Welcome To The Austin Siamese Rescue Home Page!
May Adoption Focus:Kittens!!!

This month we turn our attention to the kittens who yearn to be loved by someone as their adorable, special one.  Our rescue kittens would love a home where their frolick and security can be fulfilled entirely, and only you can see to it that these cute little bundles of joy achieve their full potential. Kittens bring such personality and an entirely different dimension to every home. Check out our featured kittens here and feel free to browse our other kittens. And if none grab at your heart strings, don't despair, it's kitten season and many others will join our adoption list of cuteness before you know it. Ready to adopt?   Get started now by completing an adoption application online.   It takes only a few minutes to complete and will have you on your way to furball heaven in no time!

One of our biggest needs is a place to provide love and protection to cats and kittens until we can find them a forever home. If you have room for a cat or two, it's one of the greatest things you can do to volunteer!

Sorrel’s Fund

Sorrel’s Fund was created to provide an ongoing means of providing special care for special cats.  Established in May, 2011 with a generous donation from a long-time Siamese lover and rescuer, Paula Weber-Lohmeier, Sorrel’s fund is designed to help Austin Siamese Rescue cats in long-term foster care obtain special medical care that often can’t be covered by the rescue’s adoption donation fees.  ASR’s adoptions fees only cover a small portion of the veterinary cost of testing, spay/neuter and other basic costs required for adoption. 

By contributing to Sorrel’s fund, you can continue the tradition of supporting Siamese Rescue cats in need and recognize a beloved pet, person or group. Your contribution, whether large or small, enables ASR to continue to help cats receive the necessary veterinary care they need over and above the standard vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, micro-chipping, and testing.

Some of the types of care funded through this memorial include:

• Veterinary Lab Work, Surgery
• X-rays, Ultrasounds, Specialty care
• Prescription Drugs for asthma diabetes, thyroid, kidney, and other chronic cat diseases
• Dental cleanings, extractions (particularly necessary for older cats in rescue)
• Long-term wound or surgical rehabilitation care
• Other extraordinary veterinary expenses that exceed the norm

Recognizing your beloved one with a donation is easy through PayPal or a personal check. Donation receipts and memorial notes will be provided to the donor and/or loved ones as requested.  Donations of $50 or more will be recognized on the Sorrel’s fund memorial page of the Austin Siamese Rescue website. For donations above the $100 level, ASR will also post a digital photo of your remembered loved one on our Rainbow Bridge.

About Sorrel

Adopted from a high-kill shelter as a teenaged kitten just before scheduled euthanasia, Sorrel was a dilute blue-cream tortie Siamese mix with deep blue eyes.  Her mischievous outgoing personality personified “Tortitude.”  Sorrel was sweet and funny, but suffered from underlying medical conditions that may have led to her having been surrendered in the first place:  Asthma, stomatitis, food allergies, and more seriously, cardiopulmonary inflammatory issues that contributed in no small way to her final illness.  While Paula, an experienced owner and cat rescue foster, could afford Sorrel’s care, she realized that other owners/foster parents would not be so fortunate, and cats with Sorrel’s conditions would quickly deplete a rescue’s or future owner’s finances.
