2026 Animal Resource Guide for Mobile, AL

Post image
27 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!

Mississippi is leaving Alabama to wallow in last place

98 Upvotes

MS has been making me proud. The investments they've made in the educational system has them now ranked 29th in the nation. They usually hovered with us around last place.

They have a lottery, and there's talk they'll be legalizing cannabis soon.

I may move.

No one heckled trump at the Mitchell Center when he came to Mobile. I was disappointed in y'all.

But MS let him have it with this beauty.

Do better Alabama.

I was busy outside the venue protesting thinking you people had it covered inside.

Re: Who is responsible? Mobile council seek answers as FBI investates $14.7 loss

31 Upvotes

This is a throw away account, I am not sure how many questions can be answered or if I’ll be able to respond at all.

On 10/20/2026 the mayor sent out an email to all city employees that stated "We are cooperating fully with the investigators and taking every available step to recover the funds and bring the responsible party to justice." However they have yet to punish the internal negligent party responsible for approving the initiation of these transfers.

As of today they have fired one lower level employee and suspended two more, while I don’t have the full range of information on why they were fired and suspended I do fully believe they are being used as scapegoats for the Executed Director that actually made the call to initiate the transfer of funds. The three lower level employees were simply the people that moved the money under orders.

For those of you wondering where the money that got taken from the city came from, it is the Real Estate Asset Management Department. The individual in charge of the department that gave the orders to transfer the money is Carleen Stout-Clark. If you were curious about the timeline, this occurred a few weeks ago and they stalled the release of information.

For those that are curious as to if she is facing any disciplinary action for this, the answer is no. She is being allowed to get away with this negligence, like she has time and time again. Whether it was an accident or not, she needs to be held accountable for her actions. Unfortunately, this will not happen due to her wealth and status. She gained her position through her relationships with the higher-ups in the city. She forced the resignation of two previous directors of Real Estate Asset Management and the Architectural Engineering Department so that she can gain the total control she wants.

She has also been slowly firing and forcing resignations of several Architects and Project Managers in the Architectural Engineering Department and instead of hiring new project managers, she has hired Volkert to bring in 2 of their project managers for a total cost of ~$33,000.00 a month. 

So, if you're wondering where all your tax dollars are going, that's it. It is going to the destruction of the careers of civil servants. Soon your public facilities will fall into disrepair because she allowed the transfer of 15 million and is consistently paying an outside organization to 33K a month, among many other issues.

To the trolls that have systematically started downvoting my post - get a life you triggered snowflakes.
I’m glad I can keep you fascist Nazi losers entertained, but you will be paying for it.
That I promise.
And more than likely it’s law enforcement - same ones that dump trash in my yard daily.
What a pathetic existence. But it’s about to get a lot worse I promise you.

Advice Going into a trade

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m(f22) currently going to Bishop State for Computer Systems(first time college student) and I wanna go back for a trade. I graduate in Fall 2027 so 2 more semesters. I wanna go back for a trade but I’m unable to decide on which. Considering my bad left foot(flat/plantar) I want to have a good chance at physical work that makes me happier than the AI takeover and over saturated market that I’m gonna have to deal with trying to get a job as a programmer or help desk.

I’ve been thinking electrical then aviation then process maintenance etc etc. How should I go about deciding? If this helps I don’t plan on moving and if I do it’s not very far or out of state but I want something that will bring me happiness and I know that depends on where I go but I also know trades get repetitive and monotonous etc.

Any advice,tips or encouragement would help!

Foosakly’s changed their pricing but are keeping the old price up. It’s been this way for 2 weeks. Check your receipts. I told them this is Illegal and they said “I don’t know about illegal but we couldn’t get the new file uploaded.”

Wanted to report it to the AG but the form was a hassle to work with.

EDIT: I have blasphemed the sacred cow. Mods, can I get a flair that says Iconoclast?
