Waif Wednesday
Thank you all for the wonderful support we had over the weekend of Mega Match. A grand total of 724 shelter pets found forever homes during the event presented by the Petco Foundation! This collaborative life-saving event with Wayside Waifs, KC Pet Project and Great Plains SPCA offered $35 pet adoptions this past weekend. Congratulations to all of the new families and furry friends – be sure to keep us updated on your life adventures together! Tail wags and purrs to the all of the staff, volunteer and supporters who worked tirelessly during this mega adoption event!
Back to business! It’s time to meet our Waifs of the Week: Jack and Jill, Nugget, and Charlie.
FIV: Fabulous, Invincible, and Valuable
FIV(Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a complex retrovirus that causes immunodeficiency disease in domestic cats. In non-fancy jargon, basically the cat’s body is unable to properly protect the immune system. As a result of immunodeficiency, most infected cats do not show symptoms and have a normal life expectancy, but they are prone to developing other infections and certain types of cancer. We adopt out FIV positive cats, and I just want to showcase how great they are, by explaining their unique quality.

Mega Match Alert!
There are some exciting times ahead! We are gearing up for our adoption event next week, and there are many animals ready to find their forever homes! In this post, I want to provide information about our event, as well as advertise some of our animals and give tips to potential adopters.
Back-To-School Tips
When August comes around, we start thinking about school. Either the back to school sale, school supplies list, making sure everything’s ready, or just dreading the upcoming semester. What we might not always think about is how our furry friends in the home might understand what August means. I’m going through some tips and explaining what our pets feel like during those different schedules after summer.
Waif Wednesday!
Once again, it’s time to meet our Waifs of the Week: Marley, Jon, and Barney.
Dutch: Long-Term Resident
It’s that time again for a monthly segment of our long-term residents. A long-term resident is someone who has been here at least thirty days or longer, and I try to narrow it down to some who have been here even longer. Last month, we focused on Bert and Marla, and I have good news. Marla found her forever home a week ago! This week, we are going to talk about Dutch and Rhett!
Waif Wednesday
It’s that time again to meet our Waifs of the Week: Rory, Ringo, and Benji! This is Rory, a gorgeous four-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Meet Ringo, a strapping young cat with no English accent. Here’s Benji, an exquisite eight-year-old American Bulldog mix who was found as a stray by a good Samaritan.
Volunteer Appreciation
In many aspects of shelter operation, we would not be where we are without our volunteers. Our staff members are very thankful for the active roles our volunteers take in caring for the animals in the shelter. I thought it would be nice to showcase some of the many volunteers and what they do here that better improves the mission we all have; save as many lives as we can!
Waif Wednesday
It’s time to meet our Waifs of the Week: Buster, Dolly, and Cheyanne! This is Buster, a photogenic three-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix. Meet Dolly, a beautiful dilute Tortoiseshell cat who is one-year-old. This is sweet Cheyanne, a seven-year-old Shepard mix.
