My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sandy went from being a feral kitten living with his family outside an abandoned house, to here with us, in our cat room, with humans who keep trying to pet him and other cats who keep trying to play with him and he is VERY confused about this complete change in his day to day life and isn’t sure he likes it.
Because of this, Sandy will need a family who understands why he’s so shy, but also one who will stay consistent in his socializing so that he learns that people mean good things.
Luckily he’s pretty easily drawn into playing, either with his siblings or with string toys, so it shouldn’t take too long to win him over, and he’s already so much better than he was when they first arrived!
We think Sandy and his brothers are about 3 months old, so they aren’t quite ready to go home just yet, but they will be as soon as they’re neutered. We’re hoping that by mid-october they’ll be ready to go to their forever homes and would love to have those homes lined up beforehand. We would love for the brothers to be adopted together, but if that’s not possible, we are looking to place them in homes with other cats.
Sandy and his siblings will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccinations by the time they’re ready to go home, so if you want to be considered to be their forever home, the time to apply is now! We don’t have any set adoption fees, but do ask that a donation be made at the time of adoption, and for Sandy we are asking for a donation of $250.
You can find the application on our website, waywardranch.org, or let us know if you have any questions!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
