🧺 We Need Your Towels & Blankets! 🐾💙
Our adorable patients have one simple request: “Please keep us warm, cozy, and snuggled!”

If you have gently used towels, blankets or comforters at home that are still in good condition, our furry friends would LOVE them! These donations help us keep every patient comfortable—from nervous kittens to senior pups who appreciate an extra-soft place to rest.

✨ What We Need:
• Clean towels
• Soft blankets and comforters
• In good, usable condition (no holes or heavy stains)

Every donation helps a tail wag a little harder or a purr rumble a little louder. 🐶🐱
Feel free to drop items off anytime during business hours!

Thank you for helping us keep our patients warm and wrapped in love! 💛🧡
