Gimme a Break & a New Beginning

Flexible Schedule | League City, TX 77573

Gimme a Break & New Beginning Take me home and let me tell you what I like and dislike. In two weeks I'll tell you oodles about me. The more you learn what I like and dislike, the more you are able to tell the Feline Friends at the shelter. Potential adopters come in and ask lots of questions about the cats. If the cat has never been fostered in a real home, the Feline Friends can't answer the potential adopters. See how that works? If you want to help me match to the best home, let's get started. This is a HUGE opportunity for me to find the BEST home. Gimme a break from the shelter and bunk on your bed for a couple of weeks. Tell the Feline Friends everything you learn, and viola I have a perfect forever home thanks to you. Then you choose another cat and do the same. At nine lives per cat imagine how many lives you will be saving. MEOW

Foster for Kittens/Cats (Temp)

Flexible Schedule | League City / Houston / Clear Lake City, TX 77058

Become a temporary foster for one of our adoptable cats/kittens from time to time when your schedule allows. We have kittens/cats residing seven days a week in special habitats at six pet supply stores like PetSmart, PETCO, and Pet Supplies Plus. The are available to adopt seven days a week which is why we adopt close to 300 cats per year. Space Foster: We will have cats ready to go to a condo but nothing empty at the time so we need a foster to care for the cat/kitten until we have an adoption and a condo becomes available. Quarantine Foster: When we take in a cat/kitten we do a Health Intake exam, treat any issue we find like fleas, diarrhea, or goopy eyes. We vaccinate, treat with flea prevention and intestinal and quarantine the kitten for at least a week before moving it to a condo in one of the pet supply stores to show for adoption. Going to a new home is stressful enough for the cat so we want to be sure the cat is healthy before going to their new home. Medical Foster: Stress can cause a cat a cat to develop conjunctivitis (pink eye), upper respiratory infection, or diarrhea. When that occurs we want to remove the cat from the condo and place it in foster care where it can be medicated for a week to ten days. These conditions can be contagious to the other cats in the condo and it turns off an adopter's interest. We train if necessary and provide the supplies you need, all you add is love.

Cat/Kitten Adoptions at Pet Supply Stores in League City, Clear Lake City, and Kemah

Flexible Schedule | League City, TX 77573

LCPA adopts around 300 cats/kittens per year saving them from a life on the street or possible euthanasia In animal shelters. We have adoptable cats and kittens residing seven days a week in cat habitats at SIX pet supply stores. Three in League City, Two in Clear Lake City, and 1 in Kemah . PETCO, PetSmart, and Pet Supplies Plus. The adoptable cats and kittens are showing and being adopted seven days a week. This agreement with the stores requires we keep the habitats clean and take care of the cat's other needs. Volunteers feed, scoop, give the cats enrichment by socializing and playing for how ever long you want to stay. A typical shift is one hour and the times are flexible. We have many parents working with their children to teach them responsibility, and spending time together. While in the store you will answer questions from the store customers about the cats in the habitat, who we are, what you do and invite them to volunteer with us. You will be trained so you can explain the adoption process and direct them to our website to complete an application or view our other adoptable cats. You can advance to doing "meet & greets" with the potential adopters, train other volunteers as they join. Train to become an adoption counselor, able to approve and process adoption paperwork. Ultimately you could become a co mentor for a store. Don't worry, you move at your own pace. If you decide volunteering in the stores isn't for you, you can become a Feline Friend at the Shelter. You could be a temporary foster for our cats or the animal shelter. You can do as much or as little as your schedule allows. Saving lives is what we do and you can too.

Organization Information

Mission Statement

Friends of League City Animal Shelter aka League City Pets Alive is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Our purpose is to stop the senseless killing of companion animals and maintain the "NO KILL" status of League City. We acquire donations or raise funds for the purchase of services and supplies not covered by the City budget. Funds are used for mostly for veterinary care, medical supplies, puppy and kitten food, and related animal supplies.

Description

In 2013 we set a goal to become NO KILL. The community achieved that goal completely in 2017. A shelter is considered "no kill" at 90% live release rate. We didn't stop there. The volunteers and staff work tirelessly to maintain over 95% live release. Committing to be "no kill" means providing treatment for animals that most shelters would kill rather than spend funds to treat. Our community has a generous giving spirit and we are blessed with donations that allow many animals to be saved. We have cats available for adoption seven days a week at SIX area pet supply stores. The Kitty Condo Krewe increased the live release of cats significantly. The Cat Condo program requires 70 volunteer shifts per week.

"We are delighted to have moved into our new shelter in 2020. The new shelter gives us more space for animals and the ability to engage the community at the shelter and develop more life saving programs.

Come join us in saving lives.
