Celebrate Shelter Cats With a Thank You to the Houston SPCA!
Target: Houston SPCA President Patricia MercerSponsored by: ASPCA
What better way to celebrate the furry felines in our lives than to say thank you to the local animal shelters that care for these precious pets?
Please join us in sending a big, furry "thank you!" to the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), awarded the "Shelter of the Year" award by the ASPCA for 2006.
In honoring the Houston SPCA, the ASPCA praised the shelter for its cutting-edge community programs, such as a 24-hour ambulance and rescue service for injured animals, free vaccination and sterilization program for pets of the indigent and elderly, and free temporary boarding for the pets of families fleeing domestic abuse situations.
The shelter also served as a safety net for the entire region in 2005, when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast region. It opened its doors to animals evacuated from the Louisiana SPCA and served as a major traffic hub for the many pets displaced by the New Orleans floods.
So sign our virtual thank you card, upload a photo of your adopted shelter cat (or other precious pet in your life) and celebrate the important work done by the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals!

I worked for the Houston SPCA for about 6 months back in 1996. I enjoyed helping all the animals and I realized how tough it really is to keep your spirits high when you see as much as you do there. Thanks for all the hard work and big hearts!

It's incredible that you can provide all these services. I wish more shelters were able to follow in your steps. Please continue to be a role model.

Thank you for all you did for the critters of Katrina. If people generally were as helpful and selfless as you, we'd not have half the problems with unhomed animals in this world. I have 4 cats, all picked up as strays. |

I know from experience what a GREAT job the Houston SPCA does...a wonderful animal rescue worker named Sarah picked up an injured kitten we found the other day; after so many places said they only take animals from 8-5, Sarah came out at 3:30 am to help this kitten. Thank you Sarah and everyone at the Houston SPCA...you all have my gratitude beyond what words can say. *hugs*

I am a Crazy Cat Lady from Pittsburgh! I am also a Foster Mom to cats and kittens through an animal shelter here in Pittsburgh. Through my efforts all of my charges have been adopted. Right now I am fostering a Mom and kittens, and another little guy that needed the socialization from me and this family, plus my cats. I LOVE MY CATS! THEY ARE MY FAMILY. THEY ARE MY JOY!!!!
