Here is dashing Donald’s new flyer. We’d love the help of distributing it to help him find a forever home!
Donald is a big ol’ sweetheart of a cat for those who like cats long and lean. He’s about five years old and is ready to bring his special combination of playfulness, calmness and contentment into some lucky person’s home.

The APA! trail site on Lady Bird Lake is a wonderful place for our active dogs to get out and about for some fun and exercise! It also provides a much needed respite from shelter life for the longest-stay dogs in Town Lake Animal Center’s adoption program. The trail site serves a third purpose for APA! and TLAC dogs as well; it is a place where frightened dogs can come and get attention, socialization, and help from an army of caring APA! and TLAC … more

We’re in the middle of kitten season and our program is FULL of cats and kittens – almost 500 – and we need to get them adopted so we can pull more from TLAC.
Unfortunately, we are very low on cages (the wire crates) to house the cats at adoption events. We have fosters who want to bring their foster cats to the adoption events, but not enough cages to house them.
We could use 100 more crates, to accommodate weekends with lots of big adoption events.
