DFW Rescue Me

DFW Rescue Me (Dallas, Texas 73580) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose goal is to reduce the number of animals euthanized in Dallas.

This goal is possible by spaying / neutering, adoption programs, and educating about responsible pet ownership.

Each year 5-7 million animals enter shelters nationwide; 3-4 million of those are euthanized, simply because no one wants them.

Together we can make a difference and save lives. You can get involved by donating, fostering, volunteering and most importantly, adopting your next pet!

The Village Vets

It all began with the purchase of Cedar Village Animal Clinic on March 8, 2000, which later became The Village Vets of Lilburn-Stone Mountain.  Drs. Will Draper and Françoise Tyler, both 1991 graduates of Tuskegee University’s School of Veterinary Medicine (and married since 1993), opened The Village Vets of Decatur on March 26, 2001. The Village Vets is the result of their dreams come true.

The Village Vets provides a wide range of services such as preventative health care, dental care, surgery, boarding, and grooming.

Feral Cat Food Bank of Austin

Feral cats are abandoned pet cats. They were domesticated and then humans let them down, not even providing vet care and spaying/neutering. Many feral cats living together are called a “colony.” Feral colonies exist in a place where there is a natural resource for them, whether that is shelter, water, food, or all of the above. Once a colony forms, they begin to propagate. Since gestation is ONLY 66 days, a cat can have up to 4 litters per year. These kittens will probably grow up having no contact with human beings and therefore will be wild. Unfortunately, when one pair of kittens starts propagating, they can produce up to 382 cats by year three and 12,680 by year five (if all of the litters survive and propogate themselves). Luckily, if the wild kittens are trapped and tamed at approximately 5 weeks old, they can become wonderful trusting animal companions and NOT continue this terrible cycle.

The ONLY proven solution for adult feral cats is called TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return). The Feral Cat Food Bank of Austin (Austin, Texas) has added the letter “F” for food. TNRF. By feeding these cats, once they have been spayed/neutered and vetted, volunteers can help keep them healthier and prevent them from becoming a nuisance. The nuisance factor is usually cats scavenging for food, such as in a dumpster outside a restaurant.
