Special mature Lilly seeks special home!

The WCAHS pet of the week is the lovely Lily!

Lily received a lot of attention on our Facebook page last week. She is a former WCAHS pet that lost her forever home when her owner’s health failed. WCAHS foster homes were full, and Lily understandably has a hard time trusting new people. We were able to find her a new foster home, but what she really needs is a place to live out the rest of her days.

Lily is shy at first, but is loyal once you win her trust. She is a beautiful larger cat, with medium long hair and mismatched blue and green eyes. We believe she’s between 7 and 10 years old. She prefers a quiet home without children or dogs, but does get along well with other adult cats. She is declawed, spayed, and up to date on shots. If you’re interested in making Lily’s 2016 bright, e-mail wcahsadoptions@gmail.com for an application.

Sly Salem

The WCAHS pet of the week is the sly Salem!

Salem is a friendly, playful brown tabby kitten who showed up at a farm near Waseca earlier this fall with his sister August and brother Saul. He's a mellow cat who is already comfortable around dogs, kids, and other cats. He's had his first vaccinations and will be neutered in a few weeks.

His adoption fee is $95, which includes his neuter and all shots. He would love to spend the holidays under his very own Christmas tree! To bring Salem home, e-mail wcahsadoptions@gmail.com for an application.
 

Kitty Softpaws



Our pet of the week is the sleek Kitty Softpaws! Dec. 2015

Kitty Softpaws is a very special girl with a heartbreaking story. She was found outside in the country in mid-December, rail-thin and sneezing. She is declawed, which means she had no way to hunt or protect herself outside. The veterinarian who examined her believes she is about 12 years old. With all that's happened to her, it would be no surprise if she was skittish and fearful. However, Kitty Softpaws settled right into her foster home. She is gaining weight  and looks healthier every day. She is a lap cat with super-soft gray and white fur who purrs constantly as she snuggles up to her foster parents. She gets along well with the other cats in her foster home and is also fond of lounging in the bathtub!

Kitty Softpaws needs a special home with owners who are committed to love her for the rest of her days—they will be rewarded with a sweet and loving companion. She is spayed and current on shots.If you're interested in giving Kitty Softpaws the forever home she deserves, e-mail wcahsadoptions@gmail.com for an application.

Charity (and her sister Sierra) were picked up in LeSeuer County in early November. Sierra was adopted by her foster family, but Charity is still looking for a place to call home.

Charity is about a year old, and very sweet and smart. She is learning basic commands and how to be housebroke. She loves scratches and snuggles! She crates on command and likes other dogs—although she’s not fond of cats.
