❤Remember Goob???❤

Goob came to WCAS as an owner surrender due to his owner citing that they were experiencing landlord issues and they could no longer keep him. Thankfully, Goob did not have to wait long for adoption - just 4 days after entering... our care, he was adopted!❤️

Goob's adopter shared these great photos and this wonderful update with us!
🐾I adopted Goob around a month or two ago. He is the most affectionate, clingy, playful cat I’ve ever seen. He is an amazing addition to my home. Every time I come home from a long shift on the ambulance, I see him and it makes every hard day worth it. He enjoys his cardboard boxes, piles of toys, his window perch, and chasing his tail. He loves lounging about after playing with his bird feather. Every morning I wake up with him snuggling close. 💕 🐾

❤Remember Henri (now Aries)???❤

Aries came to WCAS in late May of this year as a stray and, unfortunately, was never reclaimed by an owner. He patiently waited for his chance at a forever home for more than three months—a long time for any ...shelter resident to wait for their happy ending.
Thankfully, Aries' patience finally paid off! After more than three months of waiting, he found his forever home and got to leave WCAS with his very own family.

Aries' adopter shared these great photos and this wonderful update with us!
🐾Hi, just thought I'd let you guys know Henri ( now Aries) is doing great. He is very high energy. lol but such a good boy and tries really hard. He's learned to be housebroken in a week and a half and is very active going on runs with me and his dog sister. He is settling in to home life great and loves taking naps on the couch with his cat siblings even allowing him to lay next to them sometimes. lol. Have a great day! 💕 🐾

🚨🐱 EMPTY THE SHELTERS UPDATE — WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! 🐱🚨

Our cat enclosures are full, but cats continue to come through our doors every day.

Right now, we have 176 cats in our care, with 131 cats entering the shelter since Monday. We are currently out of available ...cat space and urgently need adopters to help us create room for the cats who are still waiting to come through our doors.

The cats and kittens featured in these photos arethe amazing felines looking for homes right now. From playful kittens to affectionate adults and sweet seniors, every adoption makes an immediate impact.

Thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation's sponsorship, adoption fees are just:
🐾 Adult Cats: $5
🐾 Kittens: $30

Cats and kittens currently on stray hold are not eligible for this promotion.

We also have multiple litters of kittens being spayed and neutered today that will be available for adoption tomorrow.

❤️ If you've been considering adopting, please don't wait.

🏠 One adoption opens one enclosure.

🐱 One open enclosure means we can help another cat in need.

📢 If you can't adopt, please share this post. A simple share could help one of these cats find a home and create much-needed space at the shelter.

We need your help now more than ever. Come meet your new best friend and help us make room for the next cat who needs us.
