I noticed a new shop at Katy Mills Mall today and thoroughly enjoyed it! It is called Houston SPCA Pet Parade. They sell various pet products like leashes, collars, food bowls, and beds. The merchandise is all very stylish and unique looking.
They also have a number of cats and kittens there that are up for adoption. I noticed signs saying that they bring dogs and puppies in for adoption every other Saturday afternoon.
I think a storefront location like this is a wonderful way to publicize the Houston SPCA and its animal adoption programs. We adopted both of our dogs from their organization and couldn't be happier (aside from a little chewing problem, but that happens to the best of dogs.) It was nice to look at some cats and see some of their unique merchandise without traveling into town. I hope this new satellite branch will raise the public's awareness about homeless pets.
