My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shrew and some of his cat buddies were left to fend for themselves after their owner moved, so they were brought to AAS. Because he is shy and is not used to humans, he is a member of our Cactus Cats program, and is benefiting from clicker training to build his confidence.

Shrew enjoys playing, so using a wand toy to engage him is a good way to help him become more comfortable. He also needs a cat friend, especially one who is social and confident.

Shrew needs a home with a very cat experienced and patient adopter who will help him as he continues to relax around people.

I am a DHC, and I have my own webpage!

The adoption fee is waived for Shrew and ALL Cactus Cats/Desperate Housecats!

Additional adoption info

Our shelter has more than 500 available cats and dogs every day!
For pets at the shelter: Adoptions must be completed in-person at the shelter. AAC is open for adoption walk-ins every day from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. A shelter pet’s availability can change at any time, so we recommend choosing a few favorites.
For pets in foster: Go to www.AustinAnimalCenter.org to find the pet's profile and click that pet's pink “Adopt Me” button. This will prompt you to complete an adoption questionnaire. Submitting an application does not hold the animal for you.
We have dozens of animals that won't be listed online yet because they're still in their stray hold period, but can be pre-adopted at the shelter in case their owner doesn't come for them.

Adoption Fees:
$80 cats up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 kittens up to 6 months
$120 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
No fee for senior pets 7 years and older

Go meet their pets

The Austin Animal Center is open for adoptions every day from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please note, Adoption and Pet Resource Center lines close at 6:00 p.m. We're closed Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving Day to give our staff some time with family.
Interested adopters should come to the shelter during business hours to meet with a counselor start looking for a pet who'll be a good fit. Our counselors and volunteers are happy to help with that process.
