Interview with PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE
June 24thth, 2009
Hosted by: Madi, The Cat
Kritters That Twitter
MADI: Hello, and thanks for meeting me at the Kritter Koffeehouse. I am very excited to be speaking with you today and greatly appreciate your time. Before we get started, I just want to point out that just like everything associated with the Kritter Kommunity, Kritters That Twitter is specifically designed for Animals and Animal Lovers. The Kritter Koffeehouse is open daily and serves beverages and snacks for both Animals and Hoomans. That being said, I see you are a Hooman…..could I offer you a coffee, tea, water?
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE:
Hi Madi! I am so happy to meet with you too! I am very much a Hooman, but I am ok, no need for a drink! Thank you anyway!
MADI: Lets jump in and get started; we are eager to learn more about you and your rescue! We love Philadelphia, but know there is a big problem with stray kitties….Tell us about your organization.
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE: Prancing Paws is a not for profit no kill stray cat and feral kitten rescue. We focus on cats that are on the street first, as our rescue feels that they are the most in danger. If our rescue has room we pull from local kill shelters and accept owner surrenders. We spay/neuter, test for FIV/FeLV, vaccinate, flea treat and deworm each cat and kitten before they are adopted out. We also work with low income persons who cannot afford to spay/neuter their cats and kittens. We have also partnered with a dog rescue to give us both more publicity, Wet Nose Rescue. They are a great no kill dog and puppy rescue, they rescue dogs from South Carolina.
MADI: When did you start Prancing Paws?
PRANCING PAWS: March 2009, but we have always opened our homes to strays way before we were ever a rescue.
MADI: What inspired you to start Prancing Paws?
PRANCING PAWS: I know this sounds harsh, but the utter lack of humanity in humans. I see suffering cats and kittens everyday. I don’t mean suffering as a cold or broken limb, I mean suffering as in dying. How could I not do anything?
MADI: How many kitties have you found forever homes for? I don’t really know since we have placed cats before our rescue status, but I would say we have had about 2 adoptions per week since March 2009. So I would say roughly 24 cats.
PRANCING PAWS: Our best story is a family who adopted 3 beautiful black Bombay sisters together, who our rescue took from a local kill shelter before they where euthanized. These sisters now have their forever home, and they have it together! I was so happy about this I cried.
MADI: Awww, *sniffs* I is crying too….. here you go *hands Amanda a box of tissues* okay, sorry that was sad, with a very happy ending….. let’s do continue……Who are some of your Sponsors?
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE: Sears Outlet Stores, Monster Pets
MADI: Your organization sounds PAWESOME; thank you for helping so many Kitty Kats!!!! NOSETAPS to you! What a great cause and the animals all sound adorable; what can people do to help them find a furever home?
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE:
Thank you so much Madi, and thank you for your wonderful question! We try so hard to help these cats! The biggest thing people can do to help is offer their homes as a temporary foster home. The more foster homes we have, the more cats we can save, the more cats that are able to be adopted and not on the street.
MADI: Prancing Paws is obviously an important cause, what can people and other animals do to help?
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE:
Just spay or neuter their pets. I don’t think people realize the importance of it. I receive so many stoires at adoption events how a cat they own or have owned has had so many litters and cute kittens. I had one woman tell me about her 16 year old cat recently giving birth. These stories always really upset me.
MADI: Many Kwitters (Kritters that Twitter) are going to want to stay in touch with your organization. Do you have a Blog, website, are you on Twitter? Can they email you?
PRANCING PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE:
They are more than welcome to email me at pparcats@gmail.com, or pparadoptions@gmail.com. Our official web site is http://ppar.rescuegroups.org, and we are on petfinder as well. Our donation list and adoption information is located on the web site.
MADI: Thank you so much for your time today! We have enjoyed learning more about you and Prancing Paws of Philadelphia…… it is truly an amazing organization! We hope to see you again soon at the Kritter Koffeehouse; thank you so much for all you do!!!

We need to give all animals a voice! God bless you and your efforts.
Yay for animal rescues!!
We have two rescued cats — one we found on the street in LA when he was a tiny kitten, the other we adopted as an adult out of a severely overcrowded no-kill shelter. They are amazing creatures and bring us so much joy!

It is so nice to hear about other people caring about cats, especially strays, and are doing everything they can to help the sad situation. Keep up the good work!
I met Amanda a couple of times, she is very pleasant to talk to and so very helpful. Thanks!

Good luck and continue to do what you are doing. It would be wonderful if there were more people like you on this planet.
Very generous of you!!! I am happy to know people like you:)
Prancing Paws helped us out even before they were an official rescue group when a stray out front had kittens. They took the kitten in so we could focus on getting the mom spayed and socialized. She now lives with us and our 3 others and is such a sweetheart.
Well done!
I rescued a dog just over a year and a half ago, and i have to say, best decision i ever made! Keep up the good work!
Good luck! I hope you raise a lot of money.
I love cats

This is so awesome! I love animals and the fact that you do all this amazing stuff takes someone special, you!
Glad to help you out! Thank you for caring!
good luck
My neighbors and I found a stray kitten or should I say she found us and I couldn’t find anyone to help until Prancing paws emailed me and offered to take her in. They found her and another kitten they had a home together and stayed in contact with me and gave updates so we all knew how Penny was doing. They even offered to help spay/neuter local cats that we may have seen. They are doing a great thing!!!!
Wonderful interview! Funny side note: Amanda is the name of the rescuer in my book. Amanda you are doing God’s work and may he bless you. Thanks for sharing.
Way to go guys. Love the little kittie kats…
Thanks for all you do.
I wanted to help these poor animals
