These are immediate needs - supply is very low or completely out of:

- Supplemental Milk/Formula (for puppies or kittens)
- Rice (white, fast cooking)
- Plain Yogurt (not low, non-fat or with fruit)
- Cat & Dog Treats
- Cat Litter


I'll continue to update the Master List as the ongoing/continuing needs list for your reference.

Shelter is open from 12 to 5 daily (except Wednesday).



Thanks for any assistance you are willing to do

I will bring some of the stuff by this afternoon!!!

[overit]

I have a question....can you use baby formula for the kittens and puppies? I know I get samples my little can't use, wondering if the animals could use them.

[Meltid]

Baby formula would be a great help, overit! Thank you and katied, also!

[CreativeOne]

thank you katied & overit!

[katied]

I took them some of everything except for the cat litter b/c I had forgotten the list in my car and it was the only thing I couldnt remember!!!!

We picked up some extra items while we were at walmart buying dogfood for our own adopted pup... two GIANT things of Clorox (the biggest size you can buy) and a giant bag of dog bones... I will swing by tomrorow and drop them off!


Also, specifically what type of baby formula do you all need for the kittens/puppies. I don't want to buy the wrong kind! Just let me know when you get a chance.

Hubby and I went up there this afternoon and dropped off our goods... If anyone is looking for a puppy or kitten they have TONS and TONS of tiny itty bitty babies to choose from. We almost took a kitten home with us, but our other two kitties would have NOT been happy with us.

They were precious though!

They also had some golden retriver mix puppies that were the cutest I have ever seen. I might run up there tomorrow to snap some pictures to put on Pcom. Too cute.

I'm sure you got lots of "thank you" from the staff, but I'll add one more ..... THANK YOU!

"baby" formula??? I know a lot of the petstores (and some sections of the other stores where pet items are sold), have packages of kitten or puppie formula. I know what I've gotten in the past, comes already pre-made in packages or comes dry as well (which is usually what I get as all you do is add water). I'm sure whatever you find will be extremely appreciated!







Thanks for all who help!
It is SO appreciated!

"baby" formula???

Yeah, apparently they can use actual infant formula for the kittens/puppies... I didn't know this either, but there is a post above (earlier in the thread) that talks about it.

ARP -- that was me!

yes, I know they can use "furry one baby formula" -- sometimes Mom's reject or can't find Mom, so they bottle feed --- hence the information I posted above ya!

whatever you find will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hey everyone!

I went by the shelter today, and CreativeOne was there helping the furry friends as she always does on Saturdays. She told me these needs are still ongoing, so I wanted to bump this up as a reminder or encouragement to anyone who might want to help out. There are LOTS of puppies and kittens up there right now. I saw 4 nursing Moms, and another Mom and litter came in while I was there.

Please help if you can!

[animallvr]

Also, canned cat food for the babies and nursing moms.

Thanks Quintain for the post and passing on the message!

Thank you all who have given to the PCAC & PHS!

Today, we had some WONDERFUL donations - so very appreciated

As always ... the Master List posted at the top of this forum lists a few ideas of what can be donated. But below, I've copied my previous post, highlighting a current need = supplies are very low.

Thanks again ...

I just left the shelter & here is the immediate/urgent needs - supply is very low or completely out of:
- Supplemental Milk/Formula (for puppies or kittens)
- Canned Cat Food (any kind)
- Rice (white, fast cooking)
- Plain Yogurt (not low or non-fat or with fruit)
- Cat & Dog Treats (could really use some soft dog treats)


I'll continue to update the Master List as the ongoing/continuing needs list for your reference.

The shelter will be CLOSED on Monday, May 26th (Memorial Day), but is usually open every day from 12 to 5 (except Wednesday)


Thank you for considering to donate ..... it is all so appreciated!

[joflo]

Bump! Don't forget those poor shelter cats and dogs that need to be taken care of this weekend.

Today you can bring up some of the items they need urgently and they will very much appreciate it.

As Creative One said: fast cooking rice, supplemental milk for the kittens, canned cat food, toys, treats, plain yogurt too.

Thank you!

[ritualmaker1]

[joflo]

Oh I have some powdered formula myself for babies. I will take it up there now that I know they can use it.

Someone else have any left that they can't use?

When you shop for your holiday cookout, please pick up some of the items needed. Those babies are not enjoying this weekend at all and depend on us to take care of them.

If you drive up the back driveway by the baseball field you can leave things by that gate and they will be found today.

[CreativeOne]

If anyone is out and about tomorrow and is willing to help ....

I just heard the Shelter is extremely low on rice (just about gone ) and yogurt is not far behind.


TIA!

[CreativeOne]

Just wanted to send out a THANK YOU to all who came and donated today.

.... there was about 60# of rice donated today & at least 5 or 6 LARGE tubs of yogurt! So many there and this will help so much!



No, I don't know how much they go through during the week - I'm getting that information - but this will help so many while they are there .....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[CreativeOne]

UPDATED: Shelter could really use the following as supply is ....

Cat Treats (none)
Dog Treats (low)
Shredded Paper (low)
Rice (was out, but at least a 10 lb bag came in today and that should last through tonight and maybe tomorrow)
Yogurt (low, one tub left)


Thanks for considering to donate -- it is ALL appreciated!!

[Murphyfallsdown]

hey my doctor at the clinic said that all the extra prefilled heprin and prefilled saline suringes leftover could be donated to the animal shelter as long as it was still in it orginal wrap and un opened well we have like 20 of them left from last week and I was wondering if you guys could use them they said that is what they do with the leftovers since it is the same stuff they use for dogs and cats as well as humans.

[CreativeOne]

Sorry! I thought I responded last night, but somehow it the shuffle of getting this to be a pinned topic, my response got lost ....

YES!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Any "extra" medication will be taken by the shelter and I'm not sure they are all that concerned if it is still sealed or not.
You can drop off any time they are open - 12 to 5 daily (but Wednesday).

[CreativeOne]

yes ... the shelter will use left over infant formula as it really isn't "cow milk based" .....

Thanks to all who do donate and those considering it!
Times are tough for us all, but especially for our furry companions as they can't help themselves .... they look to us ...

[SlugPug]

Creative One, I have a question!!!!


I have some old pillows and comforters and was wondering if the shelter could find use for these as like make-shift dog beds or whatever? I thought I would ask before I threw them away...

Yes - they will take them. Helps with the moms and the elderly especially.
Thanks for checking & willing to donate!

Thank you to you and your wife! Everything is so appreciated and I hope she took some time to share what she brought to them -- that is the "fun" part of donating as each cage or run furry companions will give you the " is that for me, thanks !" look


and as far as you not adopting more ..... we (I) can "promise" to check her pockets before she leaves, but no guarentee she won't find someone to bring home on her travels to you house!

THANKS AGAIN!

Just a friendly reminder as the needs are still there and these items really are extremely los ....
Please consider to help if you can ....
Thanks!

As mentioned in another post -- this is a duplicate post, but soooooo needs to be repeated ....

.... supplies are so low ....

Newspaper -- if you get the daily/weekly paper or even just the Paulding Neighbor, please save the newspaper for the shelter (coupons can be given to Cherry Pie), but supply is extremely low and it is so needed to line cages ..... Shredded (straight cut only please, no cross cut) is needed, but not as much as just plain newspaper.

Had a bag of rice donated (50#) but it is only expected to last a few days as the shelter is slammed ....
Yogurt in the same situation .....

Canned food is also very low -- and suppliments for the babies in coming is (and yes, they are still coming in).

Any help passing the word is EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!!
Thank you!

[ridge rd retiree]

i will try to get by tomorrow with some newspapers

[CreativeOne]

Please if you have any plain newspaper (no ads) bring it to the shelter .
I took what I had & bugged my neighbors this morning, but it was gone when I left today There was only a few sheets left ...
Also .... very low is:
- treats
- plain long grain white rice
- plain yogurt (no low fat, non fat or fruit)

canned food & supplement for kittens/puppies is appreciated too!


and this request is gonna sound strange at first, but please read the explanation ...... does anyone have any cheap olive oil? The really really cheap stuff, not "virgin" anything type. A little can be used at the shelter. It is good to put on skin which is raw to help it "seal" and provide comfort. We got a wonderful donation of tree tea oil extract which can be added to the olive oil to help provide healing and comfort. Doesn't have to be much, but I thought I'd ask

[JADE]

Can anyone get in touch with Tommy at the recycling center and see if he could delievery some newspaper. I checked the website and it doesn't open till Monday. Anybody know if he p.coms?

[lumak]

I have an entire garbage bag full of newspapers. Would you like them?
