How did they save 1,000 baby kitties in one weekend?
Read About PACCA "Stepping Outside the Box" and Making History!

This past weekend, the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association (PACCA), an Alliance Participating Organization made history.
That is by dramatically reducing its adoption fees for cats in an effort to incentivize the public to come to the shelter, which was filled to capacity with cats and kittens. This PACCA initiative was set forth in an effort to save lives, and due to the overwhelming response to this special weekend-long program, over 250 cats were adopted!
There was a good amount of feedback generated from the event, and there were some comments made about how our sister Alliance, the Mayor's Alliance for New York City's Animals, weighed in on the issue. Below is a message sent today from the New York City Alliance supporting both the Philadelphia Alliance, and PACCA's lifesaving efforts:
"The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals has not heretofore made any comment, independently or in response to inquires, re: the PACCA adoption event.
However, and for the record, The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals is very proud of its sister Alliance in Philadelphia, which is modeled on the NYC Alliance, and applauds PACCA, a member organization of the Philadelphia Alliance, for its lifesaving efforts on behalf of Philadelphia's felines."
Our thanks to the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals for their support of the Alliance for Philadelphia's Animals and PACCA's special adoption event.
