Fairmount Pet Shoppe is holding a blanket and toy drive for dogs in the ACCT shelter.  The shelter is currently in need of blankets, towels and linens to keep the dogs clean and comfortable.They are also asking for donations of Kong brand and Nylabone brand toys to keep the dogs happy and occupied. Fairmount Pet Shoppe is offering 15% off these brands of toys when you are buying them for ACCT dogs.  We have set up a donation box so you can stop in with your donations during store hours.  The shelter dogs thank you!

Fairmount Pet Shoppe Voted "Better Than Best"!

Fairmount Pet Shoppe feels honored to have been voted "Best Place to Hold a Kitten for Free" in Philadelphia Weekly's "Better Than Best" article.

The PW writes about Fairmount Pet Shoppe:
Sometimes, when your day is long, your boss is angry and your computer is making noises, you just want to go pet something furry. But because of your landlord, allergic boyfriend or lack of money for human food, let alone pet food, you don't have a pet of your own. Fortunately, Fairmount Pet Shoppe will let you drop by and play with the five to eight foster animals (usually kitties, although there’s an occasional bunny and a permanent store dog) that hang out in cages in the window. The nice ladies at the shop are securing their places in heaven by fostering cats in the store (they did 146 adoptions last year), so if you move, drop the allergic boyfriend or get a better job, you can adopt there too.

315 Adoptions!

Fairmount Pet Shoppe is very proud to announce that we did 315 pet adoptions since 2009! Despite the slow economy and fewer people looking to take on the responsibility of a pet, many people opened up their hearts and homes to a needy pet. We are so happy for all the cats and dogs that we have helped to find their forever homes. This is the best part of our day when we see another homeless pet welcomed into a new family. We wish all of them the best of luck! Lets all hope that we can help even more pets in 2012!

From Cages to Condos!

Here at Fairmount Pet Shoppe, we have our feline friends' best welfare in mind. After a few weeks of renovation, our new window enclosures are finally complete! These "kitty condos" have plenty of space for exercise as well as 6-tier cat trees! In addition to working with PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society), we are happy to announce our recent partnership with City Kitties Rescue Group! If you are interested in adopting one of our feline residents, our sales associates would be happy to give you more information and provide you with an adoption application! The adoption fee covers first year vaccines, spay/neuter, testing for feline AIDS and leukemia, deworming, and flea treatments. Please call the store if you have any questions!
