Animal Care Associates Scranton, PA Protecting the Defenseless, Helping the Injured, Caring for the Neglected
All volunteer organization) We are not always able to accept new intakes.
(30)

Our organization is comprised entirely of volunteers with different expertise and experience but who share a common goal, to protect, care for and help as many animals as we can. We are in need volunteers for cleaning and helping care for the animals at our adoption center at PetSmart in Dickson City, PA. Volunteers are also needed to help with various other events or periodic transport. If you wo

uld like to volunteer please contact us at [email protected]. ACA provides a safe haven for all of our animals while they await adoption. Our no-kill policy allows each animal as much time as they need to find the right home or it gives them a permanent home with us if all placement efforts fail. The foster home environment allows us to observe each animal's behavior around other animals and different people so that we can help prospective adopters choose a pet that will fit their house or apartment, their family and their lifestyle. Because many of our animals were abandoned or are strays, we spend as much time as we can with each one so that they become accustomed to being pet, held and being around people again. We also provide any needed medical care and treatment including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, proper nutrition, grooming and surgery if necessary. Given all the above information, please take special note that we are a small, all volunteer organization. While we would LOVE nothing more than to help every animal we are contacted about but, we must commit first to those who are already under our care. Thank you for your understanding.

We sometimes are really overwhelmed with emails and messages. Updates are always the light that provides the energy for us to continue & this one was so wonderful we just had to share with everyone!

Garfield (now Colby Jack) went home to a prior adopter over the weekend leaving us right from his foster home. He joined us as one of several kitties from a cruelty case recently. He doesn’t know what it’s like to have a ‘normal’ life. Fast forward just a few days into transition and he’s doing WODNERFUL! They’re doing exactly what is needed to set him and their existing household up for success by taking their time to transition him into the family.

From adopter:
“I just wanted to give you an update on Colby Jack (formerly Garfield). He's the sweetest little ginger cat ever! It took a few days for him to warm up to his new surroundings, but now that he's no longer in hiding and adventuring around in his "I'm new here, let me adjust to this place" room, he is just the sweetest! He gives the best head bumps and has the most adorable little chirping meow that I've ever heard! He's even begging to roam the house which I've only gradually been doing since he gets spooked very easily, especially with loud noises (which in a house with 3 kids and a dog, can be very loud 😅). But he has made the most amazing progress in such a short amount of time and he even made his first blanket biscuits 😭. He's definitely going to be a cuddler and I cannot wait for the day he trusts us completely enough to sleep in my lap. Until then, we will match his pace and give him all the love we have! We love Colby Jack so much and we're so glad he's part of our family!”

This is ALL fantastic news! We have no doubt that this little guy who came to us skinny with fleas and an upper respiratory infection, gooey eyes, & missing fur chunks is now finding out what happily ever after means!
❤️
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!

Thank you for the few recent orders sent of supplies. I’m sure I missed thanking a few as we literally are using and distributing supplies as they arrive from donations and our auto deliveries. It’s always a wonderful surprise for our fosters to not worry about making sure we have what we need to take care of everyone. We appreciate anyone contributing towards our supply purchases at Stately Pet Supply as well. We are typically there weekly or biweekly.

We realize so many are struggling, we are also as donations have slowed. Your support means we can continue to care for everyone and be responsible about making new intake decisions of more in need.

All of the faces you see here and so many more appreciate the support given to care for them. Thank you so much for keeping our kitties on your mind! We are nothing without our volunteers & supporters.
❤️🐾❤️

Good morning furriends! We are officially caught up on emails and messages as of this morning. If you were waiting to hear from us and have not gotten a reply please reach out again. We have had several emails going into the junk folder again. It’s very frustrating and we’re not sure how to fix it. We don’t want anyone to be ignored.

Applications are in process and we ask that you please check your phone and email for outreach from us if you are awaiting to hear back.

Please be patient with us as we are all volunteers doing our best to manage everything needed. Doing things right takes time!

I also want to take a moment to thank anyone who recently sent supplies or donations to us. We have been swamped and I’m pretty sure we got a couple deliveries in the last few weeks that I didn’t have time to picture and post. We want you to know we appreciate you all.

Good morning furriends!
As many of you know, when we go quiet on social media it’s because there is too much going on behind the scenes to manage and we were not prepared enough to keep you entertained and informed. Our apologies but this happens in rescue life sometimes. This little guy is just one of the reasons why. More to come on his antics.

Forgive me but this may end up being a long post that I don’t have time to write but need to.

First… If you have pets, please have a plan for them in the event of emergency or worse with you as their caretaker. I don’t care how young or old you are. It’s part of being there for them. Don’t let that plan be assuming a rescue or shelter will be there to handle it for you.

Second… we are quite literally begging for fosters. The requests for help are coming in beyond what any of us can handle. We are full as many are, and these situations continue to happen and pile up. This kitty lost its owner and the landlord put it outside in a cage. This poor cat is friendly but clearly confused and doesn’t understand what is going on or where his person is.

Please have some compassion to make a difference in even just 1 life! Use that spare room, basement/garage space, extra bedroom or office to give a fresh start for a new life to a cat in need. We have a LIST of those in need. Please reach out with questions or apply and we will be happy to talk with you about options.

YOU can make a difference! YOU can be the person who creates a new beginning to a life that deserves it.

Good morning… I think
