Wayward Creatures Relief Agency

We are a small operation, started by co-workers at a veterinary clinic to assist animals which were abandoned at the clinic. Sadly, this is a fairly common problem, and many veterinary clinics have had their share of boxes of kittens left on the front step. We primarily foster, treat, and re-home animals which are released to us for medical or financial reasons.

All animals posted here are fostered in a home or hospitalized at a veterinary clinic; we don't have a shelter facility. Because of this, we are unfortunately unable to take on very many animals at once, and will selectively take in animals that need more individual care, attention, and treatment than is available at a more standard shelter facility. All funding for these efforts comes from our own pockets or private donations; we are not government subsidized, nor do we receive grants. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so any donations are tax-deductible and much appreciated!

Rescue FAQs

Wayward Creatures is located in Stevens County, Washington. All of the animals we take in are from this county, but we are willing to transport animals to other areas if arrangements can be made with the animal's foster home.

Additional adoption info

The adoption process is tailored to the individual animal. Please contact the foster home listed on each animal's description for specific information.

We have a basic application/adoption form to fill out, and ask for a donation based on the amount of money we've put into the individual animal. Many of our rescues have had extensive veterinary work before being made available for adoption, so we do not have a standard fee.
