Kitten Sweet Pea

Here in central Texas we generally enjoy mild winters but every now and then we get a cold snap. In fact forecasters are predicting several very cold nights and days this winter. We like to be warm and cozy indoors – and some lucky animals get the benefit of our love of the heater or fireplace but not all live such a pampered life. If you have out door cats or dogs please make special arrangements to make sure they stay safe, happy and healthy.

Here are some tips:

Please read our latest newsletter, which can be viewed on the website at this link. We have had another good year of helping animals get rescued, get well, get happy, and get homes. We couldn't possibly have done it without your help. Only together can we continue our mission, so close to our hearts.

Check out the latest edition of our newsletter for news about our current activities, stories of rescued kittens and not-so-young cats, and details of upcoming events.

Max, all stretched out for an afternoon nap

It's getting hot here in central Texas, and the cat run cats don't mind a bit. Even though they have access through a cat door to an air-conditioned room, most of them prefer basking in the heat out in the screen room. There are sunny spots and shady spots, lots of high places to nap, and ramps to move from one level to another, as well as plentiful food and fresh water.

Three cheers for Thundering Paws incredible webmaster, Christine Lerios! We are extremely fortunate to have this talented woman on our team of volunteers. She's renovated our entire site to make it more up to date and easier to navigate.
