Central Texas SPCA (transitioning to Central Texas Tails of Hope) is a non-profit adoption center based in Leander, Texas, dedicated to rescuing cats and dogs at risk of euthanasia from high-kill rural shelters. Providing personalized, force-free care in spacious indoor condos, the organization rehabilitates companion animals and matches them with loving families across Central Texas.
Central Texas Animal Sanctuary has adoption fees starting from $50.
Adult Cats (6 months and older): $50; Kittens (under 6 months): $95
Adopters generally must reside in the Central Texas area. Requirements include filling out an application, providing veterinary history verifying vaccinations and preventative care for current/past pets, providing 3 references (2 non-family personal references and 1 veterinary reference, or 3 non-family references if no pets), and having all household members meet the pet.
Adoptions are not same-day and applications are not approved on a first-come, first-served basis, but matched based on the best fit for the animal. Applicants must complete a screening application, submit references, and schedule an appointment to meet the animal at the shelter. Review and reference checks can take up to a week.
Adoption fees are $50 for adult cats (6 months of age and older) and $95 for kittens (under 6 months of age). These fees help cover spay/neuter surgery, rabies and core vaccinations, and testing.
No. The shelter is a private non-profit adoption center that does not accept owner surrenders or public drop-offs; all animals are pulled from rural high-kill shelters. Found stray animals must go through local municipal authorities, such as the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.
Screening includes an application covering living arrangements, residence details, veterinary history verification for current/past pets, and 3 references (including a vet reference if applicable). All household members must meet the pet. Processing takes up to one week, so animals do not go home on the same day.
Animals may be returned within one (1) year of adoption with reasonable advance notice, provided vaccinations have been kept up-to-date and space is available. If returned within two (2) weeks, the adoption fee may be refunded upon request.
