Ways to Help
Many people have indicated that they would like to help with this project, but they don’t know what to do. Well, there are just tons of things that you can do, if you would like to help. The obvious one is to click on the donate button in the right hand column, and donate some money. Any amount will be greatly appreciated — $1.00 buys 2 cans of cat food, $50.00 pays for neutering and vaccinating 1 cat or kitten. $500 will allow us to socialize a litter of kittens and prepare them for adoption. $1000 helps to save a litter of newborn kittens, bottle feed them, and prepare them for adoption.
Our Wish List:
- canned cat food (Friskies or Fancy Feast, paté only please)
- feline pine or other wood pellet cat litter
- large plastic storage bins with secure lids
- cleaning / laundry supplies
- bleach
- paper towels

- dry cat food
- dry kitten food
- large cages or covered enclosures (2′ x 3′ or larger)

- fabrics suitable for sewing into the cat toys and cat beds we sell at our fundraising events (sturdy cottons, polar fleece, upholstery fabrics, etc.)
- polyester fiberfill (stuffing)

If you live in the neighbourhood:
- call and offer to put a feeding station or winter shelter in your yard (we have simple plans for building inexpensive versions of both items)
- offer to help with trapping and caring for cats
- help keep track of the cats and where they live
- offer to foster kittens or friendly adults, if we find any
