Editor’s Note: This is a sidebar to the story on the need for foster and adoptive homes for cats.
PITTSFIELD – Both foster and adoptive homes are badly needed for animals at the Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter, but there are many ways people in the community can help solve the problem of abandoned cats, kittens, dogs and puppies.
In addition to finding homes for animals, the following items are always needed at Sonsini:
*Donations toward veterinary bills and pet meds
*Dry dog food (Purina One is a favorite)
*Canned and dry kitten food
*Non-scoopable cat litter
*Kongs, tennis balls and puzzle feeders
*Liquid hand soap
*Hand sanitizer
*Dishwasher detergent
*Laundry detergent (HE)
*Disposable gloves (M&L)
*30-gallon trash bags
*Postage stamps
*Gift Cards to Staples, Petco, Walmart or Price Chopper
