Wish List

There are many items that we are regularly in need of to provide good nutrition and a clean environment for the pets in our care. We would like to provide consistent food to prevent digestive issues, so please be mindful of requested brands. If at all possible, try to avoid heavily dyed pet foods as the dye isn't always digestible.

• Sheets, pillowcases, and other bed linens tend to get shredded and possibly consumed.
• Cages, crates, or carriers with rust cannot be thoroughly sanitized.
• Carpeted scratching posts cannot be used for cats here since we cannot sanitize them properly. We can put new and gently used, clean scratching posts, perches, or cat trees in our retail center.
