Item 2: APA! License Agreements — original pdf
Backup
Monthly Report on License Agreement May 2026 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 Services. Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) remains the City of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving, specializing in animals with medical and behavioral needs beyond the municipal shelter’s capacity. Since 2011, this partnership with Austin Animal Services (AAS) has helped sustain Austin as the largest No Kill city in the United States. APA! Intakes Transferred from AAS: In May 2026, 395 animals were transferred directly from AAS, with 16 of them being behavior pulls (Chicharron, Marvin Karma, Pop, Tuna, Munch, Loki, Filo, Bourdain, Hana Bear, Casius, Kumaji, Cantaloupe, Nanna, Snorkel, and Trapper). Additionally, 110 additional animals were diverted from entering AAS through APA!’s PASS program and direct community intake. These combined efforts reduced strain on the City’s municipal shelter while ensuring vulnerable animals received timely intervention.

Transfers from AAS as % of Annual Goal APA! must: (a) Select a sufficient number of animals from the At-Risk List so that at the end of each year of the Term, APA! will have selected from the At-Risk List 12% of the total number of animals taken in by AAS during the preceding year. AAS Dog & Cat Intake Total in FY26: 1,459 Animals APA! Transfer Requirement for FY26: 1,360 Animals As of the end of May 2026, APA! has taken 107% of the total animal number required for the fiscal year. This total puts us beyond our annual goal.
