Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) Animal Shelter & Adoption Center places thousands of animals into loving homes every year. Founded in 1972, CAP has been a part of the Greater Houston Community for over forty years and takes in cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, small mammals, birds, and small reptiles. Our dedicated corps of volunteers helps in a wide variety of areas: introducing pets to potential adopters, walking dogs, cleaning cat kennels, doing laundry and dishes, in our low-cost vaccination clinic, assisting in our surgery clinic, helping clients in our Pet Supply Store and Thrift Store, and with education and outreach events at and outside of the shelter.
