Gimme Shelter: Ed at the Providence Animal Control Center

Hey, I’m Ed – and some call me Ed Bighead! I came to PAC as a surrender when my humans couldn’t take me with them when they moved. I was sad and confused but the kind people at PAC thought I was a cutest with my big head and my big cheeks and my crinkle ear.

I am shy but warming up, catnip is a great icebreaker! I also love wet food too. I am a big cat who actually needs some groceries… my body will get chunkier while my cheeks deflate, I’ll still be cute either way! I would like to live with other chunky, introverted cats please!

If you can see me, we are still available! We prefer everything regarding adoption be done via email, this way we can answer any time or day! We do need an application submitted before scheduling a visit. If you don’t have access to email, no worries, please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you’ve chosen to become a new family member! Please email PACadoptions@providenceri.gov or adoptions@friendsofpaccc.org

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education, and continues to engage the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.

As of November 2015, the Animal Control Division has adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals and will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our Facebook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
