My story

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

Meet Gemma! This little tripod is the bravest girl on Galveston Island! Last November, Gemma was brought to GIHS after being attacked by a coyote. She had deep puncture wounds, a paralyzed leg, and significant damage to her rectum. She required dedicated care and several surgeries to fix her injuries, including a full leg amputation!

Despite her suffering, Gemma remains the sweetest, spunkiest of kitties. She has made a full recovery in her foster home, where her personality has blossomed. Gemma absolutely loves batting around small mice or spring toys. Having three legs hasn't slowed her down at all, as demonstrated by her full-speed zoomies and play-time with her foster siblings. She is adorably demanding when it comes time for dinner, but she shows her thanks afterwards with snuggles and kitty biscuits. In short, Gemma is an absolute delight and would make a great companion for any family.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to provide the programs and services needed to eliminate the killing of at-risk animals due to lack of space, adopter or foster.

San Antonio Pets Alive! is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Due to alarming euthanasia rates, San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) was founded in 2012. SAPA! is unique—it is the only high paced, high-volume rescue in San Antonio, saving 6,000 at-risk cats and dogs annually.

Since its inception, SAPA! has saved more than 47,000 dogs and cats. SAPA! provides safety nets for the dogs and cats that fall through the cracks of all other lifesaving options and end up on the euthanasia lists, often with just hours to be saved. SAPA! promotes the availability of these dogs and cats to other rescues, adopters and fosters.

questions.

If you are interested in fostering an animal, please visit our website and fill out our online Foster Application. The more foster homes we have the more animals we can pull off the euthanasia list and the more lives we can save together!
