WCFA’s featured pet is Rascal.  Rascal is new to WCFA.  He is a very handsome 8 month old feline.  He is shy right now and adjusting to his new foster home.  Rascal is altered, current on vaccines and micro chipped.  His owner can no longer care for him so Rascal needs a new loving home.

SPAY/NEUTER

WCFA offers a wonderful low-cost/free opportunity to spay/neuter your pets to prevent accidental litters and keep your pet happy and healthy. We will always alter feral cats to be released back in their environment.  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.
