SCRAPS almost out of cat food
SCRAPS is overwhelmed with cats and is looking for people to adopt black cats and kittens.

The Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service needs help restocking its shelves.
The shelves in the food storage room are almost completely bare of cat and kitten food, according to a SCRAPS new release.
“We depend entirely on donations from the public of pet food and cat litter,” SCRAPS director Nancy Hill said in the news release. “Right now we only have a few bags of cat and kitten food left on our shelves and we are being inundated with cats.”
So far this year, SCRAPS has received nearly 2,000 cats and kittens, according to the news release. With an average of 60 cats at any one time, the cat food supplies dwindle rapidly.
To make a tax-deductible donation of cat food or a monetary donation, visit the shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road in Spokane Valley.

that’s sad that people don’t want black cats, I have had black cats most all of my life and there is nothing wrong with them! I would like to donate online to help with getting more catfood. I don’t live in, or near, the Spokane area I just don’t like the thought of cats not having food. I can’t do much but I would like to give some money, please advise how this is possible without coming in to the location.

Hawksquawk, who cares? If you can’t afford a dog, get rid of it. Derp.

My point Maria.

If only pet owners all spayed and neutered their cats and dogs…

The food is to feed animals in the shelter, not for deadbeat pet owners. Reading comp 101, Hawken, take it this quarter at SFCC.

So Hawken can’t afford his dog anymore, takes it to SCRAPS. Seems like this is the root of the problem.

Thanks for the link Lynn. I sent them $200 for food. I called and right now they have 20 kitties.
J is correct. Spay and neutering is about the only way to control this type of thing. Something about animals….just so natural and innocent. I cannot walk away from them. Bless the beasts and the children…….
