I wish more cities would be like this. I admire Austin TX for this more than their Deaf Community out there. Austin TX is a great place to be. Those who lives in Austin are lucky.

I'll tell you what... our chipped cat went missing about a year ago. We went ALL OVER looking for him. All the Austin shelters and whatnot. Nothing. Then finally we learned that Pflugerville had their OWN shelter run by the city. We are actually surrounded by others here. Went there and found our cat. He was scheduled to be put down the next day. They didn't even scan his chip. Claimed it wasn't working which turned out not to be true.

Mothertruckers!

Austin does have an over-population problem. Emancipet is one organization that offers free spay and neutering services for anyone who lives on the EAST of I-35 regardless of income level. Love it and am honored to have donated to support their cause.

Wow, I cannot believe that Pflugerville shelter would be run like that. Terrible!! Lucky that your cat didn't die at their hand.

Thank for information on Emancipet. I would love to look into it. I would hope that other people on AD and in area would too.

Emancipet

They have a portable surgical room that they drive all over town offering free spay and neuter services and low-cost vaccinations for the those who can't drive or afford to go far (no income required but you do have to show up at the site on time).
