As lovers of all things furry, it’s hard to deal with the fact that so many cats end up in shelters. While the cats are in cages, they have no cat scratch furniture to use which leads to a very unhappy kitty. The Stretch & Scratch can be easily attached to the door of a shelter cage and adjusted for maximum stretching! Donate a Stretch and Scratch and help make shelter life easier on kitties while they wait for their forever homes!

Day in and day out shelter dogs live with hard concrete floors, while cats seek a soft place to rest in their cages. You can make a world of difference in a homeless pet’s life by donating a comfortable, sturdy, easy to clean, Kuranda bed to the Pet Center. There is a special donation discount and beds ship directly to us.

When you purchase a Florida Animal Friend license plate, $25 of every plate sold goes directly to fund organizations across the state who offer free or low-cost spay and neuter services. By purchasing the plate or donating to show your support, we become one step closer to ensuring that all animals can have a safe, happy and loving home.
