Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Interesting to know what is the twisted definition of feral because it isn't any that I am familiar with. I do not live in Austin but when I came home today someone who claims to "work with" the shelters in Austin was in my garage. She has claimed before to take animals from this area to austin for adoption. Our family had given her a cat several years ago that she coveted for her granddaughter. From our conversation I will sum up: 1. she wants my kittens because the shelter needs them, because people call wanting to adopt kittens and the shelter does not have any; 2. she has been putting food out down the street and luring my cats to travel there, so that she can call them feral; 3. although I have several petsmart purchased cat houses in the garage area, she is claiming that the cats have no shelter; 4. she INSISTED that I pick up my lactating mother cat because she was sure she saw testicles on it so she know it wasn't fixed thus I could not possibly care for my cats; 5. she made several strong remarks that I took as threats about how her and her group had just worked with police about charging someone not far from where I live with because the dog was "underfed." ( i hav a dog and it is well fed on blue buffalo). yes, I want to take out a restraining order to keep her away from us. Is this really representative of your organization and its needs. My cats had their needs met...now they are wandering the neighborhood lured by food put out to lure them to prove they are feral so you can take a few kittens for adoption fees?? Really?? Oh, and she plans to continue to stalk our home, so she can take those pictures you need for posting for adoptions. Because, as she makes so clear, Austin no-kill needs her help. I wish I had the guts to ask you to call her off, but from her I get the understanding that if I try to attempt to keep what was mine, she'll get her "group" to come after my dog too.
