My story

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

Becky is an extremely sweet older lady who wants nothing more than to eat, sleep, and sit in a lap. She has no teeth, and absolutely loves wet food. She will eat dry food occasionally.

Becky is a former community cat who was brought to AAS because she was very sick. Turns out she has hyperthyroidism (a common disease in older cats). She has been thoroughly tested, and is now on a low dose of methimazole to keep her thyroid regulated. Becky will be on this medication for the rest of her life, and it costs less than $5 a month (she’s super easy to medicate).

Becky is fine with other cats, but wouldn't mind being the only pet in a quiet home.

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.
