The volunteer watched from a distance as the dogs ate hungrily...eating up the kibble spread on the ground and not stopping till it was all gone. The rescuer was certain a silent thank you was carried back on the wind as the thin dogs gave a last stare back at her before running off; with food in their belly, they will last another day.

Did you know Food Donations are what allows us to do what we do and help those wayward animals get the nourishment they need? With enough such community support, we hope that this buys us time until fosters can be found. This is critical because once we have fosters, we can bring dogs (and cats) into rescue. Next, the goal is to find the rescues warm loving homes. We simply couldn't do our work without such community support, so thank you to all our wonderful supporters!

A few weeks ago, a donation was received because of a special dog named Biscuit. Biscuit has no more need for her food because she has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Her owner contacted Wayward Whiskers and offered up Biscuit's leftover food. Thank you Biscuit, RIP. Thank you Amna, Tia, Faisal and Laila. Our hearts are with you. Wayward Whiskers sends your family our heartfelt condolences. I know it was painful to offer up Biscuit's food and her supplies but please know that her gift will help to release the gnawing ache of hunger in the bellies of the strays that are starving and who are waiting to be rescued, and/or support the rescues in our care.

IN MEMORY OF BISCUIT

Biscuit was born March 7, 2014, and left us too soon on August 17, 2026. She was more than just a dog - she was the sunshine in our lives.

The one thing Biscuit loved most was being with her family. If we were eating dinner or watching a movie, she was always right there sitting with us. Every time one of us came home from school or work, she was the first one to run up to greet us. She was always excited to celebrate holidays, because she knew she'd get a new treat or toy each time our family sang happy birthday or opened presents.

Biscuit, we are so grateful to have had you in our lives. You brought us so much love and joy. The memories we shared will always hold a special place in our hearts.

If love was enough to keep you going, you would have lived forever. We love and miss you so much Biscuit.

Biscuit is survived by Amna (mom), Tia (sister), Faisal (brother) and Laila (sister)

In July, Wayward Whiskers received a call from a grieving family member re donations of some cat equipment and supplies. These calls are always so difficult to have as the pain of the families is so very raw and I know no words of mine can comfort. I was asked if Wayward Whiskers could make use of the supplies they now had available to offer. The answer of course was YES...because without such donations, we could not do what we do as a rescue. As always, in these instances, when loved ones can see through their pain and offer these "gifts", their donation lifts up a "sister" or "brother" waiting to be rescued from starvation, predation, sickness and/or cruel bitter weather.

We at Wayward acknowledge the Life of Tamara and the JOY she brought into the world of Diane and Richard and we appreciate their reaching out to our rescue and sharing Tamara's life's journey.

IN MEMORY OF TAMARA

Tamara came into our lives approximately 4 years ago after a visit to Craig Street Cats. We believe at the time she was approximately 4 years old. We had 4 beautiful years with this sweetheart and have created many beautiful memories in the short time she was with us. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge in July 2026 at the tender year of 8 after being diagnosed with a cancer mass on her liver/pancreas. We were and are heartbroken.

Tamara was a goofy one and always thought she was a dog. She would follow me (Richard) everywhere I went. She knew she was Diane's support animal but generously shared her love with me as well. She would joyfully roll onto her back seeking belly rubs. Her favourite thing to do (besides eating of course) would be to show her love by headbutting us and rubbing her head against our foreheads. Being brushed was also a favourite pastime and despite being groomed, our sweetheart would love to curl up on Diane's wheelchair seat and leave so much fur behind, we could easily have made another cat! Tamara loved her treats and would be quite vocal to tell us she could use one...or ten...and of course we obliged.

There is a special place in our hearts where memories of Tamara will always reside. She will be forever missed.
