Foster Parents Needed!
Currently we have several cats who were traumatized or in ill health when rescued. They are under our veterinarian's care, but could use some full-time TLC. If you could keep one or more kitties for a period to one to three weeks, please e-mail us or call 214-356-9126. We will supply you with food, litter box/litter, and a large cage if needed.
Sorry, We're Full
Due to monetary constraints and slow adoption numbers, we are unable to accept any new cats/kittens at this time. Please contact one or more of the other DFW-area groups listed here at Petfinder by clicking on the "Shelter and Rescue Groups" link at the top of Petfinder's home page (you can search by zip code).If you are able to keep your cat or kitten while we help you look for a new owner, e-mail us at hairball AT texaspawprints DOT org.
Who We Are
We are a small, informal 501(3)(c) non-profit rescue group. We specialize in rescuing cats and kittens deemed unacceptable by animal control facilities and other groups. These animals may simply be the wrong color - for example, black cats often take longer to rehome - or they may have special needs. They may be FIV positive, have a chronic medical condition or physical scars acquired before rescue, or recovering from an abusive past.
We welcome new volunteers in any capacity, and promise to be really nice to you and to buy you a Starbucks as often as possible.
Adopting a Lifetime Friend
Our adoption fee is $95. Before being offered for adoption, each cat or kitten will receive at least one set of vaccinations, a blood test for FIV and Feline Leukemia, plus treatment for fleas and worms if needed. Adult cats will be spayed/neutered when offered for adoption, while kittens' spay/neuter operations are covered by the $95 fee. We will arrange for you to take your kitten to one of our partner veterinarians when old enough to be spayed/neutered.
Adopt-a-Pets
Coming Up: Saturday Adoptions 11:00 to 3:00 May 24th!
Come see us on Sundays 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. at Petsmart Old Town @ 5500 Greenville Ave, near Lovers Lane and just north of Central Market (store tel: 469-232-2030). We are also adding the occasional Saturday adoption event - please call 469-232-2030 to confirm.
If you're considering adopting a cat or kitten you've seen in our Petfinder listings, let us know and we'll make sure to bring them to Petsmart for a personal introduction.
Our shelter (located near the Knox/Henderson exit off Hwy 75) is open Mondays-Saturdays by appointment only as most of our volunteers work full-time. However, we are happy to accommodate you, and can even arrange to bring one or more cats to your own home. Please call ahead at 214-912-2573 to make sure we can meet you.
Our e-mail at info AT texaspawprints DOT org is checked daily.
