We are running low on kitten food

We're running low on kitten food. We would appreciate it if you could find it in your heart to donate some. Farm fresh has a program where you can buy a bag of discounted pet food and litter and they will donate it to our shelter. If you plan on donating pet food or cat litter please ask about the program at your local farmfresh.

We don't just have cats and dogs!
