WCFA’s featured pet is Maya: Maya was pulled from the local shelter.  She is about 3 1/2 years old, house trained, and walks well on the leash but is nervous about meeting new dogs and people on the walk. She is doing better but it will take time.  She sleeps through the night and would do well with another respectful dog in the home.   Maya is timid and will need someone with patience to help her become more confident.   Maya weighs 9.4 lbs but needs to gain a little weight.  She is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines.  She is very quiet; does not bark.  Maya’s small left eye is a birth defect but she does have vision in the eye and no medical treatment is necessary. She is very sweet.

Other Available Pets: 

CATS: 

Cats do not enjoy being confined in a cage.  The cats we have for adoption show best in a home environment.  If you see a cat you like, to truly see his or her personality, you should ask us to arrange a time, at your convenience, to meet the cat in his/her foster home.  Some of our sweetest cats can come across as cranky or withdrawn when they are placed in the crate for viewing.  Please give these felines a chance by meeting them “outside the cage”.  Taking one of these felines for a sleep over is another way to get to know them better before adopting.  Ask us about our sleep over policy.

 

Punkin is 13 years young.  She is a beautiful Seal Point Himalayan. She is declawed in front.  Punkin will need to be on a special diet for kidney issues.  Otherwise she is very healthy and is doing well in her foster home.  She is getting along well with the other cat in her foster home so would be fine with another mild mannered cat.  A quiet home would be her preference.  Punkin is very sweet and enjoys being petted and hanging out on a cat condo.

Beamer, formerly Creamy, is a 4 year old orange tabby.  He is a sweet boy that needs to be in a home where he is the only cat.   Beamer has been with other cats but is selective on his choice of friends.  He would do best on a kidney healthy diet.  Beamer loves a cat tree where he can watch the outside world.  He will bond easily with his human.

Taylor is about 2 years old. She is a sweet girl and has come a long way in in her foster home.  She likes people and enjoys exploring.  Taylor is altered, current on vaccines and micro chipped.   Taylor is a beautiful white/with black markings feline. Taylor is opening up and becoming more outgoing with everyone she meets. She would be very content in a home where she can wander around the house, visit with her humans and relax.  Taylor shows best in a home environment setting.

Zayn and Willow are brother and sister and about 1 year old.  They came to WCFA because their owner could no longer care for them.  Both are gorgeous looking cats, shy but will warm up to you when you show some love and affection.  Zayn and Willow are altered and current on vaccines.  Although it would be nice if they were adopted together, it is not necessary.

DOGS: 

No other dogs at this time. 

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.  

WCFA/ANIMAL SHELTER: 

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 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.
