Meet Goose! He is a younger cat at less than two years old and only five pounds. He’s got a pretty coat of grey fur wrapped around a white underside and big yellow eyes that take in the world. Goose came to the SPCA of Texas from a Good Samaritan who found him as a stray. He was fearful of people in the beginning and will still probably be a little timid around a new person at first. Goose will probably do well with another friendly cat in the house but doesn’t seem to be too fond of humans under the age of about 15 or so. Goose needs to go to a calm and quiet home that can give him the time it will take to acclimate to his new environment. Goose is housed at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center and can be visited seven days a week between the hours of noon and 6 p.m.
Adult dogs and cats are normally a $75 adoption fee from the SPCA of Texas. Puppies and kittens under the age of six months are $150. Adoption fees vary for small mammals, equestrian and livestock. Fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs six months and older and a FIV/FeLV test for cats four months and older, initial flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative, a microchip, 30 days of PetHealth Insurance provided by PetHealth, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a rabies tag and a free leash.
In an effort to reduce the potential for COVID-19 to spread to more people via gatherings of people and to protect the health and well-being of the animals in the care, their staff and volunteers, as well as the community, the SPCA of Texas is following all appropriate CDC guidelines. The Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center is open to the public seven days a week 12-6 p.m. Appointments are required for foster animals.
