Please consider recycling your old towels and bedding (sheets, blankets, comforters) and donate them to a local shelter. These items supply comfort and warmth to the many homeless cats and dogs living in shelters, awaiting adoption.
If transportation or time is problematic, you can leave items on my porch and I'll distribute. Email me for address. Make sure to wash all items and put in a plastic bag. Of course, shelters need your support in other ways, too. And, most importantly, these animals need homes! Support you local shelters and rescue organizations, and adopt a new friend today! Thanks! -Linda Some local organizations: In our neighborhood (!) : CITY KITTIES RESCUE (W.Phila.) http://www.citykitties.org/ "City Kitties rescues stray cats and kittens from the streets of West Philadelphia, gives them proper veterinary and behavioral care, and adopts them out to happy new homes.
