Friends for Life Animal Shelter in Houston

Look at these babiessss! Aren’t they gorgeous? I met them a few months ago at a Friends for Life adoption event in Houston. Friends for Life is one of only two LEED-certified no kill animal shelters in Texas. That means they are a certified green building ? You definitely get a different feel when you walk through their doors, and I don’t just mean aesthetics. First of all, it’s quiet! Granted, the main part of the shelter open to the public only has about eight to ten dogs, but normally shelters are extremely loud and chaotic. Friends for Life, on the other hand, has a calm and peaceful vibe that is nice for visitors, but even nicer for the animals that live there.

I visited twice in one week, if that tells you anything! Check out the adorable cats and dogs that I met during my visits and all the wonderful facts I learned about this progressive no kill shelter ??

10 Secret Facts About Cats

10 secret facts about cats

Looking through my blog you might get the impression that I’m more of a dog person, which may be the teeniest bit true ? but only because I worked so closely with dogs during my time at numerous animal shelters and volunteering with dog rescue groups.

However, I grew up with lots of cats that my family rescued and I have only respect and admiration for the feline persuasion. I’ll never forget bottle feeding my kitten Petey. My landlord’s neighbor found him abandoned in a barn when he was only about a week old. He fit in the palm of my hand and he had big blue eyes and I would bring him to work in a big canister lined with a fuzzy blanket so I could feed him every couple of hours. My dogs loved him, especially my pit mix Josie. She would give him lots of tongue baths and was very protective. It was adorable.

I love all of the cats in my life, past and current. I know there will be many more to come. And considering that cats are the most popular pet in the United States, here are some little known facts that I put together about these independent, intelligent and oftentimes sassy creatures ?
