Meet Frosty the Snowshoe ☃️

This sweet girl was seized by animal control after finding her being kept in a wire cage so small she couldn’t even move. She had open wounds and old scars on her legs from being pressed against the bars of the kennel for so long. Frosty was malnourished and also had an upper respiratory infection. Despite her traumatic experiences and being in such rough shape, Frosty immediately nudged her hand into her foster’s hand when getting picked up from the shelter.

Our biggest expense is vetting, especially when we intake kitties like Frosty that require extra care. Donate towards Frosty’s care by helping us reach our Giving Tuesday goal of $15,000.

We were contacted about a huge colony of over 20 stray cats in rural Jasper, Texas that desperately needed our help. They were being attacked/killed by stray dogs and their only source of food was from a kind elderly woman who put out cat food whenever she could afford it. So far, our volunteers have spent over 30 hours traveling and trapping 18 of these cats. But we aren’t done yet. We are committed to saving every cat in the colony, Siamese or not.

This one colony will cost us thousands of dollars in vet care but we couldn’t turn a blind eye. Donate towards our $15,000 Giving Tuesday goal to help us get these cats the care they deserve.

Meet Jingle. Yesterday a local shelter reached out to us about a kitten that had been owner surrendered in horrific condition. He has a number of issues like mange, ringworm, parasites and a broken tail just to name a few. We don’t know how anyone could let this tiny guy suffer for so long. He is now safe with a medical foster and will never know pain or suffering again. We are hopeful that he will make a full recovery - crooked tail aside.

Donate towards our Giving Tuesday goal of $15,000 to help us save kitties like Jingle that need extra care!

As of 3:30 PM, we are approximately 25% to goal. Keep sharing and let's get those funds rolling in.

We are kicking off Giving Tuesday just a few minutes early. A few donations have already started coming in and we are so grateful.

Sebastian is this year's ambassador. He is newly listed and adoptable.

Our goal this year is $15,000.

Austin Siamese Rescue does two major fundraisers each year. One for Giving Tuesday and one in the Spring during Amplify Austin. Together these help us pay for the medical needs of the cats and kittens we bring into the rescue during the year. Kitten season has gotten longer each year in Central Texas and our funds are depleted as we move into winter. Your generous donations will help us care for the many cats we get pleas to help during the winter and take us into the next start of kitten season.

You can donate multiple ways:

As always, we thank you so very much for all of your support.

We’re still working towards our Giving Tuesday fundraiser goal of $15,000. 100% of your donations go directly to saving kitties like Simon from suffering on the streets! We rely entirely on donations to cover the costs of vet care, which continues to increase every year. We mean it when we say we couldn’t do it without you🤍

Help us rescue more kitties from overflowing Texas shelters by donating for Giving Tuesday! Check the comments for ways you can donate to our rescue 🤍

Princess Plum and Zeke came from a shelter in south Texas. Zeke was not thriving and Plum’s eyes stay dilated. With the help of donations, both were able to get the care that they needed. Plum saw an eye specialist to determine why her eyes stay dilated. It turns out she was born almost completely blind but acclimated so well that it never bothered her. These two kitties became best friends and were adopted together. A recent update from their adopter says that they are doing great and you’d never guess Plum is blind.

Costs particularly for medical have risen dramatically over the years. All rescues need help. Can we count on you?

Cabo and Lucas came in a litter of six from San Antonio. They were the runts of the litter and in very bad shape. Had we not taken them in, they would perished. Their incredible foster mom nurtured them back to health and ensured they got everything they needed to thrive. They were adopted together and their new family said that the boys came into their lives at just the right time! It’s with your support and donations that we’re able to save entire litters.

Suki came to us from Corpus Christi as an overweight stray cat with a big purple stain on her belly. A local trapper told us it was highly possible she was deliberately painted to be used as target practice and we just knew we had to help. She found an incredible adopter who helped her get down to a healthy weight and the purple stain remains only a memory of what Suki’s fate could have been.

Donate towards our $15,000 Giving Tuesday goal so that we can say “yes” to helping more cats like Suki.

Help us save more kitties like Spoon by donating towards our Giving Tuesday goal of $15,000. See the link in the comments on how to donate to our rescue!

Spoon was rescued with his siblings, Fork and Knife, from the streets of Houston with an upper respiratory infection so bad that their eyes were crusted shut. After receiving an intense round of antibiotics, eye ointment and lots of love from their foster mom, they transformed into happy, healthy kitties. Spoon (now Vermithrax) is unrecognizable when looking at this before and after!
