May 2016 News & Events from Centre County PAWS

Hi <<First Name>>!

Attendees at Yappy Hour during Centre Gives

You helped Centre County PAWS have the best Centre Gives to date! 403 wonderful donors raised $42,005.00 during the online giving campaign. Your support also helped PAWS win the following prizes:

  • $1,000 Happy Hour prize
  • $1,000 2nd place finish prize
  • Two - $250.00 random prizes
  • Total without match: $44,505.00!

Despite the challenges faced during this year’s campaign, you came through for us. We are so grateful that you clearly recognize PAWS as a tremendous non-profit to support.  Funds raised during Centre Gives will provide medical care for our cats and dogs. Thank you.

Kittens at PAWS

VOLUNTEER NEEDS
Kitten Foster Families

Kitten foster homes needed! PAWS already has 12 litters of kittens and we know more will arrive soon. As kitten season begins, we are hoping to find more willing volunteers to foster kittens and mom cats with newborns until they can be adopted.

Potential fosters need to be able to provide a clean and safe environment for the kittens, and have time to see to their daily care needs. PAWS takes care of all supplies and medical and care-related costs.

Please visit our website to learn more about how to become a PAWS' foster family.
