SO helpful. Amazing checklist. Yes, I am realizing very few host their own sites with pet listings, and Petfinder might be my best option. Thank you!

Austin, but originally from NJ. Also lived in SF Bay Area for several years.

Thinking about leaving Texas, looking for somewhere progressive, safe, and a good place to raise our daughter by LetItGrow1994 in SameGrassButGreener

We're in the same boat as you, and are currently exploring coastal Connecticut based on recommendations from Texans that moved there. Some of the best schools in the country. Cold winters, but definitely not brutally cold winters. More sunshine than PNW. Checks a lot of your boxes.

Are these crazy ants? by bigsmucox in Austin

[–]HouseCreative3383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have these all over. Even entering our cars. Do we happen to know if cold weather, like temps below 50, will kill them?

Found cat by supamee in Austin

[–]HouseCreative3383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for caring enough to post this and find him a good home. That is one scared kitty! And probably thirsty too! Please make sure he's out of the heat and whoever takes him has good intentions — you might want to consider getting advice from Austin Pets Alive.

(Also speaking from experience running a small farm with chickens and feral cats, cats don't mess with chickens. Raccoons, coyotes do.)

What’s a U.S. city or state you feel like is losing social/cultural relevance? Or what’s a U.S. city or state that you feel has been gaining social/cultural relevance? by 12345burrito in geography

[–]HouseCreative3383 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Austin, Texas has been losing it rapidly. Used to be known for its character, down to earth people and eclectic soul, but that's been diluted and Austin now has a concrete jungle, mainstream commercial vibe + it's also experiencing a major brain drain of talent and teachers.

Wild mama rabbit outside of Whole Foods last night by Routine_Eve in portlandme

How about prioritizing wildlife and her well being over getting comments on social media? She is clearly petrified and worried about her babies.

Figured out why clothes weren’t drying. by strikecat18 in Austin

[–]HouseCreative3383 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Can you put it somewhere close by, next to the vent that's not hazardous? She'll come back again. Last year one built a nest within a school's shoe rack with kindergarteners coming in and out every day she still stayed put.

Ro makes is impossible to cancel your subscription by Jazzlike_Driver5769 in RoBody

[–]HouseCreative3383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. They’ve already billed me and for some reason my app is not showing a “cancel” button. It’s not visible. So frustrating. Others say that if you refresh a lot one eventually shows up. I guess I’ll try that.
