Gimme’ Shelter: Gem is just that – a real gem! She’s at the Providence Animal Control Center

Hello to you! I’m Gem and I am just a small fry!

I was left in a carrier behind a vet hospital, rude. Maybe my person left me there for a reason.

You see, when I was brought to PAC they found a large hernia – when I stood up you could see it… it was cool! But hernia’s are dangerous and it needed to be fixed and so they did!

My friends at SPCA did a splendid job repairing me AND I was spayed at the same time, hurray!

I am a curious and sweet girl, I am barely a year old, please ask about me!

***If you can see me, I am 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.
