For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Can you imagine living your whole life with one family, then watching them pack up the entire apartment and then all the other animals, everything you’ve known, then leaving you and another cat behind with nothing? You’re in the same place, but your entire world has changed and you have no idea why. No idea if they were coming back for you, or if anyone knew you had been left?
That was the situation Nellie and Butters had found themselves in recently. Luckily, they were found within a couple days, so the situation wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but that was still a couple days that they went without food or water.
When we first met these two, they were waiting right at the apartment door and were SO excited to have someone there with them, Butters came right over to us and started posing for pictures.
She hung out with us for a little bit before we started to try to get pictures of Nellie and then she wandered over to her food bowl and started snacking. She wasn’t thrilled about me trying to pet her while she was eating, but she just did a very gentle swipe of her paw to say ‘hold on a second’ and then the second she was done eating, she went right back to posing for pictures and being super lovey.
She hung out with us the entire rest of the time, whether we were petting her, taking pictures of Nellie, or just standing there talking and it’s obvious that she was just so happy to be around people, she was just soaking up the attention and loving every second of it.
We’re not entirely sure how old Nellie is, but our vet estimates that she’s probably about 5 or 6 years old and that Butters is about 2 years old. Supposedly these two are a mother/daughter duo, but we’re not sure if that’s true since the same person who said that told us Nellie was 12 yrs old.
What we do know is that these two have been through a lot together, and we would love to find them an adoptive home together, but know it can be difficult to find a home for two adult cats, so we will split them up if that’s the only way we’re able to find homes for them. They have lived with dogs, cats, and are great with kids so they’d be able to fit into just about any home!
If you are able to give these two sweethearts the home they deserve, you can fill out an application for them on our website, waywardranch.org! They are both spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all their vaccinations.

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.
