Humane Pennsylvania Renames Lancaster Facility as the Betsy & Ted Lewin Adoption Center for Cats and Critters

We’re proud to announce the renaming of the Lancaster Adoption Center for Cats & Critters to the Betsy & Ted Lewin Adoption Center for Cats and Critters, honoring two extraordinary supporters of Humane Pennsylvania. For nearly 20 years, Betsy Lewin—award-winning illustrator of beloved children’s books like Click, Clack, Moo—and her late husband Ted Lewin, a Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator and former wrestler-turned-author, generously supported Humane PA and our Art for Arf’s Sake Auction with their time, talent, and heart. This dedication is a tribute to their legacy of compassion, creativity, and love for animals.

FYI: Reading and Lancaster Adoption Centers CLOSED Sunday, 7/20

Both the Lancaster and Reading shelters will be closed to the public today, Sunday, July 20th. We will reopen tomorrow at 10 AM.

This DOES NOT impact existing appointments for pet boarding drop off or pick up.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but because we are open seven days a week, we sometimes need to close to perform maintenance. We appreciate your understanding!
