We are so pleased to congratulate "5 Paw" City Council candidates Mike Martinez, Chris Riley, and Bill Spelman for their elections to the Austin City Council tonight. We look forward to working with you as we look ahead to a No Kill Austin.

Congratulations to FixAustin.org, which has become a national leader in shelter-reform advocacy. In fact, FixAustin.org founder Ryan Clinton, an appellate attorney who has five times been named one of the best attorneys in Texas under 40, was a featured speaker at the No Kill Conference in Washington D.C. at the beginning of May. Three cheers for animal advocates!
This evening, Fox 7 News ran a story on the importance of having a foster program to reduce the completely unnecessary killing of young kittens. As the story mentioned, Town Lake Animal Center killed 32 completely healthy kittens in April 2009 alone just because they were too young to adopt out. A large-scale foster program at TLAC would save these cats, but of course, TLAC says it doesn't need a foster program (or it alread has one?).
Hello friends,
