Austin Pets Alive! kitten caretakers have been in the throes of organizing, stocking up, and preparing for kitten season which typically kicks off in full force around mid-March. Last year this Neonatal Kitten Program rescued 1,032 kittens, including mom cats with newborns, into the Nursery with round the clock volunteers providing the critical care they need. That is a significant contribution to the No-Kill efforts in Austin for 2011. A calendar featuring babies from last year is available online with all proceeds directly benefiting the Neonatal Ward.

It seems Pockie came from a family as she goes potty outside, behaves well on a leash, knows how to “sit”, and just loves to be loved on by everyone. Her lower activity level suggests that a breath of fresh air each day is all she needs to keep that calm, content demeanor. However, the dog team noticed Pockie has been … more

This month, we’re calling attention to our beautiful dogs who happen to have heartworms. We’ve picked 10 dogs and put together a special adoption package for them to help them find love this month.
These dogs’ adoption fees have been lowered to $50, which includes the heartworm treatment that our vet clinic will do with you.
They’ll also come with puzzle toys from Firecracker Dog, to give them something to do while they are in the stage of treatment when they need to be kept calm.
Austin Doga has thrown in a free gift certificate for all adopters. … more

My name is Ramone. I’m a sweet, big-hearted cat who has fallen on a bit of bad luck. I was recently moved into Dazey’s Ward, where the lovely volunteers who are treating my ringworm noticed I have a limp in my hind legs and a lot of pain in my back. I’ve been such a trooper through it all, still trying to pull myself up onto laps for snuggles and braving car rides to the clinic. I’ve been put on some … more
