We have such a generous community of supporters like you and we could not fulfill our mission without you. However, the substantial volume of in-kind donations has presented logistical and financial challenges. At this time, we can only accept items that address our essential needs which currently include unopened pet food, treats, and towels. We are also accepting items on our Amazon Wishlist. Thank you for your understanding! 

Accepted Items

• Unopened, unexpired, non-prescription, non-refrigerated cat food

• Unopened, unexpired, non-prescription, non-refrigerated dog food

• Cat treats

• Dog treats

• Rabbit treats

• Blankets

• Towels

• Soft cat carriers

If you’d like to donate other used items, we suggest contacting our friends at Humane Society Silicon Valley, or your local SPCA, Salvation Army, or Goodwill. For prescription food donations, we suggest calling Alum Rock Animal Hospital.
