Always eager to extend a friendly claw
Items
A rather noisy addition to the Trash for Treasure has been made - Vulture (#808) dropped off these Companion Lammergeier for everyone to enjoy!
They will be in stock until 11:59pm on the 28th January.
I will sneakily take this opportunity to say that, as you've noticed, items are being put into Trash for Treasure rather than the Advent. This is a permanent change to how handing out "free" CIP items works. I hope to have the knowledgebase article for custom items up by the end of the week, and that will contain more details =)
Enjoy your birds, and please thank Vulture for sharing them with us!

Vote for the new Monaku!
Pets
Thank you for the wonderful Monaku entries!
Remember, the coloration with the most votes will become an official site pet and reside in the BP Shop.
The rest will be given away as customs in some fashion or another. :3
You have until January 23rd at 11:59 p.m. to cast your vote!
(And good luck trying to narrow it down!)

Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Recreate an Aywas edible and we received a creative smorgasboard of entries! You guys really impressed me with the accuracy on a lot of these as well!
Here are our featured winners:
They won:
Congratulations!
The current theme is Opening a Locked Chest!
This is your chance to illustrate the moment when your pet is out of keys, but they're determined to get that treasure chest open anyway! All mediums are acceptable.
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!

Help-a-Pet Day!
Site Update
Today has been declared Help-a-Pet Day!
Brought to you by Chianya (#12264) and the power of a Slashbot.
This time of year can be especially rough for animals, particularly in areas experiencing harsh winter climates.
Many animals find themselves as unwanted pets from the holidays, are strays seeking warmth and food, or are in a shelter overrun with other pets looking for a forever home. Therefore, Chianya is bringing a week-long event to Aywas in order to help spotlight the cause and support animals in need!
Donation Drive
Aywas is sponsoring a donation drive to help the efforts of organizations that rescue and care for any and all animals. As a thank you for your generosity to an animal-focused shelter/charity of your choice, we have set up the following tiers according to Chianya's specifications:
$5* - White Socked Cat Melo
$10 - Maine Coon Inari
PLUS:
- White Socked Cat Melo
$25 - Deer Velox
PLUS:
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
$40 - Purring Lunaris
PLUS:
- Deer Velox
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
$50+ - Pawprint Dog Bed
PLUS:
- Purring Lunaris
- Deer Velox
- Maine Coon Inari
- White Socked Cat Melo
The Pawprint Dog Bed is a custom creator that will enable you to upload your very own Shelter Dog silver pet with up to 30% edits. Click the image to download the PSD.
As this pet is a donation reward, these lines cannot be created with SCCs, Silver Potions, etc.
* Donation tiers are listed in USD amounts, but you may donate in another currency as long as it is at least the USD equivalent amount.
How to Donate
1. Choose a shelter or animal charity of your choice. Any organization that helps, cares for, or rescues animals from cats and dogs to exotic pets and even wildlife is acceptable. We are very flexible on this!
2. Check to see if the organization has a minimum donation amount.
3. Donate the amount of your choice.
4. Send a receipt or proof of donation to me at [email protected]. Please include your ID number and ensure I can see the amount and organization, but feel free to block out any personal details. A screenshot of your webpage receipt or forwarding me the receipt the shelter/charity e-mails you would suffice!
5. Receive your rewards! :3
If you currently volunteer at a shelter/animal charity:
Aywas would like to extend our gratitude to you by offering you the full set of rewards above.
Simply email me at [email protected] with some sort of proof of your volunteer status and I'll get you taken care of! c: Please be sure to include your ID.
BP Shop Support
If you are not in a position to donate but still want to show your support for the cause, we have filled the BP Shop with animal-related goodies!
You will find 11 pets to collect (including the Kodama and the three pets above), along with some HA wearables.
Each box of the six above contains one corresponding shirt that says "I <3 Dogs," "I <3 Cats," "I <3 Animals," etc. and each is a different color and style. You can see how all of them look through the Preview Wardrobe option!
We also have four "wearable" accessories that fit in the bottom right corner of your HA box to add some scenery! You can also check these out with the Preview Wardrobe option.
The drive will be running until January 25th at 11:59 p.m., so all donations need to be made by this time, as well as all goodies snagged from the shop!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Chianya (#12264).
We would also love to hear about your shelter/animal charity experiences, and if you have a suggestion for one to support, you are welcome to share it in the comments below.
As a site full of animal lovers, Aywas is very excited to be able to host a drive like this. <3
Thank you for your support!

Belated Birthday
Items
It was a long time ago now but back in September Narwhal (#18635) wanted to spread some birthday cheer with a present for everyone.
Even though it's now January I'm sure we can still use something to cuddle up with!
Narwhal's Gift is now stocking in Trash for Treasure for everyone to get one - or a few =)

Admin Change
Site Update
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that our admin Visark will be retiring from her current duties. She has done a lot of work over the past years and we're really happy to have had her.
From this point forward, pet payments will be handled by Kyu #1010. If you have any outstanding payment waiting, please contact Kyu to have that processed. Please be sure to include what you had accepted, the thread or message where it was accepted, and what amount is due. Kyu is also handling Birthday Lunaris refunds and switches.
Human Avatar custom items will be handled by Eveglori #2775. If you need any help with those, feel free to drop her a message, and she'll be taking good care of the admin panel for them.
Please be sure to thank Visark for everything she's done, and wish her well!

Dogs
Pets
It seems there was a bit of confusion about the dogs, reading the news comments - they don't require an SCC to upload when you select one after purchasing 100 GP. The dog will be uploaded for you for free :)
So you get the SCC's value and the art for free on top of the purchase.
A thread about the Adventure Revamp has been posted here. The team of talented students submits something every week and tells us about it, so we'll share it with you, too!
