| • Corrugated
cardboard cat-scratcher pads—cats
love them and it would be nice to be able to include one
with every adoption
•
Cat
toys—cats love
home-made stuff—small and simple are best
•
Digital
camera—it would
be so handy to have one available for “loaning”
to fostercargivers so they could provide up-to-date photos
electronically for the website
• Paper
towels—our foster homes really
do try to use as few as possible, but when you’re
late for work and something messy happens...
•
Feliway™
(or Comfort Zone™) plug-in
diffusers and refills—these
contain artificial feline facial pheromones (kind of like
“feel-good/all-is-well” aroma therapy for cats)
We use them especially in multi-cat foster homes to help
with new-cat transitions
•
ScatMats™—we
use these very-very-low-voltage mats with behaviorally-challenged
cats who need to re-learn important lessons about things
like jumping up on the stove or to deter territorial marking
by the front door
•
Cash
donations—these
may be earmarked for the Feral Cat Project; Spay/Neuter;
Cat Rescue/Fostering/Adoption; or Financial Aid for Veterinary
Emergencies
•
In-kind
donations of your special skills—we
especially need folks with experience to share in public
relations; fund raising; grant writing; photography; and
providing foster care
•
Storage space—we
are always looking for secure, easily-accessible space to
store things like kitty havens; humane live traps; extra pet taxis; pallets
of food and litter; and other animal-oriented paraphernalia
• Canned
sardines or mackerel—we
use these “stinky” fish to bait our live-traps.
Cats (even the ferals, i.e., cats who have never been touched)
find the smell and taste irresistible
