🐾 WE’RE OUT OF WET CAT FOOD! 🐾

Our shelter cats (and the many kittens in foster homes!) are running low on wet food — and we could really use the community’s help. ❤️

👉 Our kittens especially love pâté-style wet cat food, but we’ll gratefully accept any brand or type.

👉 We have plenty of dry food, but our cats rely on wet food for hydration and balanced nutrition — especially the little ones and seniors.

🏠You can drop off donations any time between 9 AM – 4:30 PM (closed 12–1 PM) at GAIN in Yigo.
💻Or you can donate directly to our fundraiser so we can go out and get the supplies needed: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=9LL3H8VTY8CBJ

Every can helps keep bellies full and purrs going. 🐱💜

🐾🚨 GAIN Needs Cat Litter! 🚨🐾

Our shelter kitties (and foster cats across the island) are in urgent need of cat litter. Did you know that we go through over 20 lbs of litter every single day? That’s hundreds of pounds every week just to keep our cats clean, healthy, and comfortable.

Cat litter is one of the most essential supplies we use:
✨ It keeps our cats’ kennels sanitary and odor-free.
✨ It helps prevent the spread of illness in the shelter.
✨ It makes fostering possible by giving families the tools they need to care for cats in their homes.

Without it, we simply can’t provide the safe and clean environment our cats deserve.

💛 How you can help right now:
👉 Donate directly here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RZJA3P5CCTRSG
🛒 Drop off any cat litter at GAIN in Yigo (open daily 9–5, closed 12–1).

Every scoop of litter truly makes a difference for the animals in our care. Thank you for helping us keep their little paws clean and their lives healthy! 🐱❤️

🚨Puppy Foster Need🚨

We have 2 adorable pups in need of fostering for about 2-3 weeks so they can be of weight for apay!
They are currently estimated to be about 5 weeks. Both females.

They will do great in a home, where they can focus on fattening up and getting the love and attention they deserve.

Supplies can be provided.

If you are able to foster, please react with a ❤️ and an admin will reach out to you.

Thank you!
