Thank you to all donors who helped with this spay/neuter campaign in October, 2018! KPOH was honored when a volunteer from NY flew down to assist Meow with this huge project. They worked feverishly with the great volunteer staff at the Critter Shack in San Angelo, TX and set a record that day of spaying and neutering 29 kitties and 7 dogs! 8 kitties were lucky to be immediately taken into adoption programs. Future appointments are set for the remaining. Great team work everyone!
The Meow Matriarch is seen here providing a Pet Specific Oxygen Mask demonstration to one of the local Fire/EMS stations in San Antonio, TX. KPOH.org expects to equip 675 residential homes with Emergency Responder Pet Inside Alert Placards & Firefighter/EMS stations with 45 pet specific oxygen masks & kits by the end of 2018!
Animals are affected more quickly than humans due to their smaller size and fear which makes them hide. Pet oxygen kits are vital to save companion animal lives because they fit their snouts and provide comfort to families that have already lost so much in a fire. |
KPOH.org donated and distributed 10 Pet Specific Oxygen Mask Kits (total of 30 oxygen masks) to various Fire/EMS stations throughout San Antonio, TX during the month of July, 2018. July 15th was also National Pet Fire Safety Day. Our little Whiskey loves doing community service and was a big hit with all the First Responders :)

We are are certified and affliated in pet emergency and physically rescue directly from dangerous situations.

KPOH.org would like to continue to make even more of an impact to save pet lives in emergency situations by equipping more Firefighters with desperately needed oxygen masks designed especially for animals. Two little girls in our “Kiddies Helping Kitties” volunteer program tragically lost their home and two of their pets during Christmas this year.

On Super Bowl Sunday 2018, the hit television series, “This is Us” finally revealed how beloved husband and father, Jack Pearson had died as the nation empathetically witnessed how quickly a house fire could change and take lives. For two of our little “Kiddies Helping Kitties” volunteers Ashley and Autumn Ciani, a tragic house fire during Christmas was very hauntingly real. Firefighters and the family tried their best to revive the lifeless bodies of their beloved pets, but it was too late. Each year, fire kills more Americans than all natural disasters combined. Please help the Ciani Family rebuild after a tragic fire claimed the lives of two of their kitties, all of their belongings and home. The children Autumn and Ashley have been volunteers in our "Kiddies Helping Kitties" program for over five years. The news of the fire was featured in the Times News.
WOAI NBC News San Antonio News 4 - Deer culling has been occurring in River Crossing, Spring Branch, TX (comal county). It is an inhumane deer slaughter program put into effect by the River Crossing POA to appease a few residents who hunt, and justify to kill innocent animals, pay higher POA fees as opposed to taking a few effortless steps to deter deer from their property (which was the original natural habitat for deer to begin with) . This has upset MANY compassionate, reasonable residents who appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the deer, and realize that killing is not only ineffective, cruel, but also is extremely distressing in plain view in neighborhoods, upsetting young children and adults alike. These deer are not "starving" and are not overpopulated in this area because it is not landlocked, which means animals including deer can simply travel through the area. Birds are allowed to fly freely, stop, eat, drink and defecate. However, deer are singled out and unjustifiably killed for existing where they have for thousands of years... |
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT - Please click here or on the deer photo to watch the inhumane video Special thanks to the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue (WRR) and Citizens Advocate for Animals (CAFA ) KEYE CBS News Austin who joined forces with KPOH's founder to provide education and humane alternatives for the deer. The River Crossing POA has put a temporary hold on killing the deer until further notice, but our friends with CAFA who captured this video on March 8th, 2018 are presently fighting to bring this to an end. Please be a voice for animals in your community! Violence is NEVER a solution! |

During the devastation of Hurricane Harvey 2017, KPOH.org accommodated 16 extra kitties, including driving to Houston, TX to rescue them. A few of the kitties were returned to Houston once reconstruction was completed but many still remain within our sanctuary.

On September 7th, 2017, this was the Meow Matriarch's eye-view in the Court of Comal County, TX as the best mews in hisstory happened.... Kitties living outdoors are no longer to be handed a death sentence! Meowalleuhiah!

Our little Whiskey placed in the top 30 out of almost 500 entries at "Bark in the Park 2016" hosted by Thomas J. Henry and won 3rd place in Hill Country Animal League's "Muttstrut". Unfortunately, we were too overwhelmed with the extra intake of 16 kitties due to Hurricane Harvey this year in which Whiskey was pretty confident of winning first place! Whiskey even did his best to raise funds for KPOH.or by offering doggie kisses at Random's in Boerne, TX on the July 4th long weekend. It was a tough crowd but Whiskey did his best to impress, and ended up stealing the hearts of a select few... |

KPOH.org was featured in a kick starter campaign "Exploding Kittens" for the state of Tennessee. Everyone had a great time and absolutely no kitties were present nor ever hurt in this event or card game! This game continues to be on Amazon's top ten "wish list" wants!
