My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello,

My name is Artemis same as the Greek goddess of the hunt and animals.  Wow!  Cool...

I just got here from the Bastrop shelter with my sister Addison, and we were scared out of our wits.  We are getting a little more comfortable BUT my sister is doing better than I am.

Foster mom will be keeping us for a week or two more or until we are comfortable being handled and with people, but we will be looking for our special forever home the whole time!

Let my foster mom know you might want me as your BFF and then come to meet me!!!

UPDATE:
Wow, time flies when you're having fun.  Foster Mom had to be away for 3 months, and we did not get much attention while she was gone, but now we're having special "lessons" in liking people and we're doing quite well.  I am STILL a big scaredy cat, but Foster Mom and Foster Sister are going to work really hard with me during Christmas vacation so we will be ready for our forever homes soon after.  We are both very healthy and beautiful and we are the age shown below here on this page.  We will make great BFF's, why not ask about us and take a chance - you won't be sorry!

UPDATE Jan 16:  We are still VERY skittery and Mom is going to order some Jackson Galaxy flower remedies and we will be moved into large cages so Mom and Sis can work directly with each one of us.  Here's hoping - -
I changed status to sponsorship so people would not be upset that these two are "not ready" for prime time.  IF you are truly interested and have experience with fearful kitties, please let me know.  Thanks! Rae

UPDATE June 2020: Sometimes we take in kitties that have been psychologically so traumatized that they never accept humans and do not allow physical contact with them. Such is Artemis' story.  She came in with her sister Addison and both were terrified.  I will never know what was done to them but after five years she is still extremely shy.  Now during Covid-19 we are spending additional time at home and Artemis is living in the main house where she can get used to the rhythms of a household AND hopefully will come around. For now, please note her status above is Sponsorship only.  If she does progress to the point, I feel she's adoptable I will change her status.  Thanks for your interest. You can contact me directly at rae@luvzhorses.com if you have additional questions about possibly adopting.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Go to our website Austinsiameserescue.org. Click adopt under the interested pet and this will take you to the application.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters go through a careful screening process to include reference checks, telephone interviews, and where appropriate, home visits. No cat will be placed in a new home which allows cats to go outside. The adoptive owners agree to give Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. the option of reclaiming the cat, should the adoption not work to the advantage of the new owner and the cat.

Adoption fees for Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. range from $100 to $225 and include such vet work as combo test, vaccinations, worming and flea control, and microchip. We spay or neuter all of our cats prior to placement and most of our kittens, depending on their size and readiness.

For more detailed information and our adoption policies, see the Adoption Info section of our web page.

More about this rescue

Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, formerly the Austin Branch of Texas Siamese Rescue. We focus on the 14 breeds of the Royal Thai Family, including Siamese, Balinese, Javanese, Oriental Shorthairs and Longhairs, Birmans, Burmese, Himalayans, Ocicats, Ragdolls, Snowshoes, and Tonkinese. All of the cats fostered in Austin are cared for in private homes by individuals who dedicate their spare time to this effort.

Our cats come from a variety of backgrounds. Some faced death at the shelter, while others came from abusive and neglectful households. Still others were treasured companions of guardians who could no longer care for them. What they all have in common is a need for a forever home, where they can live their lives as the happy, pampered cats they all deserve to be. We're looking for the perfect inside home for them!
