Adopt A Cat also works toward lessening the pet overpopulation problem by spaying and neutering its rescues, educating the public of the importance of sterilizing companion animals, and by providing information on low cost spay/neuter programs in Houston.

To start, we follow a no kill policy, our cats are not kept in cages unless there is a special need for it, and we are a grassroots organization whose success and growth is a result of caring individuals working together in their communities to rescue cats.

We were interviewed and asked a series of questions about our history, experience, and familiarity with dogs. We introduced the volunteer to our well trained 2 year old brittany mix, and that helped expedite the interview process. At that point we were told we were approved to adopt a boxer, and asked if we had looked at the dogs they currently had - we hadn't picked one out at that point. My S.O. had her heart set on a female brindle, and they said they didn't currently have any but would let us know if one came up. We were looking at several different boxer rescues all over Texas, and were preparing to go see one in Austin. The night before we were going to make the trip, we got a call from LSRB that a 1 yr old female brindle was being returned by a foster, and was located about 20 minutes away. We contacted the foster, hopped in the car, and a little over an hour later we were home with our newest furry family member. That was 10 years ago - Pepper has been the perfect fit for us, and we're SO grateful to LSRB and for all the work they do for this wonderful breed. If you're considering a boxer, this is a terrific group to work with to make that happen!

I would not recommend using Spring Branch Rescue Transport for out-of-state pet adoptions,…read moreespecially if you're adopting a cat. The rescue organization I adopted through was outstanding. They communicated clearly throughout the process, helped match us with the right pet for our family before we even adopted, and worked with us to find what they believed would be the fastest transport option. Unfortunately, the transport experience itself was the exact opposite. Communication from Spring Branch Rescue Transport was poor and often confusing. Updates were primarily provided through a Facebook group chat, which required scrolling through long message histories just to piece together where the transport was and when your pet might arrive. Even the dog owners--who make up the majority of their transports--were regularly asking for updates because information was so limited. One of the biggest frustrations was the transport schedule. The screenshots showing pickup and drop-off locations didn't include dates, and the stops weren't numbered. A simple numbered route with estimated dates or even the expected order of stops would have made it much easier for adopters to understand where the transport was and when to realistically expect their pet. Instead, it felt like you had to put your life on hold while waiting for updates. For cat owners, I would strongly recommend looking for another option. Our cat spent more than four days in the transport vehicle, surrounded by numerous other animals in what was undoubtedly a stressful environment. The uncertainty around arrival times also made planning nearly impossible. I watched other adopters in the group chat rearrange important milestone life events and even drive to different states because the delivery window kept vaguely changing or remained so broad. Looking back, I would have skipped the transport altogether. Flying to the rescue, renting a car, and driving home with your pet would have given us complete control over the schedule while likely making the trip far less stressful for the animal. While I appreciate the work involved in transporting rescue animals over long distances, the communication, organization, and scheduling experience left a lot to be desired. For anyone adopting from out of state--particularly a cat--I believe there are better options.

Our shelters are at MAX capacity, and Houston has the unfortunate reputation for euthanizing more animals than any other major metro. So, I saw a facebook post of a dog, "Honey Chipotle" who was on the euthanasia list. I reached out to schedule a meet and greet appointment and was able to pick her up after her owners failed to claim her (she was chipped). They provided a few weeks worth of food, a toy, leash and collar. They offered more things but we have plenty of stuff here at home. I'm also looped in with their foster organizations and will be able to take her to adoption events. I also send them photos so they can promote her. I was also told they have vet access here, so if I need to bring her in, I can make an appointment.
