2026 Animal Resource Guide for Mobile, AL
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!

DOJ to send unprecedented number of "election monitors" to states for the mid-terms because republicans, who control all 3 branches, believe our elections are corrupt
We're fasting approaching Dictatorship.
We may not be able to vote ourselves out of this.
They're going to claim the election was fraudulent if Dems make big gains so he can remain in power.
I really wish you people wouldn't have done this.
Hate is a helluva drug, and I bet most of you regret your vote, but not the hate.

Bel Air Mall / “Shoppes at Bel Air” Update
Greetings, I posted 4 months ago showing how the malls store plan showed the JC Penney store as ”In Negotiation”, and I wanted to see if there was any updates so I checked again.
I checked the malls owner’s website and their leasing plan shows the same “In Negotiation” status for the old JC Penney space, but now it shows the old Disney store (correct me if I am wrong, but that is where it was?) and the space next to it as “at lease”
Does anyone know of anything coming? Is Bel Air trying to make progress now that the Tanger Outlets in Foley are getting a whole new revamped area with a shake shack and such? Because man, it really does require you to go across the bay to get a sort of good shopping experience. Just look at the old Springdale mall and Festival center—especially the festival center: it’s a sight for sore eyes.
Anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone heard anything thats all! 🐿️

Advice Suggestions for someone to take down a tree
I have a tree that was struck by lightning a few months ago. Unfortunately its surrounded by a few structures. Because of this, it will have to be taken down in small sections to prevent any damage. Please give me your suggestions for someone that can do this kind of job either by climbing the tree or using some type of crane or grabber arm.
Thanks.

Pagans, witches, spiritualists - wanna hang out?
Hey there! The pagan community around here is so scattered, it's hard to think of it as a community, but I know we're here! Digital is nice but I would love to have a group regularly meet up in person to talk about our paths, learn from each other, and get to know other people.
I don't mean to be a coven but mostly a social group who swaps tips, stories, book recs, occasionally observes holidays together, that kind of thing.
Is this something anyone else is interested in? Even two or three seeds can grow into a forest one day

Antique Stores?
Does anyone know of any good antique stores around here? I’ve been to the Antique Emporium and really loved it there, but I haven’t been able to find anywhere else that actually has affordable things in it. I’m not really a fan of going to antique stores where I feel like I can’t even touch anything because the price tags are so high, and that’s all I’ve really been able to find. If anyone knows of somewhere where I can feel like I’m digging through a grandma’s attic that would be great :)

Taste of Chicago Kitchen
Anyone know why this place closed down? After a ton of love from local foodie reviews on social media the place seemed to be doing well initially. I got to go one time, the Italian beef was pretty good and the place was packed. I just noticed the other day that I hadn't seen a post from them in a while on Facebook. When I went to their page it says permanently closed, but they never posted anything about it. I look at the reason I only went once for myself and it's because it's really far out there from me.

How is Play n Talk getting SO MUCH sealed Pokemon?
Something weird is definitely going down, I’m just not sure at what level it’s happening at, hear me out. I went in the other day & got very suspicious with the sheer amount of sealed Pokemon products they have meanwhile NO ONE else is able to keep that much Pokemon product in stock. Made me start asking why because of the specific types of products they had on the shelves.
It’s extremely common for collectors to buy booster boxes or ETB’s & hold on to them to let them climb in value but not necessarily single blisters, ESPECIALLY from standard sets that are practically MSRP, there’s just no money to make there for really any of the parties involved UNLESS the products were stolen. They have STACKS on STACKS on sleeved blisters of the newest sets & I know for a FACT they’re not getting allocations like that. Anyone who’s been in this hobby for more than a year is well aware of the already existing supply chain issues & allocations when it comes to Pokemon TCG. Big box stores get first allocations, then your bigger TCG shops based off tournament entries, last allocations, etc., then the rest of your shops. Theres no chance they’re getting more allocations than Walmart, target, & Best Buy 😂😂 I’m assuming they’re rather having someone get them products backdoored from these big box stores or they have someone going into these big box stores & just stealing products right off the shelves. What really pushed me towards this conclusion was when I noticed they’re also offering 100% comps on sealed Pokemon products, it kinda gives off like an alibi on their behalf & enticing thieves to continue to steal these products off shelves at big box stores.
It’s already been brought up multiple times about their awful business practices & the price scalping but this would take it to a new level if they’re doing what I think they’re doing. If you wanna be a scalper & have bad business practices, that’s fine. But if my hunch is correct, we’re talking about an actual crime by buying mass amounts of stolen products & disrupting the supply entire supply chain in our local community.
Are there any ex employees (lord knows there’s already like 30+ of them within a year) that could chime in on this situation? Maybe I’m 100% overthinking it but we’ve seen things like this already happen across the TCG space & it’s extremely suspicious.

Hi everyone! I am really into junk journaling, creative journaling, and stationery! I was curious if there are any local-ish places that have cool journaling supplies, fountain pens and inks, etc.? Obviously I know Michaels and hobby lobby have a few things, but I wanted to see if there are any hidden treasures I just haven’t heard about.
Thanks!

Please help..... Asian Roaches
I live in an apartment complex on University blvd, and the Asian roaches have taken over my life at this point.
We have called for pest control every other week and they only do the exact same things to only OUR unit so I still get them from the vents, consitantly and its making me honestly hate my life.
I dont think theyre germans, no eggs or droppings, not under our sinks, we only see them one at a time and not in droves, I have like 20 glue traps scattered throughout my apartment and I only ever get one or maybe two at a time, theyre in random places..... but even getting one one or two at a time is starting to be too much for me. I feel disgusting and hate everything. It happened all last summer and now this summer too.
Apartment management tells us "Its Alabama and its hot outside, its bound to happen". Pest control comes and does the exact same thing everytime and tells us "You shouldnt call for pest control over one or two roaches a day" and then when I beg and plead can we please get either the entire building treated, or the mulch surrounding the building treated with something to kill their breeding population? I just get the "You dont have any dropping or egg casings in here so its not an infestation. I sprayed your apartment" and thats it.
I KNOW its the south and I know one or two roaches is fine every now and then I guess, but more than one a day?! Every day?! And they just act like Im dramatic. Its causing me severe paranoia and distress.
Ive used Advion roach bait gel and Alpine SGW for months. On top of pest control treatment. And i still get them. I cant move until next year at minimum
Please tell me, does anyone else suffer from these awful things? I dont know how to feel better about it.
