Money for dirty animal shelter

I have a wonderful idea, but I can't do it alone. I have always wanted to help my animal shelter. No one contributes to it but me and a couple of friends. We try so hard to make it a better place for the animals but no matter how hard we try, we just aren't enough. I would like make my part-time job of helping the shelter a full time job. How do I get donations? Do yall give donations? I have thought about this for a long time. I have always wanted to help this place out. I am an animal lover for sure. I need yalls help!!!
Thanks

I am not sure of that but I am for sure that you will get some good answers and tips from some of the others here..Good Luck though!!

Oh, so I can't get donations from people on this site or what? I don't understand how this works. For some reason yall are the only people I can find that actually care about cats or animals....That is very sad.

Like I said, I am not sure...I haven't been around long enough on this board to know that information....Maybe hissy might know/...hissy??

O okay...Thanks....May I ask how old are your lil kitties?

Rocky the tabby will be a year old next month..not sure the exact date, but Fluffy is 6 months old.....

Fluffy? 6months do you have a better picture of him? He looks really big...compared to my 6month old!

Fluffy is my female, the black and white one.....Rocky the male is almost a year old....
here is one of her but it was taken a couple weeks ago..

haha Sox is 6months, Day'Z is 7months and Smeagol is 4 months....your cats look HUGE compared to mine! They are so cute though. What do you feed yours?

I know that there is rules for asking for donations on this site. I dont remember what they are but im sure Hissy will chime in when she gets here.

May be you could put up flyiers in your local grocery store bullitans and at your local vets and pet stores. You can ask for supplies like bleach and paper towels, or litter or rags or anything else you might need.

If you are not-for-profit you may beable to put a plea in your local news paper pet section for free, if you ask.

Ya, the thing is, I have tried all this. People here just don't believe in making the animal shelter a better place. They say "Why should we contribute to a place that is in the worst part of town!" ...Well, It is in the worst part of town because it smells so bad and looks so trashy!!! It's so sad, I try to do my best, I was just wondering on your info. Thanks

I have been feeding them Authority kitten food but I am gradually taking them off of it and putting them on the adult Authority...

Do you know why my kitties are so little? They must be runts!!! I got them at the animal shelter, they weren't to heathly but now they are.

What are you feeding them?? I still free feed my kittes the dry food, but they get canned wet food once or twice daily...depends on their moods.....

It's not that they are skinny. More like the just aren't growing. Smeagol was put on Feline I/D. Now Day-Z is on it. Before they were on Purina Kitty Chow. The vet told me to just feed both so they will get some growth. No growth yet.

That is sad, if it is in such poor conditions then you need the help the most. Im sure there are petlovers in your town who would help. You just have to find them.

I have found a few, but not enough. I guess I'll just stick with to what I have been doing. Thanks for the info!!

Our humane soc. has an alluminum can program, where people bring there cans to the shelter and the shelter recycles them for the money.

Try switching to a high quality food instead. In comparison, eating kitten chow is like humans eating fast food junk food everyday..Good Luck though!!!

That is a good idea. Well, it's like. People want to adopt. They just don't want to go into the "bad part of town." Which I can admit it is rather scary. When we have adoption day at PetCo...people come and adopt. But we only take a few animals. It's not fair to the others to just pick those few. I wish there was some way we could get the public to just come down and see what beautiful animals we have. One of the cats I'm looking after just had kittens. I am thinking about taking them home with me. It's just no place to have kittens there, I doubt these would servive. Just not enough attention.
