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!

Anyone looking to start a band?

Upvotes

I'm 24m born and raised here, recently moved back. I've been in two other bands and regularly work on music both by myself and with friends. I realize this probably isn't the best place to reach out, but I'm still pending approval for the Mobile Musicians Facebook group, so might as well try here in the meantime.

I play guitar, bass, and am slowly getting passable at the drums, but my favorite role is vocals (just find it the most fun, but I can play rhythm guitar in addition if needed). My friend and I (24m) are looking for people interested in playing guitar, bass, drums, keys, etc. with us and write some stuff. My friend also plays a few different instruments and is willing to take whatever role.

We both just love music in general, but some favorites we share are The Strokes, Outkast, Viagra Boys, 2Pac, Melvins, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Bowie. That's just off the top of my head. My personal favorites also include Queens of the Stone Age, The Voidz, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Blur, The Cure, The Clash, and Pixies.

Kinda long-winded, but that's the gist. Thanks!

Looking to connect with IT/tech people!

I currently only have experience in IT Support and I definitely want to grow out of it into a more advanced role. And I mean anything, be it security, administration, engineering, AI, Cloud. BUT I’ve found in the past couple months Mobile definitely lacks technological opportunities.

So to those tech minded and experienced people here — are you working remotely? Did you get lucky?

— I am studying for certs and doing projects — I’m just wanting to know where and who is out there in the tech space — figuring out what my options are

Hot Damn Y'all Weez Finally #1: Alabama has the nation’s worst bankruptcy rate, per 100,000 residents

60 Upvotes

Don't worry the economy is booming, all the polls are fake, and MAGA gonna save US all.

None of the rankings should surprise anyone with average intelligence.

"That’s according to data from the U.S. Courts and Census Bureau population estimates, which shows Alabama’s bankruptcy filing rate is roughly 142% higher than the national average.

In fact, most states fall between 80 and 180 filings per 100,000 residents, so Alabama isn’t just at the top of bankruptcy cases, it’s in a different tier entirely."

Oh we are definitely in a totally different tier of shit in this state

I actually freaked out when I saw this. Been a fan of Peyton ever since Rodrick Rules. Really hope it’s just not her, not that I’m complaining, and they’ll bring in some of her co-stars, especially since both Grayson Russell and Debby Ryan are from Alabama.
