Blankets and towels needed for the cats and dogs…can you help?

During the Labour Day long weekend, the severe flooding used up our reserves of towels as staff dried off sodden dogs and cats that had fled during the storms, as well as mopping up areas of the Home that had flooded. 

Typically towels are used to wrap scared ‘new arrivals’ in, providing them with security and comfort, as well as drying off dogs that have been bathed and within the vet clinic and hospital.

With over 20,000 animals cared for at the Home each year, towels are a necessity! 

Cats and kittens are given smaller blankets to provide them a warm and cosy bed during their stay. 

If you (or a friend or relative) are planning a clean out and have some old towels or smaller blankets, please consider donating them for the animals.
