Bring your friends, show up early, and let’s make it a day to remember.

We’re excited to share a meaningful update from the Alpha Brownsville Foster Committee! One of our students, Raegan, has taken on a leadership role in our mission to support animals in need. After thoughtful conversations at home, Raegan and her family have generously offered to foster Tuna and her four newborn kittens for the next five weeks 🏡🐱🐾

We want to acknowledge that finding foster homes and rescue placements in the RGV is incredibly challenging. With the high number of strays and rescues often at capacity, the process of securing long-term placement takes time, patience, and persistence ⏳💛

Thanks to Raegan’s family, we now have a window of opportunity to continue fundraising for veterinary care, plan for Tuna’s spay appointment, and connect with a rescue organization that can transport the kittens to permanent homes.

If your family may be interested in adopting one of the kittens once they are weaned at 8 weeks, please let us know—we’d love to keep them in the Alpha family if possible! 🐾🏠💕

We are so proud of our students for leading with compassion, responsibility, and heart 🌟

Raegan’s act of service reflects the mission of our Foster Committee—giving animals a second chance and showing us all what it means to step up when it matters most 🐶🐱❤️
