We Care for Animals (WCFA) featured pet is Lily, a very sweet, happy Deer Chihuahua.  Lily is about 6 months old, spayed, current on vaccines, micro chipped and house trained to a dog door.  She gets along well with other dogs and is very good on leash.  Lily loves to snuggle.

Cats:

Amaretto is a friendly, pretty adult feline.  She gets along well with other cats and is a gentle, happy lady.  She is a tiger with lots of white on her chest and has a beautiful coat with markings in orange; and

Ruby is a beautiful tortoiseshell.  She is friendly and enjoys greeting guests at the door.  A great feline for your home.

Ace is a 4-5 months old orange and white kitten who is happy, mild and very friendly.  Ace is neutered, current on vaccines and tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV.

WCFA’s next pet adoption is tomorrow, August 9, in Suite 1 at 150 N. Yucca in Mesquite from 9:30 until 12:30 pm.  We will have several cats and a few dogs for adoption.  All of our animals are excited about finding a new forever home.  Between adoption events, arrangements can be made to meet a pet you may be interested in adopting.   All of our adoptable pets have been or will be spayed/neutered and current on initial vaccines.  For a complete listing and photos of our adoptable pets, visit us at wecareforanimals.org.

WCFA offers a wonderful low-cost/free opportunity to spay/neuter your pets to prevent accidental litters and keep your pet happy and healthy.  Our target areas are Mesquite, Bunkerville and the Arizona Strip.  Spay/Neuter Assistance Applications are available at Mesquite Veterinary Clinic located at 371 Riverside Road and Virgin Valley Veterinary Hospital at 660 Hardy Way.  You may also call WCFA at 702-346-3326 to leave a message or visit wecareforanimals.org to contact us by email.  Half of all litters born in the U.S. are accidents that overburden shelters and rescues.

Kitten season:  Female cats can get pregnant as early as four months and a mother cat can become pregnant while still nursing a litter.  If you are feeding a stray or feral cat or have a cat that needs to be spay or neutered, please contact WCFA.  We can help.  Please don’t wait until there is a litter. Call WCFA at 702-346-3326 to leave your name, number and message.  WCFA is focusing on Mesquite and the Arizona strip.

Foster Pet Parents needed:  WCFA depends on reliable pet fosters to save homeless cats and dogs.  The number of homeless pets that WCFA can foster is determined by its available foster homes.  Fostering provides a temporary safe and loving home until adoption.   Fostering a cat or dog could be the most rewarding thing in your life — saving theirs.  Please go to wecareforanimals.org to complete our foster application.

WCFA is often confused with the Mesquite Animal Shelter.  The Shelter is operated by the City of Mesquite.  WCFA is an independent cat and dog rescue and is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.  WCFA relies on dedicated pet fosters to provide a safe home until its fostered animals are adopted.  WCFA can be reached at 702-346-3326 (voicemail) regarding adoption, fostering, information regarding re-homing a pet and spay/neuter assistance for qualified pet owners.   Monetary donations are always needed and can be made online at wecareforanimals.org or by mail at WCFA, P.O. Box 3028, Mesquite, NV 89024.  Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.  WCFA’s email address is wcfanv@gmail.com.  Visit our website at wecareforanimals.org.   Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/wecareforanimalsmesquitenv.
