The Paw House: Our Cats Are Flying

We have been very busy at our new location inside the PetSmart of Commack. The new facilities are a smash hit with The Paw House volunteer crew and our furry friends. Everything is working out wonderfully. Our cats have have been flying out of The Paw House lately. This week 4 of our cats will be placed in loving homes. Here are some photos of our new adoption center:

The Paw House Has A New Home!

The current real estate doldrums has not stopped The Paw House from finding a spanking new home! The Paw House adoption center is now located in a newly built PetSmart store located at 2160 Jericho Tpke Commack NY, 11725 featuring state of the art facilities including a dedicated adoption room that can showcase up to 9 animals!

Today is a new beginning for The Paw House volunteers who will now be working closely with a team of dedicated PetSmart professionals who are truly committed to the welfare of homeless animals in our communities.

There will be a Grand Opening Celebration at the new Commack PetSmart on Saturday April 19th starting at noon. Be there! It will surely be lots of fun for both humans and animals alike.

Long Island Cat Rescue: Help Feral Cats

If it were not for the dedicated volunteers at The Paw House, the beautiful cats and kittens we have for adoption would most likely end up in county animal shelters where their fate would be certian death or living harsh lives as feral cats.

Long Island Animal Rescue: Baby Rats Need A Home

My friend Lenore's pet rat Shawn gave birth recently and her babies need homes. Lenore purchased Shawn under the belief that she was male a rat. That's what the pet store clerk advised her. Oviously the clerk was mistaken and Lenore got more than she bargained for! She does not want to give the babies to the pet store out of fear that they will be sold as snake food. I have posted some cute photos below to aid in their adoption.

Many people have negative feelings about rats. However, rats are intelligent, playful and affectionate animals. They are highly social and possess a lifespan of 2 - 3 years. They make great starter pets for kids and adults alike.

Long Island Animal Rescue: Rose Sofia Saves Lobster

Rose Sofia Saves Giant Lobster

Any visitor to The Paw House website would easily and logically come to the conclusion that we are only involved in Long Island cat rescue. While we do specialize in cat rescue, we are willing to lend a helping hand to any animal in need. Here is a great example.

A local King Kullen supermarket acquired an extremely huge lobster. Apparently old and very large lobsters don't make good meals so the King Kullen manager decided to use the lobster to drum up publicity for the store. The lobster was cruelly confined to a display tank that could barely accommodate is large size. Fortunately for the lobster, Rose Sofia caught wind of this and took it upon herself to come to the aid of the cruelly confined crustation. The lobster would not have lived very long under the condition it was being kept. So Rose Sofia convinced the manager to allow her to ship it to Maine where it was released back into the ocean.
