                                                          Cat food!

                                                          Picture
                                                          Dry food.  Canned food.  Kitten food.  Special cat diet food.  We can use it all!  We go through about $800 of cat food every month so donations of all kinds of cat food are greatly appreciated.    And we can always use more feeding bowls and dishes!

                                                          Bleach & low sudsing laundry soap

                                                          The washing machine is always going at Catlink, washing bedding from kennels and carriers.  Every load is bleached.  We do a bleach rinse on all cat dishes, bowls, kennels and carriers to reduce the spread of infection and use bleach to mop floors and other surfaces.  We go through a lot of it! 

                                                          Wood Pellets - used as litter

                                                          Picture
                                                          We always need standard wood pellets to be used as litter.  We currently use about $225 worth of wood pellets per month.

                                                          Mops, brooms, garbage bags, cleaning wipes, paper towels....

                                                          Picture
                                                          365 days a year, every room in the shelter needs to be cleaned.  We can always use supplies that help us keep our shelter clean for the cats.  We use a lot of paper towels and garbage bags.

                                                          Other things we can always use:

                                                          Cat carriers

                                                          Cat carriers - we never seem to have enough of them!  Small carriers are best.

                                                          Towels, small blankets for cat bedding

                                                          Picture
                                                          Every cat that comes into our clinic for spay/neuter has a  towel or blanket in its kennel while waiting.  After surgery, it is given a clean one for recovery.  We go through a lot of towels and small blankets and never have enough!  Those towels that you think are too worn for your nice bathroom are perfect for cat bedding! 

                                                          Cat Beds

                                                           If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a cat to sleep in comfort while at Catlink, please donate a Kuranda cat bed.

                                                          Live traps

                                                          Picture
                                                          Tomahawk and Safeguard are two brands that have given us good performance.  Traps should have a rear door that slides open and be big enough for a cat. 

                                                          Add comfort to caged cats

                                                          Picture
                                                          Consider purchasing a box of Stretch 'n' Scratch pads to comfort cats in cages and kennels.  Order from http://stretchandscratch.com/order.htmlww.  A case of 50 is $75.  A half case is $45.  These are wonderful for sheltered cats!
