### Strays and Feral Animals

Howl (Bamboogummy) (Siberian Husky Domestic Dog) (Male, intact) (White fur with ice blue eyes) (Feral) (Has fleas, quite scrawny from lack of food, has a bite wound on his right shoulder and is covered in scratches inflicted by the fox Vixela, not very patient with young children, aggressive towards house cats and prey animals like rabbits, deer, etc. Though he's not afraid of drinking water, he is afraid of falling into larger bodies of water such as pools and lakes and will thus try to be extra careful with his step around those kinds of places. Needs training.) (2 years and 1 day old) (Was abandoned as a very young pup along with his mother and three siblings when he was very young because their owner couldn't afford to care for them anymore. Howl's original owner arranged to breed his dog Bellamoon with Howl's dad, who was owned by a fellow Siberian Husky breeder. Because his dad wasn't owned by his original owner, he was never present to see or help care for his pups. Even though it was hard raising them alone on the streets, Howl's mother has managed to successfully raise Howl and his siblings into adults and he and his siblings have now all parted ways, saying goodbye to mother and each other, though they still meet each other occasionally. Howl now roams the streets alone. He is currently searching for a mate to start a pack with, and considered Lily, but rejected her after she didn't help him hunt on a hunting trip where they were supposed to work together for no reason at all. He asked her why she didn't help him, and she only said "I don't know, I just didn't". Howl broke up with Lily and started dating Eve instead not long after that day. Things were going well with Eve and they were growing to love each other very much, until Eve suddenly became seriously ill and died. Howl is on his own once again.) (Mother: Bellamoon) (Father: A black and white husky who was never present due to having been taken away by his owner after breeding with Bellamoon.)

Prettyface (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Russian Blue Cat) (Female) (Blue-gray fur with green eyes) (Feral) (2 years and 1 day old) (Has fleas, quite scrawny from lack of food, needs to be litter box trained, hates dogs and acts aggressive towards them) (She had an owner once, but was physically abused and eventually abandoned. She has since transitioned from stray to feral. She is a very fierce and unsympathetic cat.)

Bells (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Female, intact) (Peach orange fluffy tabby with medium green eyes, white chest and belly) (Scrawny from lack of food, needs to be litter box trained, has fleas. She is afraid of getting into cars & carriers due to the trauma of being abandoned by her first family) (Stray) (1 year, 8 months, 1 week and 1 day old) (Bells is a very sweet and motherly, yet cautious cat. She was adopted by a family when she was a kitten, but as she grew older, her family lost interest in her because she was no longer as cute and little. One day, they took her in their car and abandoned her on the streets. There she waited for them to come back, until she met a male black cat named Roost who taught her how to stay alive out on the streets. After some time, she became pregnant with Roost's kittens, but Roost left her after she became pregnant. The litter she gave birth to consisted of three kittens, but the first and middle born kittens died minutes after birth as they were born very weak. The last born kitten was Orange, and was the only one who survived birth. A month and two days after Orange's birth, Bells met a dalmatian puppy named Autumn and adopted her after hearing that Autumn's entire family was captured and Autumn had no family to take care of her. Little does Bells know that Autumn's sister Rosy wasn't captured either, though Autumn knows very well. She is currently severely ill due to salt poisoning from eating a thrown out bacon sandwich and has been taken to the emergency room in a vet clinic by the Walters family who found her after following Weasel to the Sun Chasers' home, an alleyway. As long as she survives and no other complications arise, she will have been successfully treated and ready to go to either a new home or an animal shelter on May 5th, Year 1. Sadly, while she was being treated at the vet clinic, unbeknownst to Bells, her daughter Orange was hit and killed by a car.) (Mother: Clarabelle) (Brothers: Casper, Rascal) (Daughter: Orange, deceased.) (Adoptive Daughter: Autumn)

Bellamoon (Bamboogummy) (Siberian Husky Domestic Dog) (Female, intact) (Black and white fur with an ice blue left eye and yellow right eye.) (Stray) (5 years and 1 day old) (Scrawny due to lack of food, has fleas and a broken front right leg inflicted by a mother elk from the forest, does very well with all other animals but is afraid of bodies of water she could potentially fall into. Because of this fear, she will try to be extra careful around larger bodies of water, though she will never refuse to drink. She is also easily frightened by sudden loud noises, though she might be okay with a noisy house as long as it isn't excessively noisy. She does very well with young children and is very patient with them. She knows the commands "sit", "come", "down", "stay", "leave it" and is house trained. She is very kind, caring and trusting, sometimes a little too trusting. She once took care of a wolf pup named Cherry for a little while before she sadly passed away.) (Son: Howl) (Pups: 3 unknown siberian husky domestic dogs)

Spooky (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Female, intact) (Mostly black fur with white toes and muzzle. Her eyes are orange.) (Feral) (3 years and 1 day old) (Has fleas, afraid of sudden loud noises, canines, birds of prey, bears and other animals that may act aggressive towards a cat, may attempt to hunt rabbits, mice, rats, parrots and other animals that cats may prey on. She is not very patient with young children and will attack if they bother her and she can't run away, but she is otherwise a sweet cat. She hasn't been litter box trained.) (She lives in a colony with her sister Fallen Heart. She is quite easily frightened and submissive, but she is also very sweet and generous.) (Sister: Fallen Heart) (Siblings: 3 unknown cats)

Fallen Heart (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Female, intact) (Pure white fur, but she is genetically tortoiseshell. She has piercing ice blue eyes.) (Feral) (3 years and 1 day old) (Has fleas, afraid of canines, birds of prey, bears and other animals that may act aggressive towards a cat, may attempt to hunt rabbits, mice, rats, parrots and other animals that cats may prey on. She is not at all patient with young children and will attack if they bother her. She hasn't been litter box trained.) (She is quite fierce and hot-headed and very rarely shows her soft side. She can be a bit aggressive at times. She leads a colony.) (Sister: Spooky) (Siblings: 3 unknown cats)

Angel (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Male, intact) (Light ginger and white fur, beautiful pastel blue eyes, rounded ears, long, fluffy fur) (Stray) (1 year, 5 days and 6 months old) (Has fleas, does well with dogs, cats and any animal bigger than him, with an exception for birds large enough to carry him, he is afraid of large birds. He may attempt to hunt small, prey-sized birds, rats and mice, but he does fine with rabbits. He is afraid of cucumbers and is extremely patient with young children and even lets people rub his belly. He will never defend himself against young Homo Sapiens children but may against older kids and other animals if attacked, though he will always prefer to run. He has been litter box trained.) (He is very kind and extremely emotional, crying very easily. He is exceedingly generous but can be a bit too trusting at times, and is very persistent when he wants to become friends with someone.) (He was abandoned by his owner when his owner's girlfriend made him choose between her or the cat.)

Biko (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Male, neutered) (Short brown tabby fur, yellow eyes, off-white chest and tail tip) (Feral) (8 months and 5 days old) (Has fleas, does well with other cats but not with any animal that may easily be hunted by a cat such as mice, as well as animals that may hunt or otherwise target cats such as dogs and some birds. He is not very patient with young children and is likely to bite or scratch them if they bother him enough and he can't escape easily. He hasn't been litter box trained.)

Roost (Bamboogummy) (Domestic Cat) (Male, intact) (Black fur with bright blue eyes) (Stray) (10 months, 1 week and 2 days old) (He has fleas and may attempt to hunt any animals that could be potential prey to him such as small rodents and birds, but he does fine with other cats. He finds it difficult to get along with dogs, but it's not completely impossible, especially if the dog in question is a particularly calm and quiet one and/or grew up around a lot of cats. He is afraid of wolves, bears and other wild animals that may prey on him. He currently doesn't trust humans much at all regardless of age, but if someone is able to help him regain his trust in humanity he may be able to tolerate being in a home with young children.) (Sister: Lucky, deceased) (Daughter: Orange, deceased) (He was abandoned by his owner, leading him to lose faith in humanity.)

Leslie (Bamboogummy) (Beagle Dog) (Male, intact) (Brown and black fur with very dark brown eyes, off-white chest and belly) (Stray) (1 year and 1 day old) (He has fleas and is malnourished. He has a surprisingly low hunting drive for a beagle and does well with just about any other animal, he is trusting to a fault. He has no notable fears. He does great with children and is very gentle with them.) (He was abandoned by his owner, but he still believes they will come back for him and has not yet lost his faith in humanity.)

Samantha (Swimming8089) (Red Fox) (Female, intact) (Tan fur with light yellowy tan chest and belly, dark brown markings and very dark brown eyes) (3 years and 1 day old) (Any ailments? Any notable fears? They are afraid of animals which may act aggressively toward them, and they may attempt to hunt animals that would be considered prey to a red fox. Because they are a wild animal, if they were ever captured and deemed unable to return to the wild, it'd be best for them to go to a home without young children. She was born and raised in the wild.) (UNFINISHED CHARACTER)

## Feral & Stray Groups

### Cat Colonies

Most cat colonies consist of only females and their kits, male kits being kicked out once they reach a certain age. There can be exceptions to this, however.

#### The Fallen Colony

The Fallen Colony is a somewhat aggressive colony of mostly feral cats. They only accept adult females and will kick male kits out once they are old enough to fend for themselves.

Spooky (Bamboogummy) (Second in command)

## Different Types of Shelters

### Open vs Limited Admission

Open admission shelters will allow any animal into their shelter, no matter how injured, sick, or hard to train they are. However, if the shelter gets too full, they may have to euthanize an animal in order to make room for more animals. They will choose an animal and give them two to ten days, depending on the shelter, to get adopted, and if they are not adopted during that time they will unfortunately have to be euthanized. It is also possible if there are other shelters available, an animal can instead be moved to that shelter to make way for this new animal, or the new animal can go to a different shelter if this one is full.

Limited admission picks and chooses which animals to let into their shelter. Limited admission rarely euthanizes their animals unless they are impossible to rehabilitate.

### Sterilization

Sterilization of the animals refers to spaying or neutering them, depending on the animal's gender. Spaying is for girls, neutering is for boys. This is a surgery which causes the animal to be completely unable to reproduce ever again, and it is not reversible. Some animals are unable to be sterilized due to high risk, but for most animals, such as domestic dogs, domestic cats and fancy rats, it is an easy procedure which doesn't have very high risk. Most shelters will always sterilize their animals, or make you sign a contract saying that you will sterilize the animal, but some may not require it.

### Pet Types & Their Required Exhibits

Some shelters may only accept certain pet types, such as small pets, normal pets, birds, exotic pets, fish and farm animals. This depends on their available supplies & places. Kennel pets go in kennels, small pets can go in small or large cages depending on the species, birds go in large cages, exotic pets depend on the exact species, fish go in aquariums and farm animals go in fenced areas, possibly with a barn. A shelter can accept different numbers for each types, depending on the quantity of the exhibits needed for the pet type. If they have none of a certain exhibit, they can reject the pet type associated with that exhibit.

## Vet Clinics

Vet Clinics are hospitals for pets. Vets work here and help diagnose and treat sick and hurt animals. Vet clinics may also offer hygiene care for the animals, such as nail trimmings, fur trimmings, baths, fur brushings and teeth brushings! Groomers will also work here to help with the hygiene care.

When you make your own vet clinic, your vet clinic will always be offering treatments for sick and hurt animals, but you *can*choose which of the following your vet clinic offers, whether it is none, all of them, one of them or some of them!

* Low-risk spays and neuters
* High-risk spays and neuters (for animals that are difficult to spay/neuter but are in very bad condition and spaying/neutering would help them heal or cure them.)
* Nail trimmings
* Fur trimmings
* Mane trimmings
* Low-risk Baths
* High-risk Baths (For animals that may die from shock if given a bath, but are unable to clean themselves and need a bath urgently)
* Flea baths
* Fur brushings
* Mane brushings
* Feather brushings
* Tusk trimmings (Only for when their tusks have grown in a way that is uncomfortable)
* Euthanasia
* Dying the pet with safe and natural dyes

You can also choose which animals the vet clinic will take in. Note that declawing cats is illegal in this roleplay, though you can still play as a cat who was illegally declawed and then rescued if you wish. If a vet clinic is caught declawing a cat, the vet clinic will be shut down immediately.

### Critters and Creatures Vet Clinic

(Accepts all animals.) (Does low-risk spays and neuters, high-risk spays and neuters only if the animal NEEDS it for health reasons, they will refuse to sterilize the animal if the owner just doesn't want them to have babies. Does nail trimmings, fur trimmings, mane trimmings, low-risk baths, high-risk baths only if the animal NEEDS it and can't groom themselves, flea baths, fur brushings, mane brushings and euthanasia.

Pet Salons are salons for pets. Groomers work here and get to groom the pets. Depending on the salon, you can get your pet one of the following treatments here.

* Nail trimmings
* Fur trimmings
* Baths
* Flea baths
* Fur brushings
* Dying the pet with safe and natural dyes

The salon also gets to choose which animals it will treat.

## Pet Shows

Pet Shows can be hosted and entered by Homo Sapiens with their pets. The host can decide which animals the pet show will allow as well as how many rounds the pet show will have, how the winners will be chosen, what prizes will be given to the winners and even what type of pet show it is. Some pet shows will even have multiple types, one type per round!

Here is a list of the different types. Note not all pets can perform in pet shows. Pets that are just not smart enough, too dangerous or just unable to do the required actions to enter the show might not be able to be entered in all types of pet shows, though some pets may be able to enter some types while they can't enter others.

* Trick Shows, where the pet will have to do several tricks that may or may not be chosen by the host. The pet will be judged based on how well they did the tricks.
* Fashion Shows, where the pet is judged based on their looks. Some Fashion Shows will have the pet be groomed to look fancy before the judgment, some have the pet be dyed before the show, and some will not have any preparation and will simply judge the pet based on their natural looks.
* Agility Shows, where the pet gets to perform in an agility course. The pet will then be judged based on how well they did the agility course.
* Auditions, where the pet gets to audition to star in a play. The host is the director of the play or movie and will get to choose who gets to star in the play as well as set the requirements for the pet to be able to audition.

### Open Pet Shows

Open Pet Shows are pet shows still looking for new pets to enter the show. The pet show will not begin until they are done looking for new pets to enter.

### Closed Pet Shows

Closed Pet Shows are pet shows no longer looking for new pets to enter the show. These pet shows may be just about to start or already in progress! Once the closed pet show ends and the winners are chosen, you can find the results in the events list further down the page.

## Roles

### Homo Sapiens Roles

#### Animal Control

Members of Animal Control are on the lookout for stray and sometimes feral animals and will try to capture them. They then drop off the animals they catch at an Animal Shelter.

#### Animal Caretakers

Animal Caretakers are people who take care of all the animals captured by Animal Control until they are finally adopted. They work at Animal Shelters.

#### Citizens

Citizens are just normal people who adopt a pet and have fun caring for them. They may have a job, but it won't be at an Animal Shelter, Vet Clinic or Pet Salon.

#### Vets

Vets help diagnose sick or injured pets and farm animals and help them heal. They work at Vet Clinics.

#### Groomers

Groomers work at Vet Clinics and Pet Salons. They will groom the animals, getting their nails trimmed, fur trimmed, given a bath, fur brushed, teeth brushed and will sometimes even dye the animal!

#### Breeders

Breeders own and selectively breed specific intact animals and then give the babies away once they are old enough. Those who wish to get a pet from a breeder may ask them if they could breed them a pet and give them the specifics of what they want, and then the breeder may get to work on breeding the exact pet they wish to have. This may take multiple tries, depending on the results each birth. Breeders may choose whether they want to keep or put up for auction the babies that don't quite fit the requirements. When they don't have anyone requesting specific pets from them, they will usually just breed and auction based on their own decisions.

### Animal Roles

#### Strays & Ferals

Strays & Ferals are animals who are living out in the city, with no owner. They must work for food and water, unlike pets who are generally given the perfect life. Strays are comfortable with Homo Sapiens and have had contact with Homo Sapiens in the past, while ferals are scared of Homo Sapiens and have had little to no contact with them in the past, though strays can become ferals if they have less and less contact with Homo Sapiens. Ferals are more like wild animals while strays are more like lost pets. Both strays and ferals can be captured by Animal Control and turned into Shelter Animals.

#### Shelter Animals

Shelter Animals are former strays or ferals who were captured by Animal Control and are now being rehabilitated so they can be fit as a pet. After they are rehabilitated, they are put up for adoption so they can live a happy pet life.

#### Pets/Farm Animals

Pets/Farm Animals are former Shelter Animals who were put up for adoption and adopted. They can now live a happy life well taken care of by their new owner.
