Citizens for Animal Protection has unveiled a striking new sign outside the animal shelter’s location at 17555 Katy Freeway near Barker Cypress in Houston. Visible from I-10 West near Katy, the new sign stands fifteen feet taller than its predecessor, catching the eyes of motorists traveling east and westbound on the freeway.
“[The sign] will inspire countless future pet parents to adopt and give animals a second chance at life,” said a spokesperson for CAP.
One Houston couple's generous donation will provide future pet parents with a “sign to adopt” from Citizens for Animal Protection. The big, red, blue and black sign depicting CAP’s round logo was donated by the Schwartz family, in memory of their precious cats, Sassy and Punkin.
But this isn't a one-off donation.
The Schwartzes' ties to CAP run deep. They're part of the CAP Codicil Club, whose members have committed to a legacy donation to CAP, and they were honored in November as recipients of the Melcher Humanitarian of the Year award at the shelter's annual Celebrity Paws Gala. They have also enhanced the CAP Cornelius Clinic’s ability to provide vital care that may be needed by donating radiograph and ultrasound equipment.
“We're thrilled to unveil our new sign, which is not just taller and more colorful – it's a symbol of our growing impact in the community," said Executive Director Sandi Mercado in a statement. "It is more than just an upgrade – it will be a lifeline for the animals in our care."
The sign's increased visibility means more potential adoptions, volunteers, fosters and supporters for the nonprofit animal shelter. Its LED screen allows the shelter to spotlight hours of operation, adoption events, and monthly specials at the CAP Cornelius Clinic, and highlight animals who are looking for their forever family.
