Houston SPCA is known for its dozens of cats, dogs and other household animals it rehabilitates and puts up for adoption.

But what about those other four-legged creatures it encounters? Houston's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals also helps rehab those animals – sometimes exotic – back to health. The society has been operating in Houston since 1924, and they’ve sure encountered some oddball and non-native animals along the way.

For anyone interested in adopting from HSPCA, visit their website.

See the gallery above for some of the oddest animals workers have encountered over the years.
