Thelma and Louise were initially found in a Target parking lot along with two litter mates. They were only 3 weeks old, and there was no sign of the mother. They were rescued by a lady who bottle fed them and socialized them, she then asked Cats' Angels to placed them in our adoption program. Thelma and Louise were adopted, but due to economic hardship, their family can no longer keep them and they need a new home.
Thelma and Louise are now 2 years old. Their coat has golden spots sprinkled all over its shiny black fur, which makes them look very distinguished. They require to be adopted together because they love each other so much. They are reserved with new people, so a first visit will not reveal their outgoing personality, but they are in fact very active and playful - they wrestle and chase each other around all day, and they love the dogs in their foster home. They also get along well with other cats. Thelma and Louise have tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, they have been spayed and vaccinated, and they have a microchip. For adoption information, please contact Kerry at 771-4603 or e-mail cats_angels@sbcglobal.net for an application form.
Woflie the partially blind kitten
I received a message one day from a person who devotes herself to spay/neuter cats and find barn homes for kittens in Mason County, an area that is mostly farm land. Wolfie is a special needs kitten, she said, he is totally blind in one eye and his vision is poor in the other eye. His mother was killed by farm machinery, and he cannot be placed in a barn like his litter mates because he will be unable to survive. At 10 weeks old, he was half the size of his litter mates, but he was a very spirited little kitten.
I accepted to take Wolfie and place him in Cat's Angels adoption program. I took him to the eye specialist. His right eye was undeveloped at birth, it would have to be removed. He had cataract in his left eye. Dr. Shiffrin explained that over time, the cataract might shrink, enough for Wolfie to be able to see around it, but the key factor was that he needed to see movements through this eye sufficiently so the nerve connection from the eye to the brain could be made, otherwise he would never see. The next couple of months would be a critical period for that connection to be made. If he could see some movement and there was enough stimulation of the nerve, then there was a possibility that his vision would improve as he grew.
I could not really tell if he could see much at all,but one day, I walked into his room and he was looking up: there was a bug fluttering around the light bulb, I got very excited. Two months passed, we went back to see Dr. Shiffrin, and the news was good. Wolfie's vision had improved, the cataract was only covering the center of his eye and he could see around it. According to the doctor, he would continue to improve.
Wolfie is now 14 months old. He had surgery to remove his bad eye, and his vision has greatly improved in his left eye. So much so that he now chases bugs and catches them in the air. Wolfie is a very happy cat, he is full of life and cuddly and truly enjoys life. He is waiting for his forever home.
A Christmas Miracle 2010
The Monday after Christmas, Karen S. was driving North on IH 35 to her office in Round Rock just before 8 a.m. when something caught her attention: huddled against the concrete wall that separates the South bound from the North bound lanes, there was a small black and white cat. There was no place for Karen to stop in the morning traffic, as the space between the lane and the concrete wall was no more than one foot, so as soon as Karen exited the interstate highway, she called 311. She was told rudely that no one was going to go get a cat on IH35. She then tried to reach Animal Control in Round Rock and was transferred numerous times, without any success. Meanwhile, Frank and Jean A., driving North at 65 mph on IH35, saw something they thought looked like a cat in the median against the concrete wall. Frank looked in the rear view mirror and saw two black ears. Let’s turn around, he said to his wife Jean. They did, and as they drove by the cat a second time, she looked up and Frank saw her eyes. She is alive, he said to Jean. They decided to exit the highway and look for a police car that could stop the traffic and allow them to pick up the cat. They did not find a police car, but a fire truck was stationed nearby, and they found a receptive ear in the fire crew. Soon the firemen were on their way to rescue the hapless cat, which they delivered to Frank and Jean who proceeded to take her to the nearest emergency clinic. The diagnosis was a fracture of the pelvis. The cat was also found to have a microchip registered to Cats’ Angels.
That same morning I received a call from the Georgetown Animal Shelter where the cat was taken. The shelter was closed until Tuesday, but I was assured that the cat was under pain medication and seemed calm. On Tuesday morning, Cats’ Angels member Mary Ellen picked up the cat as soon as the shelter opened and took to it to Dr. Anderson at the Anderson Mill Animal Clinic where she underwent X-rays, a full examination, and pain medication. The X-rays did not reveal any bone fracture, but the area at the base of the tail had severe trauma and the cat could not move her tail. She stayed at the clinic under observation for a day. Mary Ellen checked our computer files to find out which cat corresponded to the microchip number. She called me with the name of the cat: Miss Tippy.
Miss Tippy was a cat that a friend of mine, Lin, who lives in Spicewood, brought to me in June 2010 with her two kittens. Lin asked me to find a home for the kittens and get the mom cat spayed before returning her to her family in Spicewood. Miss Tippy’s family kept her as an outside cat and fed her, but would not spend any money at the vet for her. I made sure Miss Tippy was spayed and fully vaccinated, and I also had a microchip placed in her - the microchip that saved her life.
The question was: how did Miss Tippy get from Spicewood to IH 35 in Round Rock, one and a half hour away? Her family told Lin that they had last seen her on Christmas day and had no idea how she could have gotten there. There were two possible explanations: Tippy may have jumped in a pick-up truck in her neighborhood, and the unknowing driver could have been driving his truck in that area when she decided to jump out of the truck. The other possible explanation is that there is a mean person in her neighborhood that wanted to harm this cat. It’s hard to imagine that such heartless people exist, but they do. We will never know.
Meanwhile, the stars were aligned for Miss Tippy after her heroic rescue, and I received a call from Karen, the first person to spot her on the highway. Karen had been very concerned about the cat, and upon learning that she was registered to a cat rescue organization, she called me offering to adopt her. I had decided that Miss Tippy could not return to her neighborhood to be an outside cat again – it was too dangerous. So I welcomed Karen’s request and asked her to work with me in transitioning Tippy to become an inside only cat. Karen agreed, and she is currently fostering her. Miss Tippy needs follow-up care but she is well on her way to recovery, and she has a wonderful home.
The moral of the story is that, although there are mean people intent on hurting animals, there are also cats angels everywhere who will go out of their way to rescue an injured animal. I can’t thank Karen, Frank and Jean, and the Round Rock fire crew enough for their selfless actions to save Tippy's life. It is a Christmas miracle.
Update on Miss Tippy: the damage on her spine at the base of the tail is such that she will not regain feeling in her tail and we are making arrangement for an amputation. Miss Tippy will look different without her tail -- and the white tip at the end of her tail that is responsible for her name -- but it will not affect her quality of life. She is in every other ways making a wonderful recovery.
The price of a "free" cat
June Bug was a beautiful 2-year old long hair orange and white female Tabby. She was a resident at the Humane Society during the summer 2010 along with cages and cages of surrendered cats and kittens waiting for their luck to turn. Under the pressure of so many cats coming in daily, the Austin Humane Society and the Town Lake Animal Shelter widedy advertized a "free adoption" week-end and people were waiting in line to choose their new cat. On that day, June Bug went home with her new adopter.
A few months later, June Bug became a rear leg amputee after she was found hanging upside down, her right leg caught in a privacy fence. We don't know how many days she had been hanging there, but we know that her owner did not bother looking for her when she went missing. A neighbor found her and rescued her, but her leg could not be saved. Cats' Angels was approached by the compassionate lady who found her, and we became involved in her rescue. At first, she recovered wonderfully from her surgery and coud run and play. She could not jump because her rear left knee cap tended to go out most of the time, she needed more surgery to correct that. We could tell that she still had some pain at times, but in spite of her trauma, June Bug turned out to be a kitty in love with life. She was quite social, enjoyed playing with her toys by herself and with people, and she was able to climb the elaborate stairs assembled for her to watch the birds and the squirrels in the yard from a window. She seemed happy to be alive. The time came when we thought June Bug needed a forever home where she would continue to get the attention, care and affection she needed. However, her rear left leg continued to worsen, and she was under increasing pain. A visit to the specialist did not give us much hope for a pain-free, quality life for our beautiful June Bug, and we had to make the difficult decision to set her free of her hurt little body. June Bug was a very brave kitty, she was remarkable in many ways, we love her and like to think that God adopted her. She will brighten the heavens for the angels as she brightened our lives when she was with us.
June Bug's owner was informed of what had happened when she was found, but declined to be involved in any way. In fact, the day June Bug went missing, her owner decided to go back to the Humane Society, this time to adopt a "free" dog, which she was able to do. Cats' Angels is strongly opposed to giving away a cat or dog for free, we believe that for most people, a "free" cat or dog has no value and many owners of such animal will not understand the responsibility that comes with a pet adoption.
A prayer for Mimi
Alex is 19 years old and goes to Baldwin Beauty School to become a hairstylist. Her dad is a single parent and she helps take care of her younger brother and sister. Alex and her family took in Mimi who was a pregnant stray, and Mimi gave birth to 6 kittens at their home on July 15, 2010 after they took her in, then became very sick.
Mimi had a condition known as pyometra, an infection of the uterus that is very painful and life threatening at an advanced stage. She had to be re-hydrated and put on antibiotics before surgery could be performed and was hospitalized over the week-end. On Monday, July 19, she was stable enough so the surgery could be done. She did well and recovered quite nicely. However, Mimi had no milk and all the kittens would have died if Alex had not been there to bottle feed them.
While Mimi was recovering from her surgery, one of her kittens died and soon another one stopped eating and looked like he was not going to make it. As soon as Mimi was well enough, she was re-united with the kittens, and miraculously, the weak little guy recovered. Although Mimi could not nurse her kittens, she acted as a good mom in every other way, cleaning them up and keeping them warm and comforted. Even in the world of cats, there is no cure like mom's love for her babies! all 5 kittens are thriving now, and all have been adopted.
Happy Tails: Callie, a cat with a soul and lots of character!
Plucked from the streets of San Marcos, starving and flea-bitten, Callie was rescued and taken home by a kind lady and quickly blossomed into a sweet, loving cat. Callie is a short hair black kitty with yellow-green eyes, one crumpled ear, and lots of character!. She is approx 1 to 2 years old. She is a special needs cat because she is completely deaf. In spite of her ragged looks and her handicap, Callie's rescue person recognized that she was a very special kitty with lots of endurance and inner beauty. Callie needed a quiet and safe, indoor home where she could get lots of love. She found it! Callie is now living a comfortable life in Dripping Springs with the very nice lady who adopted her. She is now one of our happy tails!
Who We Are
Cats' Angels, Inc. is a group of several Austin area foster homes. We do not have a facility to keep the cats and we have very limited space and therefore limited ability to accept cats from the public. We foster out of our homes, and care for and find homes for abandoned or neglected cats. Most kittens and cats come to us under-nourished, they are often sick, injured or orphaned. We restore them to good health and place them in our adoption program.
Cats’ Angels volunteers also trap/neuter/release feral or stray cats in order to reduce overpopulation and decrease euthanasia at municipal shelters. It is the also the purpose of our organization to increase public awareness of the pet overpopulation crisis and encourage early spaying and neutering.
From our President
Dear readers: My name is Danielle and I am the founder and president of Cats' Angels, Inc. Our volunteers work very hard to get abandonned cats and kittens off the street and place them in permanent homes. With a slowing economy, it has been even more of a challenge. But we have not allowed it to slow us down. We have continued to spay and neuter numerous stray cats and found homes for many stray kittens. Our desire to help is great but our ability is limited as we do not have a shelter. We rely on donations from the public to fund veterinary care for the many injured and sick cats and kittens that are brought to us, and on foster homes to keep cats and kittens until they get adopted. Unfortunately, our limited resources allow us to address only a small portion of the need that exists out there, and we are often forced to turn away cats in need of help. The help we receive from the public is crucial to our organization, we would not exist without it. So please consider a small donation to Cats' Angels, and come by Petco to meet our beautiful cats and kittens, whether you are thinking of adopting or just want to visit with the cats. And tell your friends about us. I wish all of you a wonderful time with your furry friends.
The Adoption Process
All of our adoptable cats are healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered (if old enough), micro-chipped, and litter box trained.
Cats' Angels has an adoption application that we can e-mail upon request. Contact cats_angels @sbcglobal.net. We deliver the cat to you so that we can see the home environment and ensure the best match between the cat and the family. We are often able to make suggestions about how to acclimate the kitty to his new environment. All of our adoptions are on a trial basis for one month or until both the adopter and foster parent are satisfied with the placement. We refund the adoption fee for up to one month. We require the return of all adopted cats if adopter’s situation changes and the cat must be re-homed. Our guarantee to adopters is that we will either take back our foster kitties or help you find a good home for it. We require the promise from the adopter to NEVER surrender the cat to a shelter.
Special Needs Cats
Consider adopting a special needs cat (Pictured: Pumpkin). Some people want to help those animals that are the most in need of love and care. If you are one of them, consider our special needs kitties. Those include cats and kittens, often former feral kittens, that are shy with new people, and cats that have a terminal disease like feline leukemia or Feline Aid (FIV). Skittish cats require a little patience at first, but can be very affectionate, and can strongly bond to their owner, even more so than well-socialized cats. Feline Leukemia and FIV positive cats have tested positive for the virus, but it may take years for the signs of the disease to show, and meanwhile, they can live a perfectly normal and happy life. In the case of FIV, many cats never succumb to the disease and can live well into their teens, like any other cat that is kept 100% indoors.
If you have found an abandonned or sick cat
If you have found a cat that needs help, or you can no longer take care of your own cat, and if you can foster for a period of time until the cat gets adopted, we can help. We will ask you to get the cat tested for feline leukemia and FIV first, and we will take care of spay/neuter surgery, vaccination, and other basic care. We will sign you up as a foster volunteer, you will commit to take the cat to our adoption site at Petco every Sunday until the cat gets adopted. Contact us at cats_angels@sbcglobal.net for more details. With your active participation, we can do a lot to help cats in need.
How to Donate
We are a 503(c)(3) charitable organization and your donations to Cats' Angels are tax deductible. We accept PayPal (see the Donate button at the bottom left of this page). You can also mail donations to Cats’ Angels, PO Box 12684, Austin, TX 78711-2684. For any questions, please email cats_angels@sbcglobal.net.
Most wanted on our wish list:
• Cat food (Purina cat chow, Wellness or Blue Buffalo, canned and dry)
• Clumping unscented cat litter
• Gently used or new cat beds
• Cat carriers
• cat crates or cages (for showing the cats at adoption)
• Cat toys
Fostering & Volunteering
Foster homes are always urgently needed, especially in the spring and summer months when kittens are born. Having enough foster homes literally makes the difference between life and death for many kittens. If you foster one of our cats, Cats’ Angels pays all vet expenses. You provide the food, and the love! (Any supplies and food you pay for is tax-deductible and we will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.) When you foster a cat or kitten, you commit to bringing him/her to our weekend adoption events and continue to foster until permanent homes are found, or you return them to us when you can no longer foster them.
Volunteers are also needed to socialize and play with shy kittens and cats, to help them overcome their fears and make them more adoptable.
If you are interested in fostering a cat or kittens or volunteering with Cats Angels, please contact us at cats_angels@sbcglobal.net.

Consider adopting a special needs cat (Pictured: Pumpkin). Some people want to help those animals that are the most in need of love and care. If you are one of them, consider our special needs kitties. Those include cats and kittens, often former feral kittens, that are shy with new people, and cats that have a terminal disease like feline leukemia or Feline Aid (FIV). Skittish cats require a little patience at first, but can be very affectionate, and can strongly bond to their owner, even more so than well-socialized cats. Feline Leukemia and FIV positive cats have tested positive for the virus, but it may take years for the signs of the disease to show, and meanwhile, they can live a perfectly normal and happy life. In the case of FIV, many cats never succumb to the disease and can live well into their teens, like any other cat that is kept 100% indoors.
