Winston's Friends: Cares4Pets

This weeks featured “Friends of Winston” are from Cares4Pets and each of their names start with ‘B’! Cares4Pets is a “volunteer, foster-based rescue group focusing primarily on street rescue and helping reduce the population of unwanted strays in Philadelphia.” Most of their volunteers are veterinary students.

Blossom is a young tabby cat less than six months old. Blossom was rescued from a high-kill shelter after Cares4Pets was called. Blossom needed to have surgery because she had a dislocated hip. Blossom is almost recovered from her surgery and is ready to find her forever home.  She gets along well with other cats, dogs, and children. Blossom is spayed, house-trained, and up to date on shots.

Meet Bruce! Bruce is a miniature all-white purebred poodle. He is a people person and loves to do everything with you! Bruce loves to be pet, he likes to play, and enjoys going on walks. He also likes to dance and give hugs! Bruce is already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.

Winston’s last friend of the day is Bonnie. Bonnie is an American Staffordshire Terrier Mix puppy that was saved by Cares4Pets from being put down at a local shelter. Bonnie is currently in foster care with her brother Clyde. Bonnie does have demodex, a non-contagious type of mange, which she is currently being treated for with medicine.  Bonnie’s favorite activity is snuggling. She desperately wants someone who wants to cuddle with. Cares4Pets has listed Bonnie as Urgent, so if you are interested in adopting her please contact them.

If interested in adopting Bruce, Bonnie, or Blossom, or interested in fostering animals contact Cares4Pets at cares4pets@hotmail.com. Their adoption fees range from $50 to $250 depending on the animal and health status. The adoption procedure requires an application, a meeting at the foster home, and a home visit as well as veterinary checks.
