My story

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

We LOVE the big-cheeked males! Chip was brought to AAS from a cat community, and although he’s been enjoying indoor life, we think he may be happiest living in a safe outdoor (or indoor/outdoor) environment. He needs to be provided with food and shelter, and in return he could be your 24/7 pest control.

Chip is extremely shy with new people and is a member of our Cactus Cats program. His best situation will be a place where he has at least one cat friend to hang out with. He may never be a cat who is completely at ease around humans, but he deserves a chance to live the kind of life he is most comfortable with.

Chip is great buds with Fritz, but they do not need to be adopted together.

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

The adoption fee is waived for Chip 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.
