Food or Litter Donations

If you wish to donate food, litter, or other supplies we will except anything at our adoption events.  We are at a local pet store every Saturday for adoptions!!! Call our adoption hotline to find out the location of the store (sometimes the location may change). ADOPTION HOTLINE: 321-795-6306. 

Our preferred brand of cat foods are Nutro, Purina ProPlan chicken & rice or turkey & rice, and Science Diet for dry food and Fancy Feast, Friskies, or Purina ProPlan for wet food.  Our preferred brand of litter is Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat followed by Scoop Away or Fresh Step.  We do accept other brands of food an litter too. Everything gets used.  Thank you!

Due to the economy, our foster moms are in need of dry food (please avoid store brands, thanks).  The animals are fed, but donations are scarce. You can do a food drive at work! Contact Mona at meowmail1@gmail.com to delivery. Thank you!

Vet Funding and Supplies Wishlist

From vetdepot.com: Rebound Oral Electrolyte Solution (12 bottles a month).  This can be dropped off at one of our adoption events. 

If you want to donate (anonymously is fine) at any of the vets we use, that would be great... The reception staff will credit our account!

Piedmont Animal Hospital, 407-880-7387, ask for Shirley (current outstanding balance for Bryce, Smores, Collier, and others is $800+)

Coastal Animal Hospital, 321-632-3800 (Coastal is the only homeopathic and the only chiropractic vet office in the central Brevard area as of now).

Dr. Karla McCloud, Animal Hospital of Central Brevard, 321-751-6007

TRANSPORTERS NEEDED

What is a transporter? It’s a great volunteer who is responsible, on time, and can help us get animals from foster homes to the vet (and back), and supplies back and forth between foster moms in Merritt Island, Cocoa, Rockledge, Melbourne and Palm Bay.

Many of our foster moms work full time, so this is difficult for them to do around their work schedules.  What will help is if a few folks can be “on call” for an errand.  Often we need something simple done, like vaccines driven from one foster mom’s house to the other.  Or to have kittens dropped off at the vet office by 8:30 a.m. for surgery, then picked up that afternoon and taken back to the foster mom.

Kitten season is upon us, so trips to the vet are increasing every week.  We could use transporters a couple of times a week. Thanks!

If interested contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com.
