We need canned dog and cat food, non-scoopable cat litter and bleach plus many other items on our wish list page! 
 

The shelter needs a new vehicle! 
A cargo van would be purr'fect for transporting animals to and from the vet and also hauling other items and pulling our trailer which was donated by
United Way.  Our thanks to them for their generosity! 
We would be happy also with a used cargo van. A great idea for a
tax deductible gift to help the animals! Pass the word!
