If you spend your nights fighting off flashbacks of bad past relationships, trust the cats at the Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation to drop the remedy that will restore your sleep and honor.

Following demand, the foundation — also known as WAIF — invites singles who are unable to move on to submit the first name of their ex-partners, which will be written on the inside of a clean litter box with a marker before being placed inside the kennels, where the cats at the Coupeville shelter will serve justice.

Inspired by other shelters, the first “Crappy Ex-Valentine” will raise funds for the foundation’s efforts to repair the well after the water pump failed two weeks ago, according to Communications and Event Coordinator Karina Andrew.

Fixing the well is expected to cost between $21,000 and $25,000. On top of that, the cost of replacing the clothes dryer that caught fire during the same week is approximately $7,000, Executive Director Cinnamon Hudgins told the News-Times last week.

Community members can make a $10 donation for each bad ex by searching “Honor Your Crappy Ex-Valentine!” on WAIF’s website. So far, Andrew said, the list of former partners seeking to serve some hot, steamy revenge is quite hefty.

If there happen to be multiple name duplicates, the name will be written as many times as received, she said. Photographic proof will then be uploaded on Facebook before the cats relieve themselves.

“Everyone will know that no matter what the name they submitted, it is written in there for them, so everybody gets all the karma they signed up for,” Andrew assured.

For those whose hearts are filled with love rather than crippling bitterness (for now), WAIF offers Valentine cards featuring the shelter’s pets and punny messages, which can be sent to romantic partners, friends and family members in exchange for a donation of $10 or more. To explore options, search “Send a WAIF Valentine!”

Andrew hopes these humorous initiatives will make people smile and inspire them to adopt a pet.

The shelter is located at 60 Park Road in Coupeville. For more information about WAIF, visit waifanimals.org.
