Your patronage, as well as your donations, are so appreciated.  there are many ways to support the work we do.

There are lots of ways to support C.A.T.S.

Donate Directly to C.A.T.S. Inc.

This is a great help as it offers us the extra funds to pay for the very many vet bills for our existing fosters and rescues. It also allows us to buy food, supplies and any other necessities in caring for all of our animals. Thank you for any donation you give, every little bit helps!

We are a 501(c)3 charity – donations are tax-deductible; tax receipts will be provided upon your donation drop-off. Thank you for your support.

About donating to the resale shop:

Please appreciate that our shop is small; if we accept donations that we cannot sell, we have to PAY to have them dumped – and that defeats our purpose.  Thank you for your understanding.

ACCEPTABLE items for the resale shop:

Clothing:  Women’s clothing, shoes, and handbags must be in excellent condition, in current style, and seasonal.

Any Item:  Cannot be chipped, broken, stained, or in unsellable condition.

Cookware:  Must be in excellent condition – no scratches or burns.

Dishware:  Cannot be chipped, scratched, or cracked, and must be in sets.

Please keep in mind:  the better the quality, the more money we can make for the animals!

We are UNABLE TO ACCEPT:                                                                             

VCR’S, VCR Tapes, Computers, printers, televisions, telephones (and related items), Personalized items, company mugs (and related items), Glasses (unless in sets of 4 or more), Stuffed animals (unless new with tags), Puzzles and games (unless new), Children’s items (unless new), Books and Magazines, Greeting cards from other charities

If you wouldn’t buy it for yourself or for a friend, please don’t bring it to us because we will be unable to sell it, and will have to PAY to have it removed.

Never leave donations outside of our shop when we are closed.  We reserve the right to refuse any donations.  Thank you so much for your support in helping the stray, abandoned, ill, and injured animals in our community!
