Why Comfort & Love?
When homeless animals come into a shelter, it is most likely because they have experienced abuse, neglect or abandonment. Any animal shelter is a stressful place. Pillows for Paws believes that the emotional well-being of these animals is a crucial factor in helping their overall health.
PFP's mission is to support a positive environment for shelter animals. The group does so by providing comfort items such as cozy beds, toys to keep them active, and yummy treats. When an animal feels supported and loved, they have a greater sense of ease and calm. Plus, they have a better chance of being adopted when they are relaxed.
Our Volunteers
Monthly meetings have been put on hold due to the pandemic through the Summer 2020. Volunteers usually meet to make handmade beds and toys for shelter cats, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Our location is the Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church in Manhattan. Please stay tuned for future schedule updates.
Our mission still remains the same, even though our world is just a little different right now. In fact, whether they are at the shelter or in foster care, animals need us more than ever. Pillows for Paws is shifting gears into the virtual world to reflect the new needs of the shelter animals we serve at Animal Care Centers of NYC.
