Hey folks,

I'm traveling for business this week in Austin and saw a couple of cats plus a kitten (not pictured) hanging out around the hotel I'm staying at. I gave them some food but will be leaving Thursday night.

Any local rescues or good Samaritans that could help them?

  • Thanks for caring. Type in the zip code you’re in to this website and it will give you local resources like tnr groups etc. Reach out to all the emails and numbers it provides to see if anyone will help out. Focus on the tnr orgs. Best of luck. https://gethelp.alleycat.org

  • Sadly you are getting to see first hand what is happening all around in the states and countries. People just dumping their unfixed cats and it has gotten out of control. It has been happening since I was a kid, now 64 😞 there are now stand alone people with big hearted souls feeding , trying to give some kind of shelter and groups that are trapping them to get them spayed/neutered. Thank you for trying to find help for them🩵

  • They gonna keep returning after you fed them. There was a time I would rescue , TNR and took them to petco on the weekend. Long before facebook. They all got adopted. Please reach out to rescues, even if they can’t take them in, they might able to catch, TNR and release back in worst case. Thanks! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • Please reach out to local rescues. Secure the animal if you can. I’m in Nevada , they respond fairly quickly.. Good luck to you, and thanks for reaching out, not leaving behind an innocent animal in need. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • Any update? Did you take them home?

    I could not take them home as I don't live in Austin. I was traveling, and these little guys were outside the hotel.

    I don’t know. I’ve seen people bring cats home from different countries. Obviously that didn’t happen here. Were you able to report to different rescues? I don’t want these babies left out there and it seems like you don’t either. Is there I way I can help?

  • Austin Pets alive - I know you're back now but can you reach out to let them know they are there?

  • What’s the hotel?

    parent

    Courtyard Marriott Austin Airport. The Austin subreddit said to email the community cats program and I did, they said they had a trap request for the address already.
