You wouldn't deny this pretty girl a treat, would you? While you're out getting Halloween candy at the last minute, throw in a small bag or a case of cat food! Helping Knox PAWS and Feed-A-Pet doesn't have to be expensive. Just like Halloween candy - if we all give a little, we end up with a lot!

Do you ever wonder why Knox PAWS is always asking for donations? It's because we serve 180 animals each month, with more on a waiting list. We only receive about half of the donations we need every month. Without Knox PAWS and Feed-a-Pet, our clients wouldn't be able to have a companion animal due to the financial barrier. We are always looking for grants and other sources of funding, but for now, your support is vital!

You may see our posts and think, "I really want to donate, but I just can't afford it." We understand! BUT did you know that you can donate a bag of food for only $5? Or treats from the dollar store for $1.25? If you're tight on money, please share our posts and help spread the word! Every action helps. 🎃

Thanks so much AJCC Preschool

We are sending a BIG HUG and GREAT BIG THANKS to the Knoxville Jewish Alliance Preschool at AJCC for donating $500 worth of pet food and supplies! One of the most important teachings at the AJCC is “peer relationships, and socially responsible values”… We think the school is doing a wonderful job of teaching their youth these qualities!
