Pet Haven Litter for Good Recipient

Founded in 1952, Pet Haven is the first foster-based animal shelter rescue organization in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Over the years as the organization has grown and flourished, they have built a team of dedicated individuals who are committed to improving the lives of pets by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs and cats. Pet Haven is unique in that every cat that comes into their care lives with a foster family until they find their forever homes.

Approximately 3.2 million cats enter shelters every year and this year many shelters have felt an even bigger impact due to COVID-19. As a result, Pet Haven’s cat intake nearly doubled from last year, with more than 500 lives saved so far. Many cats are still in the Pet Haven Foster Home Program, and as we know, more cats mean the need for more litter.

To ensure all their feline guests have everything they need to feel comfortable and at home, Pet Haven reached out to Cat’s Pride for help. Many resources and materials can be expensive and hard to come by, which is why Cat’s Pride Litter for Good program has been essential in assisting Pet Haven with their litter supply. Donated litter from the program has helped Pet Haven save money needed to provide extra care for the cats including food, lodging and medical supplies.

Currently, the Litter for Good program has helped Pet Haven receive more than 24,000 pounds of litter, which is roughly enough for a whole year. You can view the donation delivery to Pet Haven on their YouTube page here.

“Cat’s Pride has been strategic in saving more lives! If we would have had to purchase litter we could not have saved as many as we have,” said Kerry D’Amato, Executive Director of Pet Haven. “The generosity of Cat’s Pride is so incredibly appreciated. I truly cannot thank them enough.”

PAWSibilities Animal Rescue Litter for Good Recipient

In 1998, a 12-year-old girl was on a mission to rescue every stray cat that wandered onto her mother’s property in Shippack, Pennsylvania. As time went on, her mother’s barn started overflowing with so many stray and lost cats that they could no longer appropriately house them all. Not about to give up on her mission to rescue these helpless cats, she founded PAWSibilities Animal Rescue, a non-profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to serving animals in need.

Today, PAWSibilities has grown to include two locations with six employees and 30 volunteers. PAWSibilities welcomes all domestic animals that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, or simply unloved. They foster all types of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, chickens, pigs and more.

Many resources and materials can be expensive and hard to come by, which is why the Cat’s Pride’s Litter for Good program has been essential to helping PAWSibilities with their litter supply. Donated litter from the program has helped PAWSibilities save funds in order to be able to take in more animals, provide more medical care and have a larger capacity to house their animals. PAWSibilities currently houses more than 200 cats and through the Litter for Good program, they have received over 13,000 pounds of litter.

PAWSibilities provides a loving and safe environment for all animals they take in from near and far to help find their forever homes. “A 17-year-old cat was recently adopted and it was such a happy day for everyone at the shelter. We know the cat is able to spend the last years of his life in a happy home,” said Kathy Mina, Senior Management at PAWSibilities.

With the help of the Cat’s Pride Litter for Good program and their gracious volunteers, PAWSibilities is able to save hundreds of animals each year. “Many volunteers have been with the rescue for over 10 years. One volunteer comes in every week and cleans the entire cat room,” said Mina.
