Ten Ways to Help Shelter Cats.

1) Put a donation box in your work place for food and toys. After you take it down thank your coworkers for their help. 2) Collect old towels and blankets, the cats can use these in their cages to keep warm and cozy. 3) Make some catnip toys, they are really easy and inexpensive to make. 4) Volunteer to play with the kitties, it helps to make them more social, and offer to help clean the cages. 5) Hold a cat toy and food drive. The easiest way to do this is at your next social gathering or family party. 6) Foster a kitty if you can. Foster homes are always in need, when rescue shelters get full. 7) Volunteer for a Trap-Neuter-Release program. Call your local shelter for details. 8) Take photos for shelters if you are good with a camera. It helps when posting details in papers, and on Face Book if the shelter has good pictures. 9) Put your change to work. At the end of the day, stick it in a jar, and every couple months donate it to a rescue. 10)Donate while you shop. Amazon has Amazon Smile which donates a portion of its proceeds to your favorite charity. Another good one is the Greater Goods.com. Whatever you can do is helpful, and even if you can take a bag of food or cat litter to the shelter it is always received by very grateful shelter workers and the Kitties. So this Holiday Season think about shelter animals, and every little bit does help. Thank You from all of us here in the Catdom.
