Our cat habitats inside Petco and PetSmart stores throughout San Antonio provide great visibility for our cats to be seen by potential adopters. These cat habitats are made possible by volunteers that clean and care for these cats. We have an immediate need for cat habitat volunteers at the below locations:

Sandra was alarmed to see one of her colony cats that had visited for about three years not looking very well. The cat had drastically lost weight, but one particular night when Sandra went to feed the colony, this cat had an abnormal gait and was laying on the ground, not eating or drinking. The cat was so ill, Sandra was able to easily catch her, something she would normally not be able to do if the cat was feeling well. Sandra contacted SAFCC and we approved her

In April we shared Noodle's story about how he came to SAFCC's foster program. Noodle and his sibling Dumpling were taken in as a cruelty case as both cats had what appeared to be acid burns on their face. Dumpling's injuries were so severe he did not survive, but Noodle persevered and even flourished in foster care, becoming a nice and healthy cat.

This month, we are happy to report that Noodle has been adopted! He is a spoiled kitty living the life. He is a friendly boy and gives no indication of his traumatic past. Thanks to our Community Cat Adoption Program and our Cat Crisis Fund, we were able to take in and help Noodle. Only happiness from now on for Noodle! Thank you to all who donate to our Cat Crisis Fund which provides care to sick or injured stray cats. You make stories like Noodle's possible.

The City of San Antonio is preparing for its 2022 budget and has created this survey to see what city services or programs are most important to San Antonio residents.

Please consider taking this quick survey and letting them know how important funding to Animal Care Services is! What would we do without the free spay/neuter provided by their Community Cat Program? Click HERE to get started.

This year SAFCC has had a record number of calls and intakes to help homeless cats and kittens! Our Community Cat Adoption Program has approximately 540 fosters, which means a significant increase in veterinary and emergency care expenses. To control medical costs, we have had to close intake and are unable to save any more kittens until we adopt out the ones currently in our care.

So far this year we have spent $24,000 treating illnesses and injuries (not including spay/neuter costs) compared to this time last year when we had spent $10,000. We desperately need your help to continue caring for these precious babies! The kitten pictured here is one of nine rescued from a hoarding situation. All had severe upper respiratory infections, but with great veterinary care and a lot of love from their SAFCC

This two-year-old male grey/white tabby is Hamlet. He was living in a home when his mom moved out of state and left him behind. Hamlet couldn't stay there since no one was there to feed and care for him. Fortunately, a SAFCC foster was able to take in Hamlet, but he is still in search of his forever home.

Hamlet is a quiet, very sweet and loving guy who likes to sit or lay around just vegging out. He is no bother to anyone except when he wants rubs and to snuggle. He is just a big sweet guy. Hamlet is social with other cats but also likes his own space. He is very mellow and does not pick fights. Hamlet is FIV+ which is not easily transmitted between cats. Therefore, other than ensuring that there is no fighting and biting, most cats with FIV can live happily with one or two other cats and never spread their virus. If you are interested in Hamlet please email us at adoptions@sanantonioferalcats.org.
