5/10/2013 - Oreo and Snickers are happy bunnies!
Hello- I just want to say that I adopted my pet rabbit, Oreo, from Conshohocken in 11/12 and adopted her a friend named, Snickers, from the Abington branch in 2/13. I was able to bond the bunnies together in March and now they live as free roam bunnies in our home. Our bunnies are best buddies and are very happy. They let us know how happy they are every day by doing they're happy jumps and dances. I wanted to thank the SPCA for everything and wanted to let you know they are in in good hands and are very happy. They make me smile every day! Thanks!!

When I was younger we always had pets both cats and a dog who lived very long and happy lives. It's been 5 yrs since we have had a pet and there has been a hole in the house. On thurs 12/13/12 we met an adorable little grey with dark grey stripes at the perky SPCA. After getting prepared and discussing at 11am sharp we arrived and adopted him. We named him Little Admiral. He is the sweetest cat I've ever had. He is already good with my nephews, he likes to cuddle. He does not scratch or bite. He follows me everywhere and is very vocal. I came him a stuffed bunny and he carries it everywhere and plays fetch with it. This cat it precious and dear to me and I know he will be a great cat to have around the house. He had a brother there who was very similar. I hope somebody very loving gives him a good home because I'm sure Admirals brother will be as loving a cat as he is!

11/18/2012 - Our New Dog!!
We just adopted Mel from the Perkiomenville Branch and we could not be happier. He was calm and happy all the way to Petsmart and then home. He is relaxed and plays well with our boys. What a Fantastic Dog. Thanks for letting him come home with us. We hope his buddies at the kennel are as lucky as him someday!!

11/4/2012 - Update on Frank from Abington SPCA
Hi,
My husband and I are the ones who adopted Frank the Himalayan Mix cat named Frank. We renamed him Fox and just wanted to give you an update.
It took a few days for Fox to settle down to eat which we were a little worried about because he really was a little skinny to begin with. But after about 1 1/2 weeks Fox is eating well, sleeping well, King of the House with no other pets to contend with. He is the most loving cat I have ever owned. He is definitely a lap cat and loves to hug (literally hug you with his paws). He is just a awesome cat and we still can't believe how lucky we are to have found him. I really do think it was Karma!!! We did find a few fleas, but we took care of that... He also has some skin irritation on his back near his tail. I think it might be some sort of skin eczema... He will be going to the vet as soon as I get a day off. But other than than he is happy, healthy, and mostly a lover boy! Thank you and hope all the other cats get as lucky as Fox and us.

10/29/2012 - Maximilian nee Max A Million
I had to place Max (my male gray tabby cat) up for adoption at the Conshohocken facility in about April of 2012 due to some issues with other cats in my new apartment complex roaming the hallways (that situation has now been corrected). Fortunately, the SPCA was able to place Max with a new home rather quickly and I was advised when I called to check at the facility that Max has been doing well with his new family. I wanted to say thank you to Max's new family for rescuing him and taking him into their home. I miss him very much, especially now that my other cat became ill and has since been put down. He is such a sweet and gentle little guy, full of fun.

We adopted 2 beagles from the perkiomenville shelter a few weeks ago, and couldn't be happier. Our cat of 20 years died last week so we brought them home at just the right time. They have truly been a blessing, much thanks goes out to the SPCA for everything they do and for bring us our girls!

On June 4th we adopted from the Conshohocken branch a kitty named Honey..now named Pixie. We just love her so much already! She was so shy at the shelter but once we got her home she really came out of her shell. Turns out she is a very wild and mischievious and she makes us laugh all the time. What a great addition to our family our "wild girl" has been so glad we picked her!

5/26/2012 - Pet update Perkiomenville Branch
Hello We adopted Scout a 2 1/2 year old golden retriever back in October.(sadly this was his second visit to the SPCA) We stopped in with him to visit twice and didn't see the original people who had first "showed" him to us, Adopting him was the best thing we may ever have done! He is so much fun and seems to be loving us as much as we love him! I am sorry...he will NOT EVER be returning to the shelter to be dumped. His permanent home has been found and we couldn't be happier!!! Alot of people seemed to care for him at the Perk SPCA so we wanted to let them know he is a very happy puppy, as are we!! :)

5/2/2012 - Flipsy now known as Stripes
Just wanted to let you know that Flipsy now known as Stripes is doing very well. We brought him home on April 15 and love him so much. He is such a sweet guinea pig and wonderful pet for our family! Your employees were wonderful in helping us make the decision to bring Stripes home. They took the time to answer our questions and even gave us starter supplies. Thank you for a job well done in helping all our little friends find their forever homes!
