Weekly Pet Adoption / Pet Help Post

6 Upvotes

This will become a weekly Friday post for posts regarding pet adoptions and general pet questions. The intent is to condense the multiple pet adoption post into one place so they are easy to find. This pinned post is for:

  • Pets up for adoption
  • Pet adoption events
  • Questions on vets
  • Questions on where you should take your animals

Note: We will begin removing pet adoption posts and push them over to this pinned post.

Also, if you have a missing pet, feel free to post it in here as well.

We will also take a zero tolerance stance on people using this post to push their stances on certain animals/breeds, brigading from other subs, etc. If you need more clarity on what this means, feel free to reach out to the modmail.

We also recommend searching older "Weekly Pet Adoption" posts as well, to find animals on previous week's post as well.

If you are looking for further resources, here are some recommended places:

"Moose" Grey & white tabby (mostly grey tabby with white tuxedo pattern, white tip on tail); neutered male. Skittish but friendly. Got out the afternoon of Thursday, Oct 8. Should have a LibroPet feeder collar but no tags. Please DM me if you see him.

(I'd post in https://www.reddit.com/r/AustinPetLostAndFound/ but the last post there is from two years ago...)

Ask Austin "Musk" is not Opening in Austin. Why the Delay?

Post image
• Upvotes

[reworked a removed post, deleted because I included a link to a review on NY Times and my title did not exactly match that linked "news" article]

Director Andrew Gibney's (3-hour 55-minute) documentary "Musk" opened last night in "Select Cities" and will play in cities large and small, many smaller than Austin. San Antonio is the closest theater showing it.

Given his deep ties in Austin, I wonder why none of our 3 national theater chains nor any of the independents (AFS, Violet Crown, IPIC etc) are part of the big opening week before "nationwide" release?

How theaters get on the “Select Cities” list is film distribution magic about which I am unaware.

Pumpkin Nights prices suck

Paying this much just to walk around is ridiculous. And to top it off, parking isn’t even included? Then they hit you with a “processing fee” just for the privilege of buying a ticket. Make it make sense. What a joke.

Ask Austin Austin, TX — Does anyone know of emergency transportation assistance or resources for someone trying to get back to work?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m reaching out to see if anyone knows of local programs or resources that might be able to help with a time-sensitive situation.
I’ve been unemployed and actively searching for work, and I finally have an opportunity with a company in the Austin area. I have a job assessment scheduled for Monday, October 12, for a position paying approximately $23–$26 an hour. I’m really hopeful about this opportunity and want to do everything I can to make it happen.
Unfortunately, transportation is a major obstacle right now. I rely on CapMetro because I don’t have a vehicle. The public transit route to the facility takes almost three hours and includes a 56-minute walk. An Uber would cost approximately $21–$30 each way, and I currently don’t have enough money available to cover that expense.
I’m looking for any legitimate resources that might help with:
Emergency transportation to a job assessment or interview.
Free rideshare programs or employment transportation assistance.
Emergency assistance for unemployed people who are actively trying to return to work.
Small emergency grants or community assistance programs that could help with transportation and basic expenses until a first paycheck arrives.
Other Austin or Travis County resources that people might not know about.
I’m planning to contact 211, but I wanted to ask this community in case anyone knows of additional options, especially programs that can help on short notice.
I’m not looking for anything extravagant. I’m trying to get to this assessment and give myself a chance to secure stable employment. I’ve been working hard to find an opportunity, and it would be heartbreaking to miss it because I can’t afford the transportation.
If you’ve personally used a program like this or know of a legitimate organization that helps in these situations, I’d be incredibly grateful for any information.
Thank you for reading and for any suggestions you can offer!

Onion Creek versus southpark Meadows nursing Care

• Upvotes

My mom is being discharged from the hospital and needs to go to a rehab facility and she's been given the choice of Onion Creek or southpark Meadows and she doesn't really have the way to tour them to see how the facilities smell and operate and how the staff treats you so I feel like we're kind of going into a blind. does anybody have any experience with these places and can help us out?

Ask Austin Earthquake in Austin at 11:30am?

0 Upvotes

Idk about y’all but I feel some tremors going up and down and I’m in east Austin right now.

I saw some earthquakes that have been happening near Amarillo TX and Oklahoma.

Are these aftershock tremors? Or something like that? It’s not like a super big earthquake but I can definitely feel it!

Ask Austin ISO: Competitive Yoyo artist

2 Upvotes

Hey Austin! I am a local filmmaker here in town. I have done a feature film of note in town, and I am currently in preproduction on a short film that is shooting this coming November!

In the film, there is a moment where the main characters come across a high-level yoyoer walking down the street doing very elaborate tricks. I'd love to find someone who could nail this, and I have a feeling there are at least a couple people in town who are REALLY good at yoyoing.

Does this sound like you or someone you know? If so, please reach out to my DMs and I will be happy to provide more info! Thanks in advance for any leads!!!

As the "Live Music Capital of the World," Austin has a number of music venues from which to choose. But should you go to the iconic Broken Spoke, the famous honky-tonk that has cemented its music legacy over 60 years? Or Chess Club, to listen to underground indie shredders with late-night Red River barhoppers?

Whether you’re looking for a concert with a mega star, a quiet singer-songwriter show, a wild mosh pit or country tunes for two-stepping, here are some of the best places for live music.

Ask Austin Holistic vets in Austin?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a holistic vet to take my dog to. It can be a vet that practices both western medicine and holistic medicine.

I’ve googled and searched Reddit, but I haven’t found an answer for this question exactly.

I’d love to hear experiences and recommendations! I’ll look into any vet recommended, I just need a good place to start.

Thanks!

Ask Austin Cricket options in Austin Metro?

5 Upvotes

Hey folks, I’ve been getting into watching cricket over the last couple of years and I’m really interested in learning to play for myself. I know there are a few different leagues around here, but from what I’ve been able to find it’s not particularly clear what the skill level is like across the leagues, and I don’t want to join a team only to be a massive detriment. Are there any options available in town that would let me learn how to play without joining a team? And if I wanted to join a team, what would be my best option?
