Our elderly cat passed away last week, and I have a few partial boxes of litter, opened bags of food and three boxes of canned food. Where is the best place to take these items? Shelter or a vet?
There's a no kill shelter in Hearne, right off 6 before you get to the light and McDonald's. They had a sign out a couple weeks ago asking for cat treat donations.
Both shelters here are also very appreciative of donations. I had a kitty who was on a specialized diet and that kind of food can only go to kitties who are prescribed that food. So, I placed an ad on our "Nextdoor" community page to give it away instead of throwing it out and actually found a family whose kitty is on that prescription diet.
Thank you. He was the best cat I've ever had, as a lifelong cat lover. My 6 year old is taking it pretty hard. I'll try to get out this week to take the goods to a shelter.
There is also Long Way Home Animal Sanctuary. Long Way Home Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that maintains a caring, nurturing home life for pets deemed "unadoptable" or who have been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness.
BCS Spay would LOVE a donation. They are a non-profit spay/neuter program that operates in the Brazos County. They also have a foster/adoption program. You can meet with Amy and her staff at PetSmart this coming Saturday around noon.
