Kathryn Panko
Volunteer of the Month
Congratulations to Kathryn Panko, the February volunteer of the month. Kathy has been volunteering with us for over a year now and she is a true pleasure to have on our team.
Kathy is an avid dog lover and has spent endless hours walking, snuggling and helping get animals adopted. Our staff can count on Kathy’s help and superior matchmaking skills when a potential adopter is searching for a new pet. “I look forward to going to the PSPCA every week because I love working with all the dogs. I am always excited for the dogs when I discover they have found a happy new home with a great family.”
Thank you Kathy, for being a driving force with our adoption efforts and for always being someone we can count on.
We have 60 animals in foster care! But we still need to find more foster homes for our animals. Foster Parent volunteers provide caring temporary homes to homeless pets needing individualized attention and little extra “TLC.” They may be recovering from illness, need socialization, or too young to be placed in a forever home just yet.
Our foster volunteers are critical to the shelter’s ability to save the lives of adoptable pets in our community, because they allow us to “expand” the capacity of the SPCA to help animals in need. When you join in our Foster Family

You can foster pets like Nugget! We receive many pets that are too young or small, have health issues, or are too shy and scared to be adopted right away. For more information, contact Lou Siaosi today. Our animals need you!
Adoption Program Helps Orphaned Cats Find HomesPilot program has seen results of up to 40 percent increase in adoptions; up to 46 percent decrease in euthanasia of adult cats at beta-test facilities
Feline-ality uses detailed research-based surveys and behavior assessments, both for cats and potential adopters, to make the best matches possible between the two. The cat assessment reliably predicts, based on its Feline-ality, how an individual cat is likely to behave in its new home. An adopter’s survey identifies the characteristics of the adopter’s preferences and lifestyle that correlate with specific feline-alities. Adopters can then look for the cats with the specific feline-alities they feel would be a good fit for their household and identify them by colors and sub-categories.
For example, a cat with a green color-coded description would be a “Party Animal”, “MVP” or “Leader of the Band.” Green cats are savvy, unflappable and adventurous. A cat with an orange classification makes a great companion kitty, and would be called a “Sidekick,” “Executive” or “Personal Assistant.” A cat with a purple classification is one that seeks affection, is quiet and stays out of trouble. It could be called a “Secret Admirer,” “Love Bug” or “Private Investigator.”
