In-Kind Donations
In-kind donations are donations of goods or items (cat food, bedding, toys, etc). The cats love gifts of toys, beds, and snuggly blankets.
We purchase food and litter by the pallet to take advantage of bulk rates, but we accept donations as well.
Here are a list of items we use (Items marked ** are always in short supply):
Food and Litter
* Science Diet Adult Optimal cat food

Go to this Shop For Your Cause page and click the “Click Here Donate Button” for Cats Cradle Shelter. For every button click, we get 2 cents, and you can click every day. It doesn’t sound like much but it can add up. If 100 people did it every day for a month, that would be $60/month or $720/year. And that’s only if 100 people did it. What if 1,000 people did it!
