My story

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

Hello!!! My name is Darwin and foster mom says that I am the sweetest senior gentleman she has ever met. As you can see from my photos, I am a handsome Seal Point Siamese. I am friendly, vocal, and love pets, though I am not a fan of being picked up. That's because I am blind and deaf and being taken off solid ground scares me a bit. But don't worry, I can get around with no problem, I just go a bit slower because I have to feel my way.  And once I know the lay of the land, there's no stopping me. Vroom!!!



I was found on the streets of Houston, blind and deaf, fending for myself. When I finally got taken to the shelter by a good Samaritan, the shelter only gave me 24 hours before they were going to euthanize me. They thought that no one would want an old, blind, and deaf stray, but they were wrong.  Foster moms Nancy and Kaitlyn thought I deserved a chance at life, so they saved me and brought me to Austin. 



I am approximately 12 years old and, aside from being blind and deaf, I am also toothless. But, I don't need any special food or medication. I am just fine and very happy to eat hard kibble. My only special need is that, although I use my litterbox faithfully for pee pee, I often miss with my poop and it ends up right outside the box. But foster mom says it's not hard to clean up because I have Tootsie Roll poop.



I know it's a lot to ask, but could you find it in your heart to open your home up to a kitty like me? I know that I have special needs, but I will pay you back with all the unconditional love you can handle. I am worth saving and living a long life to come. Is that with you?

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Go to our website Austinsiameserescue.org. Click adopt under the interested pet and this will take you to the application.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters go through a careful screening process to include reference checks, telephone interviews, and where appropriate, home visits. No cat will be placed in a new home which allows cats to go outside. The adoptive owners agree to give Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. the option of reclaiming the cat, should the adoption not work to the advantage of the new owner and the cat.

Adoption fees for Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. range from $100 to $225 and include such vet work as combo test, vaccinations, worming and flea control, and microchip. We spay or neuter all of our cats prior to placement and most of our kittens, depending on their size and readiness.

For more detailed information and our adoption policies, see the Adoption Info section of our web page.

More about this rescue

Founded in 2007, Austin Siamese Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on rescuing and rehoming Siamese cats and their non-Siamese companions. Our goal is to provide a safe haven for cats from various backgrounds, including shelters, abandoned, and neglectful situations, as well as those whose guardians can no longer care for them.

All of our cats are cared for in private homes by dedicated volunteers who offer their time and love to ensure each cat receives the best possible care. We are committed to finding loving, permanent homes where these cats can thrive and be cherished for the rest of their lives.

At Austin Siamese Rescue, we believe every cat deserves a second chance at happiness and a life filled with love. Through our rescue efforts and community support, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of the cats we serve and the families who welcome them into their homes.
