Gimme’ Shelter – Meet “Ponyo” at the Providence Animal Control Center
There is no easy way to put this… I was surrendered because I didn’t seem to like the new kitten in the home and was not so happy about it. I was basically the fluffy king until, well, I wasn’t. I wasn’t neutered either which added a whole new layer to everything.
I’m working through it now, though, and now that I am neutered, I am finally beginning to relax and getting happy. I can be found in my condo relaxing in a BIG bed and you know, I don’t seem to mind my neighbors now that I am in a larger space but the jury is out on if I would be happy living another feline.
I could be the king again – maybe in your home? Thanks for reading my story! I am about 3 to 4 years old.

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.
