Wayward Whiskers Cat Rescue

INTAKE IS CLOSED UNTIL JANUARY 2022

I've been rescuing non-stop for 10 years. Sure I've taken a week or two off here and there, but really haven't had a real break during that time. I've
rescued over 1000 cats during that time, with your help, fostering, donations and volunteer time. But I've done a lot of it by myself too.

To be completely honest and transparent, I am burned out. I've felt this way for a few months now, and kept taking in cats anyway because I just didn't
want to say no. But that's not healthy for me or the cats. I know that if I don't take a break, a real break, now, I may decide to stop rescuing altogether.

So to avoid that I've decided to pause intake for 6 months. I still have 13 cats here in the shelter. Some are lifers because they're feral and not
adoptable, but I will still work on getting the adoptable ones placed. I just need to regroup, figure out the direction Wayward is heading in and spend some time taking care of my emotional, mental
and physical health.

I am so thankful for each and every one of you- your support, donations, and time. The last thing I want is to stop doing Wayward, but I need a break so I
don't get to that point. I hope you all understand.

Love,
Sherry

The Wayward Shelter is Officially Open!

After a year of construction, we were finally able to move our cats into the shelter! Our building features a quarantine room with six large stainless steel kennels, an open area adoption room and an outdoor enclosure where the cats in the adoption area can explore the great outdoors!

Wayward Whiskers was selected to participate in the first ever Bexar County High School Film Festival! We partnered with the amazing students and teachers of Central Catholic High School to create a promotional video. We hope you like it!

Wayward Whiskers Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in San Antonio, TX founded in January 2013. We take in stray special needs cats and kittens that may otherwise be abandoned or euthanized.

We accept cats from the public when space is available, as well as pull from local shelters. We provide top-notch veterinary care including any surgeries or treatments the cats may need, and then find forever homes for them. We also are one of the few shelters in San Antonio that accepts FIV positive cats.

Wayward Whiskers operates solely on support from individual and corporate donors. We do not receive any city or government funding.
