About League City Pets Alive aka Friends of League City Animal Shelter

Location:

PO BOX 57069, WEBSTER, TX 77598, US

Mission Statement

For 16 years League City Pets Alive has been committed to rescuing, sterilizing, and finding homes for vulnerable animals. We are committed to saving lives by reducing the number of cats being euthanized in animal shelters and reducing animal homelessness. As a foster based, all volunteer, nonprofit, we tirelessly work 7 days a week, partnering with local pet supply stores where we place cats in condos for adoption. Through the unwavering commitment to advocacy and action we promote responsible pet ownership and enlighten the public of the accessibility and affordability of spay/neuter and other basic vet services.

Description

In 2013, shelter management and League City Pets Alive (LCPA) set two ambitious goals: to achieve no-kill status and secure a new shelter facility. Thanks to community support, in 2017 we reached no-kill by achieving a 90% live release rate of animals entering the shelter and the new shelter opened in 2020

However, when the shelter began sterilizing and releasing adoptable cats back to their original locations without ensuring a caretaker, we made the difficult decision to sever our partnership. LCPA pivoted its mission to focus on helping the cats that needed us most.

Today, LCPA provides cats for adoption seven days a week at six local pet supply stores. Our Kitty Condo Krewe, a dedicated volunteer team, manages over 70 shifts each week to care for the cats and match them with loving homes. This program has been incredibly successful, with adoption numbers consistently exceeding 300 cats annually.
