Round Rock, Texas is a wonderful place to live and call home.

However, our population is increasing in ways we would like to control. The unsterilized and free roaming cats in Round Rock are producing unwanted litters of kittens in area neighborhoods.

This video was made in memory of the all the animals lost through a pseudo rescue near Dallas, Texas . Peace and tranquility to the 1000+ Austin and Round Rock cats and dogs still unaccounted for...
The focus of the video is to encourage everyone who may have no other alternative but to give up their animals to thoroughly check out organizations or rescue groups before doing so.
