Pals for Paws is contacting families who have adopted from us in the past, and others who have helped us with rescues. We want to thank you for helping us help the homeless and abandoned pets in central Indiana and across the nation. We assisted over 1000 homeless animals in 2009, and we are in desperate need of financial help. We currently owe over $12,000 in medical bills, as we have been overwhelmed with animals being left homeless due to the economy. Many people do not want to take their animals to the shelter, so they are dumping them or just leaving them behind to fend for themselves. We have taken in several dogs in need of medical attention due to infections, starvation, heartworm, and other problems.
At the same time, we have suffered a large drop in donations as over 9000 jobs have been lost in Howard County alone. We are a 501c3 not for profit, and all donations are tax deductable. We can send a receipt for tax purposes. Also we are 100% volunteer, so all proceeds go to the care of the animals. Thank you for helping support us in the past. With out the help of people like your selves, we would not be able to continue our mission. We may have to close the rescue if we do not get the funding to pay off the medical bills we currently owe, as we cannot continue to provide medical help or spaying and neutering for the animals.
Even small donations add up, and will help us to make payments on our bill. If you know of someone looking to adopt, our animals are fully vetted and spayed or neutered upon adoption. We are heart broken to think we will be unable to continue our mission to help those animals being left homeless due to the economy. Please help us to give them hope.
Please make checks payable to Pals for Paws. Our address is PO Box 1034 Kokomo, IN 46903. Donations can also be made through paypal on our website at palsforpawsinc.com.
We sincerely appreciate your help. On behalf of the animals, we thank you.

Freeway has 8 lives to go!

On July 13th, 2006 I was stuck behind a gas tanker truck at a red light on US 31 in the left turn lane. When the light turned green, I saw this tiny kitten fly out of the back wheel well of the truck and thrown about 25 feet into the grassy median. I turned into a nearby gas station, ran across the highway into the median, and began searching for the kitten.

I found the little kitten lying in the tall grass panting and scared to death. Her eyes were as big as marbles. I picked her up, put her in my lap, and took her home. After being examined by a local vet, the 7 week old kitten was found to have a dislocated front shoulder and a broken elbow. “Freeway” also had a broken pelvis. A splint was put on her front leg for six weeks. Since her pelvis was not separated, it healed naturally. She never seemed to be in any pain while she was hurt.

Freeway is healing well but still walks with a slight limp and plays like a normal little kitty cat. You would never have known she suffered a near death experience. She has a sweet disposition and is beautifully marked. She is one very lucky kitten.
