Site Update
AtkinsDover (#48446): I have news for everyone! According to teahound, Argus was adopted by a family a little after noon EST =) As I understand it, he has a forever home now and was not euthanized! The shelter received the emails Aywas users sent regarding his euthanasia and he was then adopted after his extension =) I'll have him post here with more details when he gets home!
You guys are amazing! I'm so very proud that the impact of the Aywas community meant that this kitten got a few more hours of safety, and in that time, HE GOT ADOPTED!
Well done! I will always be proud of our community for the good we do :)
I know there are a ton of shelter animals that need help, but knowing our community saved at least one of them is a great feeling. Thank you to everyone who sent out emails to the shelter and granted Argus that extension with your interest!

Cat in need
Site Update
Update: Fire � Deja (#1163) has contacted the shelter but lives in California. They can hold the cat until tonight. Slash is willing to cover the cost to ship the cat, but we need a Florida person to actually go in TODAY and adopt the cat so that he can be transported to Deja.
M-M-Mini + LizzyLiz (#567) has an urgent message to Florida Aywasians:
Do you know anyone who lives near Tampa Bay, Florida who could adopt a cat? There's a really sweet black cat that's due to be killed in a few hours if he can't find a home or enough pledges or a rescue.
His info:
6/6 SIGNED OFF FOR EUTH!!! ARGUS WILL BE EUTHANIZED EARLY IN THE MORNING! If you can adopt, adopt-to-rehome, or rescue, you MUST email [email protected] BEFORE 9AM with the words DO NOT EUTH and the Animal ID# in the subject line (serious adopters and rescues only). Include you name and contact information and let the shelter know you can pick up the cat tomorrow. MUST BE PICKED UP TOMORROW!! You can also try calling the shelter starting at 8AM at 813-744-5660 to make sure your email was seen.

PLBC Queue Sadness
Site Update
Uh oh... not only is this queue very small, but it's all pens! This means that we have a large number of sad artists who won't be able to get a list :(
As such, I'm discounting the Painted Lesser Breeding Talisman by $5.00, making it $27.99 for twenty-four hours.
I'd also encourage those of you holding onto PLBCs to submit them so the artists have lists to work on!

Welcome to June!
Site Update
Welcome to the jubilant month of June!
The summer-lovin' GP Shop pets are having a blast!
But the BP Shop pets know the season happens fast, so snag 'em before they drift away!
If you colored one of these adorable pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-June) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
Need some good ol' R&R? Treat yourself to the Essence of June 2014!
Inspired by Candy Month, this sweet liquid will turn your active pet into a random monthly coloration from the pool above.
The premium monthly item is a Tengu Trunk, which contains a 5-piece set of Tengu inspired items! You can preview the hair, skin, pants, wings and mask here!
We are on our third Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac theme!
Remember, the Hawthorn Lunaris is currently with us through June 9th, then a new birthday feline will take over. (And I have a mid-June birthday myself, so I am excitedly awaiting the next pet in the series along with the rest of you mid/late June babies!)
Remember to visit the birthday link on your personal holiday to receive a gift from Aywas! Need to change your birthday? Click here!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
July Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
July Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
July Monthly Customs
Theme: Flight
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom makers have moved to the Premium Shop for June, then will migrate back to the GP/BP Shops for July and August, before returning to the Premium Shop in September.
Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
This month's update will be short and sweet since we're hoping to have some individual project updates for you in the coming weeks, but I did want to give you the teaser that everyone's favorite Welcome Back page is being worked on! (And I don't know about you, but once it returns, I plan on spending an unhealthy amount of time on it. XD)
We also have a fun celebration event planned for the second half of the month and plenty of surprises in store for you!
You'll also be hearing more from me soon on everything from housekeeping items to new information resources and more suggestion implementation. :3
Cheers to June!
