My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



Make your Monday's fun again with Garfield! A cartoonishly cute little critter, Garfield is pretty social and interactive once he gets used to his people -- and a few offerings of delicious leafy greens doesn't hurt the cause, just no lasagna. Garfield was originally a classroom piggy and was surrendered to PAWS over the summer with his brother Odie (Odie is also available from his foster home; they needed to be separated due to Odie needing to have an issue with a tooth corrected), but they were recently returned to us due to a cross country move.

If you have the time and space to work on reintroductions for Garfield and Odie we would be happy to help with that, but if not Garfield would be able to join a new home and blend in with other male piggies looking for a friend.

You can learn more about our Small Animal Adoption Program and find the application to adopt them by visiting our website at https://phillypaws.org/adopt/small-animals/. 

Meet me at: 
PAWS Adoption Center
100 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
â€𡿏-238-9901 ext.30

**Our Old City Adoption Center is no longer requiring masks for all people in the building but is still limiting capacity to a maximum occupancy of 12 people (including staff/volunteers) due to the overall size of the center. We still encourage wearing a mask for everyone, and staff will be as supportive as possible of that decision if you choose to wear one. We are prioritizing any appointments made by already approved applicants and can potentially entertain browsers and walk-ins as that capacity allows (we just can't promise any same day adoptions if you haven't yet applied). To ensure your best experience and chance at meeting potential matches to add to your family, we recommend completing the application ahead of time on our website at phillypaws.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application!!!**
