    Austin Pets Alive! | Thanks to You, Tomato Paste Gets to be the King…

    Who would’ve guessed big boy Tomato Paste, who started losing his
    appetite at the shelter due to stress, would soon spend every day
    getting cuddles and wearing fun costumes in his new home? (Well, maybe
    we could’ve guessed!). Now affectionately nicknamed Tommy, this
    incontinent kitty is getting the peace, love, and routine he craves from
    his new family thanks to support from friends like you.

    Tommy
    came to APA! with an old tail injury that made it hard for him to
    control where and when he had to go potty. He needs his bladder gently
    squeezed a couple times a day to empty it, and it took a lot of time and
    treats for this gentleman to accept that he needs some extra help.

    Because of you, we were able to give Tommy the medications he requires to stay comfortable while getting his bladder expressed and support his dedicated foster as she cared for an incontinent kitty for the first time. At another shelter, Tommy might have faced needless euthanasia because of extra care that only takes a few minutes out of the day and that anyone can learn how to do with practice and patience.

    When we say Katie was a dedicated foster, we mean it! She
    brought Tommy into our clinic almost every day for the first couple
    weeks to get help expressing his bladder. That’s determination! Katie
    wanted to give this handsome kitty a lap to curl up in at night, which
    meant lots of practice and teamwork to find the routine he needed.
    Ultimately, she couldn’t let this lovebug go and soon Tommy became our
    14th incontinent cat adopted in 2022! Katie says “We were
    definitely a bit intimidated by the prospect of adopting an incontinent
    cat, but after getting a good routine down with him it’s totally
    manageable.”

    Now that
    she and Tommy are on the same page, Katie has a friend to greet her
    when she comes home from work and Tommy finally has the loving family he
    deserves. “I’m really glad we took a chance on him, he’s the sweetest and most charismatic boy!”

    We’re
    so excited to say “Happy tails” to this distinguished kitty and we’re
    so grateful to YOU for making stories like this possible this holiday
    season and every day.

    With gratitude,

    The APA! Team

    There is a lot that can be said for this time of year!

    The holiday season is a time filled with love and joy, friends and family, busy calendars full of festive get-togethers, and cozy evenings at home wrapped in blankets. And at Austin Pets Alive! this is the busiest time of the year for our fundraising which is why we’re so grateful for Subaru’s Share The Love event!

    This holiday season marks Subaru’s 14th Share the Love event and since 2015 Austin Subaru has selected APA! as their hometown charity, raising more than $300,000 over the years to support our lifesaving mission!

    Share the Love takes place from November 18 – January 3rd. Hometown charities receive $250 for any new or leased vehicle sold during this time! And Austin Subaru adds some additional donations as well, such as donating $5 for every vehicle serviced during the Share the Love period!

    This fundraiser goes a long way for our organization. To name just a few things that we can accomplish with Austin Subaru’s Share the Love support:

    • $1,000 — Purchases a new IV pump to keep puppies hydrated and alive as they fight Parvovirus.

    • $500 — Supports maintenance and repair of current IV pumps.

    • $225 — Provides immune-boosting IV Vitamin C for three puppies.

    • $100 — Provides intake vaccinations, dewormers, and spay/neuter for one puppy.

    Each year, APA! brings more animals into our care, who otherwise, wouldn’t have had a chance at life. The support we receive from community partners like Austin Subaru makes all the difference to help the animals most at risk.

    Pets like Legacy can find their loving homes because of community partner fundraising like Austin Subaru’s Share the Love event! Legacy who was actually named for Austin Subaru came into our care in early 2021. He’s worked with our behavior team to learn skills that will help him find a home that fits his personality and that can offer him the continued support he needs.

    Join us in thanking our long-time and loyal supporters, Austin Subaru, for their hard work, generosity, and dedication to serving our community well!
