My story

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

Marisela is ALWAYS in someone’s lap, so it can be tough to get good photos of her! She is a beautiful, petite older lady and former street cat. She has given up that life so she can spend all her time ‘lapping’.

Marisela is still getting used to living inside, and can be a bit shy until she gets used to her surroundings. Once she’s comfortable, her bossy side comes out. She will use her scratchy meow and big eyes to herd you to the nearest comfortable spot where you must sit down and provide a lap for her to snuggle into.

If it’s late and you’re still awake, Marisela will tell you it’s time to sleep, then wait patiently for you on the bed. She’s also on the thin side, and needs lots of love and a quiet house to feel comfortable enough to eat freely.

If you’re ready for an ultra-lap kitty, Marisela is your girl!

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

The adoption fee is waived for Marisela and ALL 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.
