Winter Wish List

Urgent: During cold weather, we especially need lots of soft bedding! Squares of fleece or other soft, thick fabrics are a cheap, effective way to provide ALL animals with a warm blanket to sleep on.

Thank you Chico Community for all your generous donation in 2009!

All donations are tax-deductible. Contributions may be brought to the shelter anytime during business hours. Pickup is available for larger donations upon request and dependent on availability.
