At Whiskers N Paws (WNP), our mission is to act as a bridge between homeless pets and loving families. While we are a premium pet supply destination, we are even more proud to serve as an official event venue and urban foster partner for Hong Kong’s leading rescue organisations.
We believe that every pet deserves a "furever" home. By transforming our store into a vibrant community hub, we provide a platform where rescue animals can be seen, loved and adopted. Here is how we support animal welfare:
1. An 18-Year Legacy: HKDR Puppy Adoption Days
Since 2008, Sundays at WNP have been synonymous with hope. In partnership with Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR), we host weekly Puppy Adoption Days. This long-standing commitment has helped hundreds of puppies find their families.
-
When: Every Sunday | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
-
Where: Whiskers N Paws, Ap Lei Chau
-
The Goal: Providing a stress-free, social environment for puppies to meet potential adopters outside of a kennel setting.
2. Dedicated Foster & Adoption Corners
Visibility is key to finding a home. WNP provides dedicated Adoption Corners within our store, serving as "urban foster hubs" this space allow pets to meet the public in a cozy, domestic-style setting.
-
HKDR Dog Corner: A space for dogs of all sizes to showcase their unique personalities.
-
LAP (Lifelong Animal Protection) Corner: A dedicated interactive zone for cats under LAP's care.
Professional Daily Care: The daily needs of our foster residents are managed entirely by our dedicated Whiskers N Paws staff. Our team provides round the clock attention, ensuring every cat and dog feels safe and loved.
Training for Adoptability: Through the fostering process, our staff works closely with the animals to socialize them in a busy retail environment. This training helps them become more confident and "adoptable," making their transition into a real home much smoother.
Expert Matching: Because our team spends every day with these animals, we gain deep insights into their unique habits, temperaments and quirks. This allows us to provide potential adopters with honest, detailed profiles, ensuring a perfect match for both the pet and the family.
Love that Leads to Adoption: The bond between our team and these rescues is so strong that many of our staff members have ended up adopting the pets they once fostered. These "foster fail" success stories are a testament to the incredible connection rescue animals bring to our lives; they have a special way of melting even the most professional hearts.
3. Annual Adoption Milestones: Celebrating a Year of Rescues
Transparency drives change. Every year, we update our Adoption Success Numbers, tracking exactly how many cats and dogs have found homes through the events and foster corners hosted at WNP. Over the years, we are proud to have helped more than 2,800 pets find their "furever" homes. These numbers are a testament to the compassion of our community.
4. Self Dog Wash service: Washing for a Cause
Since 2018, our Self-Service Dog Wash has allowed pet owners to support local rescues while keeping their pups clean.
-
100% Proceeds Donated: Every dollar generated goes directly toward our community work.
-
Major Milestone: Between 2022 and 2025, our community raised a staggering over HKD $600k through this service alone.
5. Pet Tag Wall: Shop for a Cause
Our Pet Tag Wall makes giving back easy and rewarding. It’s a favourite among our community:
