⭐️ 11 ⭐️ adoptions at La Cantera this weekend!!

We’re kicking off Fiesta with a bang (and a rain poncho or two). What an amazing turnout of animal lovers coming together for this important work here in San Antonio. We laughed, we saved lives, and somehow, we stayed dry. 🌧️

A huge thank you to @theshopsatlacantera for accommodating our ragtag bunch, and for gifting our adopters with one-of-a-kind Fiesta medals. These special trinkets will always spark that memory of rescue magic!

We are SO grateful for this opportunity this Easter weekend, and for all of those involved. Let’s do it again sometime. 🫶🐾☔️🐶🐈‍⬛

Wondering why ducks have taken over SNIPSA’s feed? 💭🐥🦆

We’ve teamed up with the First Day Foundation, Rotary Club of San Antonio, and Snack Pak 4 Kids to raise funds for important nonprofit work here in San Antonio!

When you race a duck with SNIPSA’s team in the Duck Derby, your dollars directly contribute to our rescue mission. 🐾 This means more animals rehabilitated and rehomed, as well as more free and reduced-price spay/neuter surgeries for underserved pets!

⭐️When: May 9th, 2026
⭐️ Where: The Historic Pearl at the Riverbend Amphitheater
⭐️ The Fun: Live music, food vendors, and prizes!
⭐️ Cost: Only $10 per duck to enter the race.

So, adopt your duck now and join us for an amazing cause! Link in bio to get started. 🫶

Richie’s world changed overnight.

When his owner moved, he was left behind outdoors, and everything familiar was gone in an instant. For a cat who thrives on routine, it was overwhelming… but Richie never lost his spirit.

A neighbor stepped in when things took a turn. He was struggling to urinate, fearful, and the cold was coming.

So instead of giving up on him… She gave him a chance and took him into foster care.
Here’s who Richie really is:
• Your personal door greeter (nothing gets past him)
• Snack enthusiast (will absolutely work for treats)
• Professional lounger (floor naps are his specialty)
• Quiet, steady companion
• Window-watching expert
• Certified cuddle bug

Richie has already been left behind once. He just needs someone who won’t leave again.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving best friend, Richie is ready. 🐾💙
