Amy Venticinque, MM
Amy graduated from University of Maryland and received her Masters in Music from Rice University. She is a violinist with the San Antonio Symphony where she has worked for more than twelve years.
When not performing, she teaches private lessons to developing young musicians. Amy is very involved in improving the life of feral cats and has spent countless hours trapping, sterilizing, and educating the general public about their care. She is a reliable, hard-working, and go-to kind of person.
Amy has been a valuable asset to the SNIPSA team – manning the cat surgery area at our Big Fix clinics, trapping and transporting countless feline patients, recovering these same feral cats in her home until they could safely be returned, and participating in numerous weekend adoption events.

In light of #GivingTuesday, we can`t help ourselves but to highlight a little story. ❤️🩹 Meet our beloved Gilligan, who we recently rescued from a rural shelter. This large fluffball was born with terrible hips. Though he tries to run and keep up with the other dogs in the play yard, he is clearly uncomfortable, hopping more like a rabbit than running like a dog. Radiographs showed this young fellow has significant hip dysplasia, and he will need surgery to make his life better. With two FHO`s (femoral head osteotomy) on the horizon, we are determined to provide the best quality life for him. Every pet in our adoption program is treated like our very own. We are in it to win it for the animals!!!! 🐾

P.S. Gilligan is available for adoption if you are interested in an 70 lb LOVE BUG.

Thanks to you, we’ve accomplished a lot in 2023 so far…but there are still animals that need our help! 💙
Your #GivingTuesday dollars result in adoption events to rehome animals in our care. They pay for proper vetting of all animals that come through our program, from simple matters of fleas and ticks to broken bones that result in costly surgeries. They support our bi-annual Big Fix clinics that spay, neuter, microchip and vaccinate almost 1,000 animals a year. And that`s just the half of it. 🐈⬛✂️🐩🐾✨

Thank you all for your name suggestions, support on social media and most importantly, your donations! 😍 Little boy is feeling so much better today after his treatment — bouncing around with his toys, whining to play with the other dogs and seeking all the love from our office staff. He has to “quarantine” for just a little while longer, and then he’s HOME FREE! ✨

LADY UPDATE ❤️🎄This strong girl is doing well post-op! She was able to get in some R&R this weekend and sported a festive new bandage, courtesy of our creative vet techs. Continued prayers for our beloved Lady as she heals and begins her search for a new home! 🐾🎁

Check out this thankful little turkey! 🙏❤️🩹 Pulled from death row last week, this sweet, hairless boy hasn’t experienced a loving touch in a while. Mange mites, one eye crusted shut, overgrown nails…let’s work together to get him spruced up for the holidays. Please consider saving a few Black Friday dollars to sponsor this pup and help find him a home. 🏡 This doggo also needs a NAME, so let us know your suggestions in the comments!

Today, we are so incredibly thankful for all of YOU. 🥰 Our fosters, volunteers, adopters, donors, staff and supporters all come together year-round to make a difference in the lives of animals in San Antonio. Oh, and let’s not forget the office cat! 🐾
Happy Thanksgiving, SNIPSA peeps! We’ll see you on Monday. 🦃🍂👋

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we want to give a shoutout to our cherished friends at @karask9retreat! 🎾🐶🐾🦴
Kara’s K9 has fostered many SNIPSA dogs over the past several months—Chiquita, Chance, Giraffe, Rambler, Kyro, Jack, Doodle…just to name a few. Their cage-free environment offers a unique doggy daycare experience and allows our rescues a chance to get their wiggles out! Our pups are able to socialize and come into their own in a structured, fun space. Kara’s has done such a phenomenal job that some previous SNIPSA dogs are now regulars at their daycare facility.
Thank you, Kara’s K9, for all you do for us! 👏💖

Of course in the midst of the Holiday, animals don’t cease to become ill. 🤔 Poor Lady girl was surrendered to an area shelter with a large ulcerated mass on her neck. Little did we know that she also had a large invasive mass on her spleen. ❤️🩹 With the help of a beloved and special veterinarian, Lady received surgery late yesterday to remove the tumors. We are awaiting histopath results but aren’t overly encouraged. She is still spry, eating and a tail wagging. That’s simply the beauty of our pets, they never seem to know what’s wrong and handle adversity like champions. Please consider donating to her care through the link in our bio. We do our best to provide the very best! 🦮🐕🦺🐩
