Waif Wednesday

It’s time to meet our Waifs of the Week: Marcus, Caz, and Merida!

**Marcus is currently staying in a foster home.  If you’d like to schedule a time to meet him, please contact Wayside Adoptions at (816)986-4426. And be sure to check out his video!  To watch, scroll through his pictures and click on the video link.  Thanks!**

This is Marcus, a handsome five month old domestic medium hair kitten. At first, he can be a little shy, but if you give him time to get to know you, he will be an incredible friend and companion. He first came to Wayside as a stray from Belton, when he was just a few weeks old. He was very thin, and practically covered in ticks from head to toe. We treated him, but he was so scared from being alone for the majority of his life, that he was kind of secluded from potential adopters. His foster mom Annie decided he needed a break from the shelter, and needed to experience what having a home is like. She says he is a perfect house guest. He’s not a picky eater, and a pleasure to be around. It took him a few days to come around, and he still gets startled by loud noises, but he has enjoyed the company of his foster mom, and other animals. He does enjoy playing with his toys, and cuddling up on foster mom’s lap. He lives with two other cats in the home, and they get along fantastically. They have taught him how to play and how to go about his cat business. He would love to go home with another cat! He has also lived with an older dog, and just ignored him. Marcus is a sweet boy, and just needs an understanding owner that will give him the time he needs to adjust and come out of his shell. Does that sound like you?

You can learn more about Marcus here. He also has a video, which you can view here.

Meet Caz, a dashing four year old American Bulldog mix. He was originally brought to Wayside after his last shelter ran out of space for him. It’s okay though! He has enjoyed his time here, and has made lots of new friends! Caz is known as being a big, lovable, goofball. He LOVES toys, especially squeaky toys. He loves playing with people, but also can entertain himself. He does well on his leash, and he does great on walks. He loves learning new things, so he will enjoy basic obedience training. Caz is a sweet guy, and looks forward to meeting you!

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if one of those Egyptian cat statues came to life? Introducing the stunning four year old domestic shorthair Merida! Merida came to Wayside with her litter of kittens from her previous shelter that no longer had room for them. She was a great mom, and her children have all found homes, but it is Merida’s turn now! She is a sweet girl, but will give a warning nip if she is getting overstimulated. For that reason, she will do best with a cat-savvy adopter who understands cat communication. When we tested her Felinality, it was revealed that she is a Sidekick. She is moderately brave in new situations and likes being your companion. She is not overtly clingy though, she can entertain herself as well. Are you looking to add beauty, grace, elegance and love to your life? Please come to Wayside and ask for Merida!

You can meet our Waifs of the Week, and all adoptable Waifs, during our adoption hours! We have a special this week, Wednesday through Sunday, with $25 cat/kitten adoptions and $50 dog adoptions(over 1 year old).
