This weekend the Austin Animal Center is trying to find forever homes for more than 200 felines. There are currently around 800 cats in the Center’s care, with approximately 250 ready for adoption (the remainder are either under medical care or are in foster homes). Because they’re basically overflowing with cats, the Center has waived adoption fees until July 4, which means they’re giving away free kitties!!!!
Just head down to the Austin Animal Center at 7201 Levander Loop this weekend, and find your new friend. Not ready to bring home a new companion, just yet? You can still make a difference in the lives of animals by volunteering or donating!
The joys of cat parenthood are basically never-ending, so we thought we’d wrangle a few of our favorite kitteh memes to get you all set for your journey into the land of furballs. Enjoy!
When you’re cleaning up hairballs at 3 a.m. just remember, it could be worse — you could be a dog person.
Sure, having a pet can get pretty pricey, but with a little extra training you can have them paying their own way.
Hell, they even make their own toys. Even better!
Plus, where else could you possibly find such wonderful gestures of affection?
Who else can provide hours and hours of useless entertainment like a cat?
They’ll totally get into the same pop culture stuff that you love, just to spend more time with you.
They’ll sing all of your favorite songs. Or just the ones that will annoy you to death and get stuck in your head.
They’ll help you figure out your life goals and how to best achieve them.
And on those days when getting out of bed just isn’t an option, they’ll be there with you, giving you cuddles and throwing the rest of the world shade alongside you.
They’ll be there to make you laugh (and possibly even Internet famous).
And the cuteness just basically never quits…
Just take good care of them.
And they’ll do the same for you.
Give them lots of love…
And they’ll give you plenty in return…
Because, why? KITTIES! (Duh.)
