SNIPSA is an organization formed by a group of veterinarians and caring individuals dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted animals in San Antonio and the surrounding area.

The Face of the Race is an annual peer-to-peer fundraiser hosted by SNIPSA in tandem with our 5k Race on Saturday, September 26th. The crown is awarded to the dog that raises the most money for homeless animals!

In the game of life, some are dealt a harder hand than most, but for Selena, destiny had other plans. She came into our program as a nursing mom, facing the uncertainty of shelter capacity. But we knew that being an “at-risk” mom was NOT her story. It was just the beginning of her second chance.
Named for the legendary spirit of the wasteland, Selena is as gentle as they come. She is a soft-spoken and incredibly sweet soul. Now, she spends her days doing exactly what she was meant to do: basking in the sunlight of her foster home and keeping a watchful, loving eye on her kittens. She has seen the hard side of life, yet she has an endless reserve of affection waiting for her person.
Selena is FIV-positive, but please don’t let that stop you from seeing the incredible companion she is. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is often misunderstood. It is not transmissible to humans or other species.
With care, FIV-positive cats live long, happy, and healthy lives, just like any other cat. They simply need a cozy indoor home, a nutritious diet, and the same routine veterinary care every cat deserves.
Are you ready to offer this brave mama the forever home she has so rightfully earned? Apply to schedule a meeting and see for yourself why Selena is the absolute best of the wasteland.
