Mystic is a sweet cat with a gentle heart, though he can be a bit shy at first. With a little patience, he warms up quickly! He thrives in calm environments and does best without kids, as they can overwhelm him. Mystic gets along wonderfully with other cats and small dogs. We did find out recently that he has Hyperthyroidism and will more than likely need to stay on medication the rest of his life. Right now it is only half a pill once a day, he goes back to the vet in December for a recheck as this may also change. He celebrated his fourth birthday on October 20, 2025, ready to bring quiet charm to a peaceful home!

All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all shots prior to adoption. Adoption fees range from $50 to $650, based on the age and health of each individual animal.
Please apply as the first step. We can not discuss details for any particular animal if you have not yet applied to adopt.
All steps in our adoption process are aimed at making a good match between pet and adopter. You will be asked to complete an application form. Once your application review is complete, a Clay County Animal Shelter volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit to look for potential hazards for the animal that the adopter may not have considered. All household members must be present during the home visit. This includes all pets. Once approved to adopt, Volunteers will suggest pets currently in our foster care program who may be a good fit for you and your family. We can also discuss specific animals in our care that you are interested in meeting and adopting.

More about this shelter
Clay County Animal Shelter is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization. The Clay County Animal Shelter (CCAS), aka “Annie’s Dream”, was founded as a no-kill shelter in 2000 by Clay County residents Annie McClintock and vets, Drs. Steve and Polly McDonald in Henrietta, TX.
The shelter’s mission is to provide an alternative to euthanizing abandoned cats and dogs in Clay County. CCAS takes in, cares for, and trains its cats and dogs as our animal handlers work to find forever homes for them, no matter how long it takes. CCAS also provides programs, when we have grants to do so, to encourage spaying/neutering to control overpopulation, such as its free spay-and neuter clinic that treated 184 cats and dogs.
