Tuxedo Junction Rescue - Main Page, Cats and kittens for adoption in Austin, TX

Tuxedo Junction Rescue is a no-kill rescue
organization dedicated to providing tender care
and permanent placement into loving homes
for cats at risk for shelter euthanasia in Austin, Texas.

We primarily rescue black and white ("tuxedo")
and black cats because of their historic difficulty
in being placed through shelters.

However, this focus does not preclude
rescue of other cats in need.

Why do rescue groups exist?

It is a sad fact that many cities, including Austin,
have considered killing shelter animals the “solution” to animal overpopulation.
Thousands of healthy and treatable animals are killed at the Town Lake Animal Center,
as well as other area municipal shelters, every year.

We got a loving home together.

Of course, the kinder solution is taking steps to increase adoptions,
educate the public at large, and making free or low-cost spay/neuter services available
to anyone needing this service for their companion animals.

Thanks to animal advocates in the Austin community,
the city is finally exploring the option of
implementing solutions that would decrease
the killing at the Town Lake Animal Center.

However, until these steps are actually taken,
and all healthy and treatable animals are safe
from losing their lives for simply being homeless,
rescue groups will continue to save a lucky few
who and give them a second chance for a new life.

Marian dreamed of a real home.. and her dream came true!

How can you help stop the needless killing?

~First, be sure that all your companion animals are spayed and neutered!

~Adopt one of our featured cats or foster a rescued animal if you can.

~Finally, let the Austin city council know that you fully support all efforts
to devote the resources needed to implement no-kill solutions
and make Austin a TRUE no-kill city!

Tuxedo Junction Rescue is at capacity and not accepting new cats into our facility.

(The only exception is adoption returns).

We are a very small shelter with limited capacity, and intake is possible only when adoptions occur.

Please note that we do not accept cats being given up by their guardians.
