❤Remember Eureka???❤

Eureka came to WCAS as a stray in July of this year and was never reclaimed by an owner. She patiently waited for her chance at a forever home for two months, and thankfully, her wait paid off! Her adopters visited our ...facility, met Eureka, and knew she was the one for them. After two months of waiting, Eureka finally got to head home!❤️

❤Remember Lucille???❤

Lucy came to WCAS as a stray in July, along with her litter of kittens, and was never reclaimed by an owner. She spent the next couple of months in a loving foster home raising her kittens until they were old enough to be ...adopted.

Lucy and her kittens returned to WCAS in mid-September, and thankfully, Lucy didn’t have to wait long for her own happy ending. Just a few days after returning and becoming available for adoption, Lucy found her forever home!❤️

Lucy's adopter shared this wonderful update with us!
🐾We adopted Lucy on Monday September 14th and she is fitting in great. She is playful, gentle, and loving. She loves to snuggle with her human sisters, age 3 and 17 months. She is patient with them and seems to understand that they are young.
She likes to people watch out the window. She really likes head scratches. She's the best🐾

🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Tuesday, September 22nd's ...Paw-some Pick is Henry A0061564560!

Henry is a handsome cat who is ready for a fresh start and a family who will give him the time and understanding he deserves.

Henry came to WCAS as an owner surrender following a bite incident in his previous home. His family had only had him for about a week when the incident occurred. The child in the home was attempting to put a collar on Henry, but Henry became frightened and hid underneath a bed. When the child reached underneath the bed to try to put the collar on him, Henry became scared and, feeling cornered, bit and scratched the child on the head, face, and behind the ear.

Henry subsequently completed his required bite quarantine at WCAS. Once his quarantine was finished, our staff spent time working with him and getting to know him outside of the circumstances of the original incident. During that time, Henry was very easy to handle. He allowed staff to pet him all over his body and was comfortable being scruffed and picked up. Our team has not observed any signs of aggression while caring for him and feels that the behavior seen in his previous home was consistent with a frightened cat reacting when he felt cornered.

Henry is now available for adoption and is looking for a family who will give him the opportunity to feel safe and build trust at his own pace. His adopters should understand his history and be mindful of his body language, particularly in situations where he may feel frightened, trapped, or overwhelmed.

If you're willing to give Henry the patience and understanding he deserves, come meet him and talk with our adoption team about whether he's the right fit for your home.🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Jubilee???❤

Jubilee first came to WCAS in November 2022 as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. She was quickly adopted and remained with her adopter for the next two and a half years before being returned to our facility after ...her adopter reported that Jubilee did not get along with a dog that had recently visited their home.

Thankfully, Jubilee didn’t have to wait too long for another opportunity. Just a little over a month after returning to WCAS, Jubilee was adopted again and found another loving home!❤️

Jubilee's adopter shared this wonderful update with us!
🐾Pup-date for Jubilee! 13 months ago we saved this beauty, Miss Bee. More like she chose us! She was the only one sitting pretty and didn't bark at us. She was sad because nobody wanted this GREAT dog (her). She is loyal, talented, knows commands, obedient, funny, a pure goofball. (story is she attacked another dog that was in her yard. I don't know if she hurt it or not. But that was the reason. She doesn't attack anything in our yard, instead she wants to play with the bunnies, other people (most are scared of her because she is 98lbs and howls when she sees a “friend”) and stray cats. I think they were just giving an excuse.)

I don't understand why she was returned twice. She lived most of her life there. But she now has a great life! Treats galore, good food (due to allergies), she has many toys, a comfortable bed to nuzzle on, and a co-pilot on the couch where she snuggles, nibbles on you and is just so happy.

I love when I come home she howls and wags that strong tail of hers and is just so happy to see her people. I'm glad she chose us! I'm glad she is my snuggle buddy!💚💚💚💚💚💚 I also love it when she howls at me to say “hey”.

She went from a quite dog who just wanted a pickle toy from PetSmart to this happy go-lucky girl that LOVES her home and her people!! 🐾
