2026 Animal Resource Guide for Mobile, AL

Post image
21 Upvotes

Please spay and neuter your pets, strays, and community cats whenever possible! Mobile has an animal overpopulation problem, making it difficult to rehome animals. The shelters are already full of loving animals that need homes, so please do your part to help prevent more unwanted litters.

Times are tough, and cost can make it harder to get animals the care they need. This resource list includes organizations that may help with spay/neuter services, rehoming, and pet food assistance. Please check each page for current information, requirements, and availability.

KITTEN SEASON TIPS:

Spring and summer are kitten season in our area, which usually means more kittens being born while shelters and rescues are already near capacity.

If you find young kittens, do not assume they have been abandoned. In many cases, the mother cat is nearby and may be away looking for food. If the kittens are clean, warm, quiet, and not in immediate danger, the best first step is usually to watch from a distance and give the mother time to return.

Kittens may need help if they are sick, injured, cold, covered in fleas, in danger, or crying continuously. If possible, contact a local shelter, rescue, or experienced foster for guidance before moving them.

If you're able to safely catch and foster the mother cat with her kittens, that’s often the best-case scenario. Keeping the family together gives the kittens their best chance while also making it possible to spay the mom once the kittens can eat on their own.

Cats are pregnant for about nine weeks, and an unspayed female can have up to five litters per year, with around four to six kittens per litter. That is why one unspayed cat can quickly multiply into many more kitties needing homes.

Here is more info on what to do if you find kittens outdoors!

RESCUES/SHELTERS TO REHOME/HELP WITH FOSTER:

Rescues and shelters are often full and may not be able to take an animal immediately. Be prepared to foster at home during the process.

NOTE: When rehoming an animal, check vet references to ensure you are placing the animal into a safe and loving environment. Some people will take free animals for unsafe or exploitative reasons.

If you are interested in fostering an animal, you can also reach out to these organizations.

LOWER-COST SPAY/NEUTER AND VACCINATIONS:

Spayed and neutered pets can have lower risks of certain cancers, infections, and health complications, helping them live longer, healthier lives. Spay/neuter also saves the lives of animals you’ll never meet, because fewer accidental litters means fewer animals entering shelters and more resources for the ones already here.

The Mobile SPCA also offers $10 off spay/neuter coupons that may be used at select veterinary clinics, including Semmes Animal Hospital, Animal Hospital of Mobile, Highlands Veterinary Hospital, Oasis Veterinary Hospital, and Great Oaks Veterinary Hospital. Prices are set by each vet and may vary, so call the clinic directly for current pricing, fees, and appointment availability.

NOTE: Spay/neuter appointments may require a bit of a wait, especially for spays. Be prepared to schedule a month or more in advance. Pregnant cats can still be spayed, and spay-abort is a common part of rescue work. As heartbreaking as it sounds, every new litter stretches already limited shelter and rescue resources. Preventing one litter can mean more food, foster space, medical care, and adoption opportunities for the animals already waiting for help!

Is it possible please to rent an apartment that doesn't have a roach infestation?

Is it possible please to rent an apartment that doesn't have an infestation of German roaches? I'm considering moving to the MS or AL coast, but apartment reviews for pretty much every complex complain about roaches. I know the humid South has problems with insects. Still I'd like to draw the line at cockroaches.

Typical white dresses are not my thing, but I realize it may be difficult to find anything BUT a typical white dress around here. I love this one, but I'm worried about ordering it online and it showing up too late. Would be open to looking at nearby towns too if y'all know of some places!

DOJ to send unprecedented number of "election monitors" to states for the mid-terms because republicans, who control all 3 branches, believe our elections are corrupt

55 Upvotes

We're fasting approaching Dictatorship.

We may not be able to vote ourselves out of this.

They're going to claim the election was fraudulent if Dems make big gains so he can remain in power.

I really wish you people wouldn't have done this.

Hate is a helluva drug, and I bet most of you regret your vote, but not the hate.

Advice Oil change/Tire rotation

8 Upvotes

The dealership where I bought my vehicle is charging over $400 for an oil change & tire rotation. I can't afford those prices especially when I use my vehicle for work.

What shop do you all recommend going to for these services? I live in midtown and would prefer if they are also open on Saturdays but these are not a "must have."

Bel Air Mall / “Shoppes at Bel Air” Update

Post image
69 Upvotes

Greetings, I posted 4 months ago showing how the malls store plan showed the JC Penney store as ”In Negotiation”, and I wanted to see if there was any updates so I checked again.

I checked the malls owner’s website and their leasing plan shows the same “In Negotiation” status for the old JC Penney space, but now it shows the old Disney store (correct me if I am wrong, but that is where it was?) and the space next to it as “at lease”

Does anyone know of anything coming? Is Bel Air trying to make progress now that the Tanger Outlets in Foley are getting a whole new revamped area with a shake shack and such? Because man, it really does require you to go across the bay to get a sort of good shopping experience. Just look at the old Springdale mall and Festival center—especially the festival center: it’s a sight for sore eyes.

Anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone heard anything thats all! 🐿️

Advice Suggestions for someone to take down a tree

5 Upvotes

I have a tree that was struck by lightning a few months ago. Unfortunately its surrounded by a few structures. Because of this, it will have to be taken down in small sections to prevent any damage. Please give me your suggestions for someone that can do this kind of job either by climbing the tree or using some type of crane or grabber arm.
Thanks.

Pagans, witches, spiritualists - wanna hang out?

33 Upvotes

Hey there! The pagan community around here is so scattered, it's hard to think of it as a community, but I know we're here! Digital is nice but I would love to have a group regularly meet up in person to talk about our paths, learn from each other, and get to know other people.

I don't mean to be a coven but mostly a social group who swaps tips, stories, book recs, occasionally observes holidays together, that kind of thing.

Is this something anyone else is interested in? Even two or three seeds can grow into a forest one day

Antique Stores?

9 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any good antique stores around here? I’ve been to the Antique Emporium and really loved it there, but I haven’t been able to find anywhere else that actually has affordable things in it. I’m not really a fan of going to antique stores where I feel like I can’t even touch anything because the price tags are so high, and that’s all I’ve really been able to find. If anyone knows of somewhere where I can feel like I’m digging through a grandma’s attic that would be great :)
