Monthly Report on License Agreement 2025-04 April This report is in agreement with the terms outlined in Section 8.4 of the License Agreement between the City of Austin and Austin Pets Alive! with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis County through our partnership with Austin Animal Center. Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) is consistently the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving. Our mission is to keep Austin No Kill by taking in the animals that have medical and behavioral concerns that the city cannot care for or treat. Since 2011, due to our partnership with Austin Animal Center to take the animals at risk of euthanasia, our city has been the largest No Kill city in the US. APA! Intakes transferred from AAC: In April 2025, 146 animals (per APA! audited records) were transferred from AAC to APA! for lifesaving care and placement. 103 of these (70%) were medically urgent transfers at immediate risk of euthanasia or death. 92 animals were born in APA!’s care to pregnant animals sent from AAC. Additionally, APA! took in 7 pets directly from owners within Travis county through the PASS program that should have otherwise entered AAC. This makes for 99 intakes diverted from AAC in April.
