Mia came to Friendswood Animal Control in June 2017. She and her two newborn kittens were trapped by a resident, then transported to the facility where she gave birth to a third. Although she wasn't aggressive, she was terrified of people and cages and unable to be handled. After 5…

Adoption is for Life, not just for Christmas! We're all for Christmas adoptions when they're done with thought and planning. Our saying is, "Adopt AT Christmas. Adopt FOR LIFE." All of the stray pets featured in this video have been adopted into loving homes!

These kittens were found in the bushes after a person using a weed eater hit one of them giving it more than 10 gashes on its body. It has since recovered and is doing well!

Update: Unfortunately, this kitten died about 4 hours after this video was taken. Despite our many medical intervention efforts, her little body was just too far depleted to make it back to us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This 3.2 Oz kitten was found in a pile of storm debris left over from the…

These three kittens were found in the bushes when one of them was hit with a weed eater. The kitten had 11 gashes on his tiny body which were closed up with glue at the vet. It was touch-and-go at first, but she seems to be doing well. Her siblings…

These kittens are transitioning from being bottle fed to eating solid food. They don't know how to chew yet, so they're sucking their food, which makes for some funny faces!

When baby kittens are weaned they often fight over food bowls, not only hurting each other, but making a big mess. These kittens, several of whom are Hurricane Harvey rescues, are trying our the "Kitten Feeding Trough" for the first time. The trough is actually a galvanized trough feeder intended…

Tinkerbell, a 4 pound chihuahua, came to animal control VERY pregnant and proceeded to have four puppies. This video shows the puppies, about 3-4 weeks old, beginning to play. All were adopted by great families. As for Tinkerbell, we fell in love with her and adopted her ourselves!

We were trying to get this kitten to sit still so we could take her picture, when she suddenly had an important email to send!

Each year, volunteers from our facility step up to play Santa's Elves and deliver pets to children on Christmas Eve and Morning.

Every year we get dozens of kittens dropped off at the facility from well-meaning people who think they've been abandoned. In some instances, this may be true, but in many instances, the mother cat is simply out hunting for food. Unfortunately, when babies come into the facility at a young…

Stormy, a 4-week-old kitten was rescued during Hurricane Harvey, and left at the front of a fire station. Firefighters called animal control to pick her up and she arrived at my door about 9:30 at night. She was cold, wet, and covered in a petroleum-like sticky substance. After two baths,…

This kitten was "evacuated" from an evacuation shelter after hurricane harvey. Only about 3 weeks old!

This kitten came to the animal shelter with a very infected and damaged leg. The vet did surgery on it but still thought he would likely lose it. Two weeks later and here he is fully recovered! Still needs an adopter though!

UPDATE: Baron has been adopted! Baron is an adoptable cat at Friendswood Animal Control. Every time he is let out of his cage, he runs straight for the water faucet.
