My Nonprofit Reviews

I was looking for a companion to rescue and bring into a loving home. I thought Wayward would be the perfect place to do this because I have heard such good things. So I went and visited the cats at the cafe and fell instantly in love. I put in an application immediately for this cat. As I have rescued many animals in the past, I knew the process would be a lot information wise, but not time wise. It took almost 2 weeks for them to respond to my application and by then, I was told the cat I wanted was already adopted a day ago. Now if they said the cat was already adopted a week ago, I would normally understand that, but my application was put in 2 weeks ago.

After that, they were very willing to help me rescue another cat which I had no issues with doing. I found a cat I liked and they contacted the foster parents to give me a call so I could set up a meet and greet. The next day she called but I wasn't able to answer the first call. So I called back 3-4 times everyday to see if she would pick up, and there was nothing from her. After a week, I texted the foster mom to see if she was able to better communicate that way. In the end it worked better to text her, but she responded by telling me that because of poor communication the cat was already adopted by another family.

Now I don't mean any hate, but I found it a lot easier to rescue a cat outside of Wayward because I was able to adopt 2 in less that half the time it took them to respond to my application at Wayward. I think their communication could be a whole lot better with people trying to adopt pets. But I think the foster parents who hold some of the cats also need to be better at communicating as well. It doesn't take long to send and text or an email explaining the situation. But if there's an even bigger change that they should approve upon is to not give cats away when someones application has already been accepted but communication on the foster parents end is poor.

So I will say it again, go somewhere else if you want to adopt a cat because you will be devastated by Wayward.
