My story

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

The adoption fee is waived for Angus and ALL Desperate Housecats!

Sweet Angus arrived at AAC, both jaundiced and anemic. It is not clear whether these were caused by infectious agents or autoimmune disease. He responded quickly to treatment for both issues.

Angus moved into a foster home for supportive care, and made a complete recovery. It is unlikely that he will have any related problems in the future, but it is something for adopters to be aware of.

Angus is understandably a bit `hand shy`, as he was treated for a long time. He does like to be petted, and will even accept belly rubs once he is comfortable with his environment and his humans. He will need time and patience to acclimate to a new home and to new people. He is great with other cats.

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

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 & kittens up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
$30 small animals
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.
