Help out a Great Cat Shelter!

I volunteer at a fabulous cat shelter in Tualatin, Cat Adoption Team, and they desperately need supplies. It is run 90% by volunteers and on donations. If you can donate anything, that's fabulous!

The shelter is ALWAYS in need of old, unwanted, used towels to use as bedding, etc. (Good excuse for you to buy new towels for your bathroom!)

Here are other supplies they need:
Medical Supplies:
Band aids
Cotton balls
Hydrogen Peroxide
Isopropyl Alcohol
Lamisal (RW)/Anti-fungal cream
Q-Tips

Shelter Supplies:
Bedding/towels (No big blankets or sheets)
Bleach
Dishwasher Detergent
Fabric softener
Garbage bags (mostly 45 gallon)
Laundry Detergent
Lightbulbs
Paper Towels
Plastic silverware
Tall spray bottles
Tissues
Toilet Paper
Waterless Hand Sanitizer Refills or bottles
Ziploc Baggies (Sandwich size)


Donation Drop Off Locations:
Cat Adoption Team
14175 SW Galbreath, Sherwood, OR

Healthy Pets
22220 Salamo Rd, West Linn, OR
*Donation Barrel

Healthy Pets
Lake Oswego
*Donation barrel

(I can also take donated items to the shelter if you need.)


If you can spend $10 and get a few of the above listed supplies, that's would be awesome! And it's also tax deductible!

"CAT cares for 300 to 400 cats at any given time. About 250 cats are housed at the shelter, and depending on the season, an additional 200 more at various adoption outreach sites throughout Portland, and in our foster care program Caring for our cats requires more than time from our dedicated group of volunteers -- it also requires money and supplies. Because CAT does not euthanize healthy cats for any reason -- even those with leukemia, FIV, irritable bowel syndrome, broken pelvises, legs, or other treatable illnesses -- veterinary care can be expensive. Monetary donations are used to pay for the medical care of our cats, as well as help fund the general upkeep of the shelter. "

Thank you so much for your help and heart! :)
