Clear the Shelters: Kitty Kam

As NBC10 and Telemundo62 work with local animal shelters to #ClearTheShelters on Aug. 15, you can get ready by checking out the exclusive “Kitty Kam” for the event.

The “Kitty Kam” shows off some of the adorable animals up for adoption at the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society’s Grant Avenue location.

"There's no telling what you may see on the camera," said PAWS executive director Melissa Levy. "But it's hopefully going to be a little peek into their happy life at PAWS."

PAWS creates room where the cats can feel comfortable and have fun as they await for a loving permanent home.

"We have wheels for them to run on and things for them to climb on and boxes for them to snuggle up in," said Levy.

The wheel -- "it's like a huge hamster wheel" that some cats completely ignore while others run on it "like a cheetah" -- draws a crowd of people inside and outside the shelter, said Levy.

PAWS, like many of the shelters that have pets up for adoption on #ClearTheShelters Day, has a feline for everyone.

"If an adopter wants a really playful, frisky cat, we know who fits the bill, and if somebody just wants a cat to snuggle up with them on the couch we know who (that cat) is too," said Levy.

Levy had a message for people that may watch the cats but aren't sure about adoption.

"If your attention is piqued, just come on in," said Levy.

PAWS’ Northeast Philadelphia center is located at 1810 Grant Avenue and is open seven days a week. If you visit the shelter on Saturday, you can adopt a pet without paying some of the normal fees so help NBC10 and Telemundo62 #ClearTheShelters.

Would-be participants of a mud run near Philadelphia are having a bit of trouble getting their money back after the event was canceled.

The mud run, put on by LoziLu, was set for August 1. On July 31, the company's Facebook page posted that the race had been canceled and would not be rescheduled. Although the post said all racers would receive a refund, participants are still wondering where their money is.

LoziLu used Active.com, an event registration service, for its racers to pay the racer registration fee.

According to Royale Britton, a customer support representative from Active.com, participants must call the website's customer service line at 877-228-4881 and specifically request a refund.

According to LoziLu, the race was to take place at Varner Farms in Collegeville, about one hour outside of Center City. However, Obstacle Racing Media reported that the owners of Varner Farms said the race was never going to happen on their property and that they had "been trying to get [LoziLu] to stop advertising our location since January.”
