Austin Pets Alive!

It's so easy to anthropomorphize our domesticated mammalian significant others. But Austin Pets Alive! knows what animals need, and has developed a range of programs to meed those needs. Of course, APA! is the nonprof responsible for making Austin a no-kill community, and deserves unending kudos for this alone. But other programs intrigue: Their barn cat program, which takes poorly/undersocialized cats and places them in alternative homes – big, outdoor spaces and barns – is just one example of the many ways APA! puts pets' needs first.
