Paws for a Cause!

(Click for picture to go larger)

I was hanging out at King Street Cats

this past weekend when a nice lady came by

with many bags of food, treats, and litter

that she wanted to donate to us.

Her car was full of cat items!

I was so touched by her generosity,

and I asked her for her address so KSC

could send her a thank-you note.

She informed me that it was her son 

that gathered up all these goodies for KSC.

Her son?

She went on to explain that he places a

shopping cart outside the Safeway

on Royal Street in Old Town Alexandria,

decorates it with a sign,

and leaves it for people to make donations.

The items can be for cats or dogs,

and he includes a list of the commonly needed items.

The cat items come to King Street Cats

and the dog items go to the Alexandria Animal Shelter.

Is that a great kiddo or what?!?!?

Ben Devine,

you clearly have a big heart for animals

and we all cannot thank you enough!

There are so many ways to help out at King Street Cats!

Maybe some of the more "traditional," on-site jobs 

don't work for you or with your schedule,

but perhaps you could do a similar supply drive

at your local shopping store,

or church, or school, or work, or gym, or...

Maybe you have a kiddo who needs to do

community service as a part of the school curriculum

and this could count towards those hours.

Click here to see a list of items

we most often use at KSC,

but we also have a supply pantry for 

those who need assistance because of

financial restraints or because they are

taking care of a feral community.

We are appreciative of any donations

as we are 100% volunteer-run

and receive absolutely no funding

except donations that people give us.

If you have further questions,

please contact us at Contact@KingStreetCats.org.

Supplies can be dropped off at

25 S. Dove Street, Alexandria, VA,  22314

Saturdays and Sundays, between 1:30-4:30.
