FIV + cats need forever homes, too.

Nosetaps and purrs to all of you!  Our apologies for Mom's laziness lately, we are not amused.  So...today, we want to post about 3 PAWSOME and COOL cats at Wayside Waifs, that need a special home.  That way, you can learn about them now, and then go to Wayside tomorrow to adopt them!! Be sure to watch their videos, too!

Puma, Wyatt & Lancelot, are all FIV +.  I know that sounds really scary, but please read this excerpt about FIV which is posted on each cat's page on Wayside's website. - Tatiana & Bailey

The only thing negative about me is that I'm FIV positive. Hey, don't be a scaredy cat. Read on. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in people, is described by our vets as an active viral infection resulting in an increased susceptibility to secondary infections. Positive cats like me can live long healthy lives as long as any secondary infections are treated properly.

The FIV virus is normally spread through direct contact between cats through deep bite wounds, not through normal contact of sharing food or water dishes, for example. I can't pass it to you humans or to a dog. Cats who test positive can develop neutralizing antibodies and clear the infection, so I should be retested about 3 months after the initial test that confirmed my FIV positive diagnosis.

However, due to the contagious nature of the disease, for the safety of other cats, if you already have a healthy cat, you should not adopt me, but I can join your family if your other cat is also FIV positive. If you would like a cat and have none, I'd be a super sweet and special friend, so come meet me today!

Wayside Waif's Wednesday!!

Meeeeeowww!  It's Wednesday, and you know what that means! Yep, we feature some of the most wonderful cats available for adoption at Wayside Waifs!  Now, we just got a lot lot lot of snow, so Wayside may be closed today, so call before trying to get out there!

Today, we decided we wants to feature the 2 diva's that are at Wayside Waifs - Tiger and Mya.  Tiger and Mya have been at Wayside for some time now.  They are both beautiful cats, with very definite personalities. They even haz their very own room! 

Tiger is a domestic short hair tabby.  For those she approves of, she enjoys laying on their lap, having her belly rubbed, and even though Tiger is a big diva, she loves to play! 

Mya is a beautiful black & white cat.  Mya is kind of a silly cat, in that she likes to do things when no one is watching, like playing with her puff-ball toys.  She doesn't mind a few pets on the head, but she has her limits sometimes.  She prefers to sit beside someone rather than on their lap.  Mya likes to do things her way, basically.  She would prefer to be the only pet in the home, too.  She is quite independent.

You can learn more about Tiger & Mya by clicking on their name below their photo, as well as find the information for Wayside Waifs.

Good luck, Tiger & Mya!!

Wayside Waifs Wednesday

Our Mom works at Wayside Waifs with the cats.  Sometimes she fosters, too.  Even though we don't really like having other cats in our home, we know how important it is for these cats to find their own home.  We both were adopted, but at different shelters, in Ontario.  We were pretty little at the time, but we were so happy when Mom & Dad brought us home!  We had lots and lots of love, plus food, toys, our own beds.  It was warm and comfy, too.  We want other cats needing homes to have all of that!  So, on Wednesdays, we will feature some of the awesome cats available for adoption at Wayside Waifs.

The 2 cats we are featuring today are very close to Mom's heart.  She fostered both of them!  To learn more about them, click on their name below their photograph.  There are more pics and even a video for you to see!
