. This year we are hoping for even more jumpers and let’s aim to raise $5000!

Come join in the fun and help some kitties on May 11th!
If you’d like to sign up please email Ginny at [email protected].

If you can’t jump in please consider sharing this post, donating directly or just coming out to support us on jump day!
