Thank you for wanting to adopt a homeless dog or cat. Our shelter has many healthy, loving animals just waiting to be in a home like yours.
Every time you buy a GREEN JUG of Cat’s Pride cat litter, a pound of litter is donated to animal welfare organizations across America to help more shelter cats find forever homes. Also, as a Cat’s Pride Club member, you can nominate your favorite shelter to receive donated litter right now.
