Queso is looking for a cheese lover who likes their cats large and in charge!

This massive hunk of a boy was pulled from Midland Animal Shelter as an injury case. He had a severely broken back leg that required amputation as it was causing him a lot of pain. He also was terribly overweight which added to the leg issues. Despite being in a lot of pain, Sir. Queso is 100% love and affection at all times!

Queso demands humans pay attention to him and will be in your face or lap purring up a storm wanting cuddles. He would love nothing more to finally have his own human to sleep in bed with and provide them his warmth all night.

He is cat friendly but has not been introduced to dogs. He does only have 3 legs but that doesn't stop him from getting around. While he has been on a diet in his foster home he still needs to loose a little more weight so his mobility improves.

Queso is fully vetted which includes vaccinated, neutered, microchipped. He is negative for FIV/FELV and fully litterbox trained. Due to his Chonk of boy size he will require a large, lower entry litterbox.

For more information on this big hunk of loves please email us at [email protected] or send us a facebook message!

💔 update this sweet baby did not survive and has passed from her injuries.

Thank you to all who donated to her vet bill.

Emergency Help Needed for an Injured Kitten

A tiny kitten was struck by a car and is now fighting for its life. One of our fosters was sent a photo about an injured kitten from a friend and they rushed to pick it up and get it to our amazing vets before they closed for the day.

The kitten has suffered head trauma and is currently hospitalized. Every minute counts, and our team is doing everything we can to give this little one a chance to survive.

Emergency care, diagnostics, medications, and hospitalization come at a significant cost, and we can't do it alone.

🙏 We're asking for your help. Every donation—no matter the amount—goes directly toward this kitten's medical care. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this post so it reaches someone who can.

Together, we can give this sweet baby the fighting chance they deserve.

Hello Facebook friends!

My name is Noel! I have been in foster care with PBAA for a few months now! I was found heavily pregnant out in the county trying to survive for myself and my belly full of babies in a feral colony.

As luck would have it, I wandered over to this super nice lady's house and birthed my kittens outside near her yard. She came outside took one look at me gasped and said no ma'am come inside and scooped me and my kittens up!

She agreed to foster so the rescue offered to get us all vetted and up for adoption and they even TNRed all my spicy friends outside!

Now that my babies are a bit bigger, we are all healthy and I have been fully vetted it is time to put my old life behind me and find a new beginning! I have been spayed, snap tested negative, fully vaccinated and microchipped!

I can be a little shy at first but once I settle in and feel safe, I am a super sweet girl. I have done my momma duty so now it's time to focus on me! The rescue estimates me to be between 1-2 years of age.

If you are interested in adding beautiful Noel to your family, please fill out our adoption application!

We do have a $100 adoption fee which helps us offset the cost of their care and vetting while under our care.

798 days.......27 months.....that is over 2 years...

That's the amount of time this beautiful orange girl has been in foster care.

Once again meet miss Nala!

She has been a long term foster in our program as you can see. Nala came to us as a teeny tiny kitten with a broken pelvis that was found in Odessa dragging her back end around just trying to survive. While over the last two years nala has been in a wonderful foster home this girl deserves a home of her very own!

She is super sweet, very outgoing, playful, curious and well she's orange! She caught the braincell and is not afraid to use it!

Now we know those who are seeing this probably don't remember Nala and her story and are wonder why she has been in foster for two years, we will explain.

Nala is healthy, but Nala has one little quirk people shy away from. Heck even attempts to find a special needs rescue or sanctuary for her have resulted in no's after hundreds of emails.

As a result of Nala's injury as a kitten and her pelvic break and the amount of time she spent dragging before being rescued has caused some odd healing internally. Nala has a little pocket if you will, in her colon. Don't ask us how or why, she has seen multiple vets, specialists and literally no one can give us answers as. We have trialed dozens of treatments, meds, foods you name it this girl has had it.

What this little pocket of fun does is smuggles a teeny tiny piece of p**p and will release it at random. P**p literally the size of a piece of cat food will fall out and she does not even know it happens. So yeah... nala will leave you a little "di**le Berry" as a surprise present. She uses the litterbox like a champ, has full sphincter control but when this pocket fills it empties on its own. Now this is not an all day always thing. The nuggets are maybe once or twice a week if that! If you have a fluffy butted pet and they get clingers that is the best way to describe her situation and how honestly not bad it is. But we believe in full bridled truths over here and put it all out there even when its weird.

Now here is the thing. After many many attempts at finding a food that controls the nuggets we have found one that stops the drops! Can we say AMEN! Fresh pet cat food is what she is currently eating and has had zero issues! As Nala has aged in her foster home it appears as though the colon is healing and the pocket is shrinking but... this might be an issue she has for life only time will tell.

Nala is available and searching for her perfect home. A home that understands she has a weird thing, but who will love her as she is and provide her all the fresh pet food her tummy can handle.

If you have any questions on Nala or want to finally make her dreams come true and adopt her please send us a message!

If you have followed PBAA for a while this little face might seem familiar, and it is!

This adorably different looking boy is named Blink! Bear with us to read his story below as it's a long one!

Blink came to PBAA back in July of 2023 as a medical pull from Midland Animal Services. He was roughly 5 weeks old and in terrible shape. He was skin and bones, had a terrible upper respiratory infection, and his eyes were severely infected. The shelter reached out to us and we knew he needed immediate care!

Blink went to his foster home with one of our board members Danielle, who takes most of our high need medical cats as well as bottle babies. He was very touch and go at first and needed a lot of care to get past his illness. Over time he got better and turned into a playful and spunky kitten! While we treated his eyes the damage had already been done and it has affected his vision. He is partial blind and only has vision in his "good" eye. The smaller white eye we opted to leave alone as it has not ever caused him any issues. He was introduced to other foster kittens which is when he began to thrive! Blink is what we call a cats cat! He needs feline friends and adores having a buddy in his life.

Over the first 6 months Blink did great and was finally of age and healthy enough to be neutered and ready for adoption!

We had multiple applications come in for him. We spent days sorting and finally landed on a great family. We set up a meet and greet and everyone fell in love or so we thought. Updates were all positive, they loved him and he was doing amazing. Roughly 8 months later we receive a text that he had begun having issues and they wanted to return him. The family moved and the stress of moving Blink began to urinate out of the litterbox and was acting aggressively. They were not willing to seek vet care and decided to surrender him back to the rescue.

Danielle loaded up a carrier and met them to retrieve Blink so he was back under her care. While back with his foster he was isolated so we could monitor behavior as well as health. At the vet it was discovered he has a mild UTI which was treated. We did not have any of the issues described upon his return. Blink was social happy and had not one ounce of aggression with people or other animals. Once he was cleared medically, we placed him up for adoption a second time. A year passed and we finally got a few applications for him! We had 3 come in over a 24 hour period to our surprise after such a long time. We spoke to each potential family and chose one who had another kitty friend! They were briefed on his past and decided he was exactly what they wanted. They belived in rescue and a second chances. The meet and greet went great and Blink had found his new family! Once again updates were postive, he was doing well.

One year later, Blink is back with PBAA and Danielle for a 3rd time. We were told the urinating, and aggression had returned and that he was no longer a fit for their family. They also opted not to seek vet care and surrender.

Blink has been back with Danielle almost 3 weeks now and has been seen by our vet. There was no trace of a UTI but it was discovered he has what is called a stress bladder and is now considered a FIC boy ( Feline Idiopathic Cystitis). This is a painful and inflamed bladder often brought about in stressed cats. Management of this condition consists of a prescription urinary diet, increased water intake and stress management. Since being back with his foster he has displayed none of issues described once again. He uses the litterbox perfectly, is sweet and attention seeking with other felines but he is more timid of us humans. He is settling back in while we work on getting him happy and healthy again. He is back with his two cat friends having cuddles and head boops.

It breaks our heart this sweet boy has been failed twice now and has yet to find a family who understands pets will need future vet care when illness happens. When you promptly treat illness the pets have a better long term outlook and you nip things in the butt before it becomes a larger issue like we now have.

We will be placing Blink back up for adoption for a 3rd time and praying that we can finally find him a forever family who will love and care for him as he deserves. He is an incredible boy who deserves the world and we know his person is out there who will be understanding of all this boy has been through.

If you have made it this far and are interested in Blink or have any questions, please send us a message!

Take a good look at this picture. How many kittens do you see? This isn’t cute. It’s an example of the cat crisis going on right here in Midland and all over the Permian Basin. These kittens won’t affect shelter numbers because unfortunately they’ll never make it there. The majority of these kittens won’t reach a year old. These kittens will die from parasites, upper respiratory infections/infectious diseases, vehicle strikes, predators, ingestion of toxic chemicals, extreme temperatures to name a few. This is happening in YOUR town. Help us prevent future litters and get to the root of our cat overpopulation crisis. If you’d like to get involved but don’t know where to start, email [email protected] for more info. We would also love to be able to continue helping people with the costs involved with trap/neuter/return so any donation amount helps!

Feeding outdoor cats? This is a great opportunity to get them spayed/neutered and vaccinated. We are helping cover the costs of surgery on the 16th and we still have traps available to loan out! Please email us ASAP at [email protected] for any questions! We are here to help!

Get ready for our Community Cat Day on July 16th! 🐾

All cats must be brought in feral cat traps. If you need help trapping or need to borrow a trap, please email [email protected]

Our feral cat package is $100, but financial assistance will be available on July 16th for those who need it. Please email [email protected] if you are in need of assistance.

Midland City residents, please do not schedule for July 16th. Instead, schedule for July 17th and get your City of Midland vouchers to help cover the cost of surgery. Transport from Midland to Big Spring available. Please read the July 17th info on the pinned post on our page.

We know you may not know exactly which cat you are going to catch, and that is okay! When making an appointment, use your best guess for the animal’s information. It does not need to be perfect. If you are unsure, put the cat in as female and use the street where they were found as their name. We will verify everything at check-in on July 16th and make changes as needed.

A deposit is required when booking, but we understand community cats do not always cooperate. Our goal is not to penalize you. If you are unable to trap your cat, we can credit your deposit to another appointment or issue a refund.

Walk-ins will be accepted, but registration is strongly recommended to secure your spot! Walk-ins limited to 5 spots per person as long as we have room.
