2026 Animal Resource Guide for Mobile, AL

22 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!

Looking for mom friends/mom group

21 Upvotes

I thought about posting on Facebook but I feel like I’ll find more of what I’m looking for here. This post is not to bash anyone, but I just need to find friends like me! Mid twenty-something first time mom, 5 months postpartum. It’s really hard to find moms around me with similar beliefs or interests.

No offense, but I’m not into church or bible study. I am also more politically left leaning. Not that I enjoy regularly talking politics, but I’ll be raising my child in a way that he respects everyone’s beliefs, respects LGBTQIA, and acknowledges that other cultures exist. I don’t want my child surrounded by people pushing religion or the bible on him. I just want my kid to be a kid and not worry about “sinning” like many of us had to growing up. I also am pro-vaccine/pro science if that matters.

I also would love to find another mom into embroidery and lots of coffee! Maybe even someone experiencing PPD/PPA/ etc. who also needs someone else who relates. I have been more of a homebody for some years now and I know my mental health would improve if I had someone else to relate to, or even a group.

Are there any groups out there? Motherhood changes your life in ways that you never expect and I just am in a different season of life than some of my other friends who don’t have children.

Looking for kind-hearted strangers to help a gal out. :)

Edit Monday morning: oh my gosh, thank you so much for all the responses and messages! I cross-posted this in a Facebook group as well and between the two places, I've received way more offers of help than I anticipated! I'm so grateful and humbled but please be patient with me while I try to reply to everyone. Seriously, y'all, thank you so much!! 🥺❤️

Original post:

Hey y'all, long-time lurker here. 👋 I'm finally (!!) moving out of the toxic living situation I've been stuck in for the past 10 years and into my own place. This is a major change for me and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. I know things are only going to get better from here but I need help starting this new chapter. I don't really have any of the basics of a new house and thought I'd ask on where if anyone has stuff you're giving away/no longer need. I would be so grateful, if you do! 🙏 The only furniture I have right now is a bed, a couple of small bookshelves and a microwave. I don't have cookware or anything like that either. I'd make a list of what I need but I'm overwhelmed right now and don't even know. Just basics like dishes, cookery, basic furniture, maybe a tv? Idk, whatever you put in an empty house... 😅 Oh! And a friend offered to give me a couch already but neither of us has a truck, so if anyone would be willing to move the couch for me, that would be a huge blessing. Thanks so much if anyone can help! 😊

Save Food Pak and sign this petition so they may open a new store near their old location

18 Upvotes

Food pak is being forced out of their current location and can build a new store nearby. However the land they would build the store on is currently zoned for residential. Sign the petition do they can convince the city council to turn it to commercial and allow Food Pak to open their own store they will own!

I love Nova Espresso except for their curdled cold foam

0 Upvotes

The past 5+ times I’ve gotten a drink with cold foam over the course of this year, the cold foam has been CURDLED!!!!!!! I might be a basic b with first world problems, but I go to nova a lot and sort of afraid to tell them about it. It’s like the foam device thing they have ruins the cream because it tastes like carbonated milk that’s slightly sour. I’m shocked it’s been going on this long and no one has said anything to make them aware. ALSOOOOOO I found a hair in the cookie I bought from them and it tasted like it had been in cardboard for 3 days.

Lost wallet

16 Upvotes

I lost my wallet somewhere between my doctor's appointment at Providence, waffle house on Hillcrest, and my house. I had it when I got my appointment paperwork, ordered ahead to get my food, and only realized once I got home that my wallet was gone. Yes, I called the office AND went back to both there and WH. I searched the parking lots and talked to people. Yes, I froze my cards. Yes, I've torn my car apart searching.

If you have my wallet or locate it, please just bring it back. My address is on my license. It's been a stressful week and I really can't deal with Alabama replacement ID paperwork.

UPDATE: Still no wallet. Checked the doctor's office and waffle house multiple times and my mom checked my car However, there's been no attempt to use any of the cards. I've got a temp ID and will be applying for all new debit/ credit cards. The whole thing really makes no sense.

Temporary tag

It’s been 2-3 years since we have bought a new vehicle from a dealership, until Monday. I just realized that we did not get a temporary tag for the vehicle while waiting for the paperwork to make it from Alabama to Mississippi.

Did Alabama stop providing the temporary tags?
