We’re officially 14 days away from North Texas Giving Day, and the cats would like a word.

Actually… several words.

“Feed me.”
“Pet me.”
“Stop petting me.”
“Why is my bowl only 97% full?”
“And most importantly… PLEASE help our friends.”

Cats and kittens make up a huge part of the animals coming into our shelter, and kitten season can turn into kitten chaos very quickly. One of the ways we help tackle the problem before even more unwanted litters are born is by supporting TNR — Trap, Neuter, Return.

Community cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned to the area they call home. No dating. No surprise litters. No tiny kitten army taking over the neighborhood.

It’s not glamorous, but it works.

And with shelters already full, helping control the community cat population is one very important way we can reduce the number of cats and kittens needing shelter in the future.

Our North Texas Giving Day goal is $28,097, and we have just 14 days left to get there. Your gift helps Friends of Tri-City Animal Shelter continue supporting programs and needs that give animals in our community healthier, happier futures.

So, on behalf of the kittens, the community cats, the shelter cats…and that one cat who has been silently judging us from across the room for the last 20 minutes:

Please donate.

Because fewer unwanted litters means fewer homeless kittens, less strain on our shelter, and more cats living their best nine lives.

Thank you for helping us help them. 🐾

Donate today and help us reach $28,097!

🌈🐾 National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🐾🌈

We know there are some of us you still miss.

The one who slept beside you every night.
The one who knew when you were sad before you ever said a word.
The one whose favorite spot is still hard to look at.
The one you still expect to hear coming down the hallway.

We know you would give anything for one more tail wag, one more purr, one more sloppy kiss, one more quiet moment together.

So today, from all of us dogs and cats still here waiting for our own people, we want you to know something...

The love you gave them mattered.

They knew they were loved. They knew they were safe. They knew they belonged to you.

And even though their paws no longer walk beside yours, they left something behind that never goes away — a piece of themselves tucked forever inside your heart. ❤️

Today, tell us their name. Share their picture. Tell us the silly thing they did, the nickname you called them, or the memory that still makes you smile through the tears.

We would be honored to remember them with you.

🌈 Run free, sweet ones. Chase the squirrels. Nap in the sunshine. Save a spot for your people. They still love you more than you could ever know. 🐾❤️

Just look at these sweet faces💜💜💜

🐾 HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! 🐾

Today is all about the tail wags, sloppy kisses, zoomies, couch hogs, treat inspectors, and four-legged best friends who somehow manage to make life better just by being in it. ❤️🐶

At Tri-City Animal Shelter & Adoption Center, we’re celebrating every dog — especially the ones still waiting for someone to call their own.

Some are big. Some are small.
Some are goofy. Some are shy.
Some want to hike every trail with you, and some would prefer to supervise life from the couch. 😂

But every single one of them wants the same thing: a family.

So in honor of National Dog Day, consider celebrating in a way that could change a life:

🐾 Adopt
🐾 Foster
🐾 Volunteer
🐾 Donate
🐾 Share a shelter dog’s photo

And if your home is already ruled by a dog, give that good boy or girl an extra treat today. (They told us to add that part.) 🦴😉

Happy National Dog Day from all the pups still waiting for their happily-ever-after! 🐕❤️🏡

🐾 INTERNATIONAL HOMELESS ANIMALS DAY 🐾

Today, we’re thinking about the ones who don’t have a couch to claim, a bed to hog, or a person to greet with a wildly inappropriate amount of enthusiasm. ❤️

They didn’t choose to be homeless.

Some were lost and never found.
Some were surrendered.
Some were born without ever knowing the comfort of a home.
And far too many are still waiting in shelters for someone to simply choose them.

Behind every kennel door is an animal with a story — and hopefully, a beautiful next chapter. 🐶🐱

You can be part of that chapter.

🏠 ADOPT — Give a homeless animal a home of their own.
🐾 FOSTER — Give them a soft place to land while they wait.
🤝 VOLUNTEER — Give your time, your hands and your heart.
❤️ DONATE — Help provide the care they need.
📣 SHARE — Sometimes one share is all it takes to reach their future family.

On International Homeless Animals Day, we hope for the day when shelters aren’t overflowing and every animal knows what it feels like to be safe, loved and HOME.

Until then, we’ll keep showing up for them. ❤️🐾

Because homeless should never mean hopeless.
