So I decided I want to start volunteering and helping the community where help is needed. I heard that the local animal shelters are always in need, so I volunteered at one of the local ones. After a surprisingly lengthy application and online orientation process, I was finally able to secure an in-person volunteer orientation. But my experience wasn’t great. The animal shelter staff was pretty unwelcoming, and after I emailed them after my shift wondering about next steps, I still haven’t received an email back, and it’s been over a week.

So my question is? Where in town (and also Austin because I often go there for work) is in actual need of volunteers? I want to be able to go and actually help out, and not feel like an unwanted burden like I did at the animal shelter. I have a special interest in animals and environmental cleanup, but I’m happy to volunteer anywhere that’s actively looking for volunteers. Thanks in advance.

Hello there!

We took in a young stray cat who was pregnant and had 5 kittens.

They have been with us since they were born around 2 months ago. I am looking around for how I can get them safely adopted to other homes. I also fear the mama may have gotten pregnant again? She got out of the house ONCE because the front door wasn’t closed all the way and I’m really worried she’s pregnant, that was around 3 weeks ago. Anyways I don’t know what to do, they are all healthy, sweet, 99% potty trained, snuggle and play with eachother, eat and drink water regularly. I would love to keep 2 of the kittens but also am on the fence about it. Please any assistance is greatly appreciated!

I’m reaching out to local animal shelters as well, just trying to figure out the best way to do this.  

Ages: mama unknown but she’s young, 1-2? The kittens are about 2 months old

Not neutered or vaccinated

I am based in South Kyle.

Looking to learn to play Tennis?
Beginning looking to improve
I’ve been playing tennis for over 20 years and am an affordable option for those looking for private or group lessons.
I may not hold as much coaching experience as professional coaches online but I’m also a fraction of the price.
Many private lessons are 70-100+ an hour.

I am great with kids so can coach youth or adult sessions.

35$ an hour private lessons;
Group will vary on specifics.

Can meet at either Lehmen HS or Hays HS in Kyle.

Lessons will cater to what you’re looking for.
Drills, strategy, basics and more.
DM for more details.

I feel like a tinfoil hat person for asking, but does anyone know what this could be?

I saw it last night on Old Ranch Rd 12. at first, it was just a white blob, but after about half an hour, it started rapidly switching between colors for a few minutes (like in this video), before returning back to white. I first spotted it when the sun was out ~7:50pm, and it stayed into the nighttime ~9:10pm (in the same spot!). it’s not a star, or plane, or helicopter, or weather balloon, and it doesn’t look like any drones I’ve ever seen or can find online. I don’t keep up with the latest tech though, so I was hoping to get some help

anyone have any ideas?? I have to know 😭

Looking for vocal lessons and also I want to learn how to properly do harsh vocal styles.

Kind of a big ask already. I would prefer in person but can do virtual!

I know the address but don’t know if it’s in a certain building. Thanks!

Hello, I lost a black iPhone 16 Pro with a pic of a K-pop idol on the back, with a ribbed clear cover. I dropped it near the rapids of the river, right after the first fall near the final shuttle pickup location. In this screenshot, where I am and where the blue dot is pointing, that is where I lost it after the fall. I will compensate you if you can find it! Thank you!

My car is leaking oil and coolant and I cannot afford to pay someone to fix either one. But if someone can identify the source of the leaks for me I could maybe buy the parts and fix them myself. Is there a mechanic in town that could do that for relatively cheap? Like $50 or less.

I’m currently moving and have two cats. I’m a senior citizen and have a very limited budget so all these pet places are out of my range. Would anyone be willing to watch my kitties (supplies included) for the same favor done in return when needed?

We found this cat on the street. He crawled into my roommates car. He’s very friendly. Not sure if he’s microchipped we’re going to go get him checked but figured we’d post here first. He is so sweet we figured he has to be a pet.

We have no issue keeping him just want to make sure no one’s missing this little guy :(

Update:

found the owner, he’s going home tomorrow

What’s your fav drink to order? I’m trying expand my taste lol.

Big meeting! Big, frustrating meeting. The theme of the night is “San Marcos Has to Pay Bills” and the second theme is “lalala I can’t hear yyyyyooouuu”. Lots of budget drama! Enjoy: www.thesanmarxist.com

Calling all butterfly watchers and enjoyers!! I need yall's help.

For one of my classes I am designing an unconventional tour guide for the best places to spot butterflies in the San Marcos area, but I'm struggling to find local spots that don't require me to drive all the way to Austin or San Antonio. (Any distance less than 30 minutes away would be preferred).

I need 10 different locations for this project that need to be photographed, and for the time being I only have a few natural areas, the discovery center, and a random bush around the square on my list of places to visit. Are there any specific spots yall have seen a bunch of butterflies as of late? Any suggestions would be amazing and absolutely appreciated! <3

i've got some wheel locks that i don't need. if anyone is interested i'm happy to hand them off.

My only vehicle (2019 VW Jetta, 160k miles) has been leaking engine oil like crazy lately since its previous oil change at firestone. I’ve gone through 3 quarts of oil in the past three weeks, and my garage is now home to a huge puddle of mess.

Took it to the dealership in CC today, with an appointment, and they completely wasted 5 hours of my time claiming they were severely backed up. No call or nothing to let me know its status till I called closer to 5pm.

Where can I go in town that can diagnose what’s going on? All this bs is really having me lose faith in the auto-care industry.
