Gimme’ Shelter – We love Orson…
We love Orson!
Hi there! I was a stray roaming the streets and had a nice feeder who trapped me and right to the ER I went! I had a bite mark on my face from fighting other un-neutered cats like myself. I am better now and no more fighting for me since I am neutered! I am FIV+ but don’t let that stop you from taking me home. I am a good boy! Us street cats are sometimes okay with dogs and okay with cats too. I am only 2 to 3 years old!
*If you can see me, I am still available! No phone calls please, everything is done online and we do need an application submitted and approved before scheduling a visit. 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.
