Story
Kanga is a gorgeous, friendly cat who will fill your life with laughs & love. She was found living on the streets of South Texas with her single kitten. Now that her baby is grown up and her mothering days are behind her, Kanga’s hilarious and sweet personality is really shining. She’s getting to be the playful cat that she never got to be on the streets. This sweet girl is always purring, even at the vet’s office. Kanga currently lives in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and she does great with both. She will fit into just about any type of home. She’s perfect! She loves to play with toys (including her emotional support Nordstrom Rack paper bag). But her absolute favorite place is the dog’s fuzzy donut bed. When she's peacefully snoozing away, you can see her cute little tongue peeking out. Kanga is around 1 year old and 6.5 lbs. She is spayed, FELV/FIV negative, and up to date on prevention and vaccines. She’s ready to join your family today!

Meet Penny!Penny is timid at first, and needs time warming up to her human - but once she does, she’s very affectionate with them. She loves to throw her body on them at bed time and snuggle in their armpit. She gets along with cats and dogs more easily than humans. Her best pal is Tom and he helps bring out her adventurous side.

Story
My pet is the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. She was so playful, funny, loving and so sweet. My cat was tested for FeLV and came out positive back in May of 2025. Unfortunately, the last 2 weeks she has not been herself. She has not been eating and is very lethargic. I took her to the vet and unfortunately I cannot keep up with her medical expenses. I would love to find her a loving home who is able to give her the best life possible.

Story
Found him on the street early September 2025 and the people in the house nearby didnt know who he belongs to so I assumed that hes a stray and picked him up. Hes always been skittish and doesnt let us touch him, he would allow the tiniest of touches but then he would run away. Hes around 7 months old (as of January 2026). He is very playful and one of the cats taught him to talk to himself. He is using the litter box of course. Lately hes been getting on the kitchen counters and in my roommates plants and I cant get him to stop. We have other cats that we taught to behave, and with him being skittish and scared or us I cant teach him without getting him even more scared. We keep returning to a messy kitchen and we cant have this all the time with work and school. Looking for someone who has time to get him out of his skittish behavior. Also we would have to move by July 2026 (across state lines) and with him being scared we cant have him in the car like that.

This is Leo and he is 5 years old. He is the sweetest boy and will talk to you when you say his name. He gets along well with other cats and is strictly an indoor cat. He is affectionate and loves to play with the string toys. He is a cuddle bug at times and will want to be all over you, but sometimes likes to do his own thing. He’s a very gentle and chill cat.

Story
Emma was found at my parent's house in Leander after a big thunderstorm. She has a ton of energy and is friendly to everyone once she gets to know you. She gets along with cats well, but that is because my current cat has been helping her with play-fighting etiquette. She is adventurous, fearless, and always has a big appetite. She also does enjoy some TLC time with a movie.

Meeeow darlings, I’m Harmony — a gorgeous little lady with big curious eyes and a heart ready for a fresh start. I’ve had a bit of a bumpy journey, but I’m pawsitive my best chapter is still ahead with a loving hooman family.

Back touches? I’ll pass on those, thank mew. I’m looking for a kind, patient home to help with my medical needs and shower me with the comfort and love I deserve — and in return, I’ll be your sweet, loyal companion, sharing plenty of soft purrs and happy meows. Could that be with you?~~~~~The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is open every day from noon to 6pm (excluding limited holidays/events).

(Central Texas Adoption Only) Meet Batgirl, a gentle and resilient kitty with a heart as soft as her fur! This sweet girl was rescued from the streets, where she struggled to survive as a starving stray. Despite her tough beginnings, Batgirl has blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion who's ready to find her forever home. Her fur is an elegant mix of white, with delicate patches of gray and black tabby markings-reminiscent of a sesame dumpling, which inspired her adorable nickname. Her coat is exceptionally soft, making cuddle sessions all the more special. Batgirl may need a little time to adjust to her new surroundings, but once she settles in, she will be deeply dedicated to her person. She has a gentle spirit and just needs a little patience as she transitions into her new home. When she's comfortable, she'll be your loyal companion, following you around with love in her eyes. If you're looking for a kitty who's as sweet as she is beautiful and who's ready for a second chance at life, Batgirl is your perfect match.

I’m a quiet guy. That means you better come find me because I’m probably into something. There’s so much to explore! I like to sleep beside you and watch you work, though I’m told I can’t sit right in front of the monitor. My sister and I would love to explore every inch of your house. Can we? ##1968371##
