Donating – Animal Charities and Shelters

Can you donate used cat toys?
Shelter cats can go through toys pretty fast, but it's important to provide them with the mental stimulation and comfort that come with having items to play with. Most shelters will take rope toys, wand toys, balls, puzzle feeders, scratching posts, and both catnip and catnip toys.

How can I help my pets in need?
Adopt a Shelter or Rescue Dog
Your local shelter or rescue group may have the perfect dog just waiting for you. If you have your heart set on a certain dog breed, find a local breed-specific rescue. Adopting one pet can save that pet and possibly others from euthanasia, but it can also create a chain reaction.
Who do you call when your dog dies?
If you believe that once a pet has passed away the body is just a shell, you can call your local animal control. They usually have low cost (or no cost) services to dispose of deceased pets. You can also call your veterinarian. You will need to bring your pet to the clinic but then they can arrange for disposal.

Do animal shelters take old bedding?
Animal Shelters
Many local animal shelters heavily rely on donations of bedding, duvets, blankets, pillows, cushions and towels to keep their furry-friends warm.
Can I donate bedding to charity?
Donate Your Old Duvet
It is always best to check with a charity shop if they can accept it before taking a duvet for donation. A local animal shelter, animal rescue charity or shelter for the homeless may also be grateful for donations of duvets or indeed any unwanted bedding such as blankets.
