Gimme’ Shelter: Meet John at the Providence Animal Control Center
It’s me, John! I was surrendered by my aging owner when she could no longer care for me. I was SO stressed about it but finally I am coming out of my shell.
You know what I really love? FEMALE CATS! Oh boy, I think they are so cool and fun to see and play with. I also really love wand toys, oh wow, there is so much out there that I never knew about, and I am so excited to see it all!
I am a large sized kitty who is only 3 years, old. Cheers to new beginnings!



If you can see us, we are still available! No phone calls please, everything is done online and we do need an application submitted and approved before scheduling a visit. 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 [email protected]
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.
