Zira II, Siamese mix

Zira II is an adorable female Siamese mix being cared for at Austin Siamese Rescue.

Her ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. Good news: She has had all her shots and is already house-trained. She is a special needs pet, so I will need regular visits to the vet and have a few other requirements. 

From Zira Ii's current caretaker:

Once upon a time, I was a street kitty in San Antonio, and had five sweet kittens. My babies were only a few days old when a nice person rescued us. Five months later, my babies have all gone to forever homes. And I'm kind of digging being inside. I don't get wet or hungry, and I have a litter box and a soft cozy place to sleep. Foster mom even taught me how to play with this thing called a wand toy and boy do I love it! Would you consider letting me come home with you?

Flotsam, domestic shorthair mix

Flotsam is a handsome male domestic shorthair mix staying at Austin Pets Alive!

Flotsam is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his requirements. He's already been neutered.

Here's what Flotsam's friends at Austin Pets Alive! think of him:

After his brother tested positive for FeLV, Flotsam, an outdoor cat, got tested and was brought here to protect him from getting sick. He's adorable, loves belly rubs and is playful with other cats. Although he hasn't had a ton of experience with kids, he's liked those he's met! He'll purr and let them pet him if they're nice about it. Now that he's come inside for good, Flotsam seeks a loving home, where he can display his affection and have a comfy place to snooze.
